Craig David, who most millennials will recognize from his 2000's R&B jam "7 Days," is in the midst of solidifying a comeback that has taken a couple of years. Following 2016's Follow My Intuition, David has now dropped off another full-length studio effort called The Time Is Now. Mixing his well-known smooth style of R&B grooves with some hip-hop and reggae elements, this is a diverse and well-choreographed record in terms of its production.
One highlight continues to be the Goldlink and Kaytranada-assisted song, "Live in the Moment," which had previously dropped as a single prior to the album's release. "Heartline" and "For The Gram," two more pre-released tracks that are included on the LP, help bolster some familiarity with David's new sonic approach.

After several changes in location this year, things finally settled down in The Peace Drum Project, after sessions were moved to CAI's offices at 311 Forest Hills St. An energetic group of Boston high school students are enrolled in the project this year, and they are developing their problem-solving abilities and social skills while exploring various visual and performing arts activities. Recent trips to Blue Man Group, AAMARP Studios, and a workshop by artist (and CAI board member) Belinda Lyons have fired up the teens creativity in preparation for working on drums for the elders in the coming weeks.
Equally inspiring are the elders we are working with from Farnsworth House, Julia Martin House, and the Bromley Apartments in Jamaica Plain. Most of the elders this year are Boston natives, but their stories are wide ranging and fascinating, and we are excited to share them with the larger community as part of our annual exhibit The 2008 Peace Drums and the elder's stories will be on exhibit from June 4 through July 3 at the Boston Public Library, Jamaica Plain Branch on Sedgwick St. The Peace Drum Celebration & Awards Ceremony will be held at Julia Martin House, 90 Bickford St. on Tuesday, June 3 from 5-7PM.
Plans for the summer and the coming year include a proposed expansion of the project to two locations, reaching twice as many teens and elders. Also in process is a curriculum guide and training package to help other artists and community educators set up similar arts-based intergenerational projects in many other locations. A workshop presenting the project's structure, goals, and assessment techniques was included in this years YouthWork Intensive conference sponsored by The Medical Foundation at UMass Boston in March.
Thanks to CAI's foundation partners who are making this year's project possible including: The Janey Fund, Robbins-deBeaumont Foundation, Foley-Hoag Foundation, and Boston After-School and Beyond. Thank you to all of the individuals who supported the project through CAI's Annual Appeal, and special thanks to Carol Hornblower and Fred Weber who contributed to the Charles Holley Memorial Scholarship Fund again this year. The Scholarship will be presented during the Awards Ceremony.
To check out the drums and elder's stories from all of the project's past years, go to http://www.tribal-rhythms.org/drum_exhibit.html.

CAI's Tribal Rhythms Touring Company has been reaching out to people of all ages this year from pre-Kindergarten children to elders in towns all over Eastern Massachusetts. The Tribal Rhythms Celebration, and The Story of The Weakest & The Strongest have visited schools and housing developments in Dedham, Dorchester, Easton, Hudson, Melrose, Roxbury, Somerville, Taunton, Tyngsborough, Upton, Wakefield, Wareham, and Worcester in recent months.
Thank you very much for visiting our school recently to spread the important message of treating each other with respect and kindness. All students, teachers, and parents were provided with something to take from your program and implement in their own lives. Keep up the great work! I'm sure you make a difference to many!

With funding from The Boston Public Schools for 2008, Partnership artist/educators are working with classroom teachers and their students at the Agassiz, Taylor, Haley, and Sumner Elementary Schools in Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and Roslindale. Through in-classroom sessions, teachers and Partnership staff focus on implementing classroom strategies that foster "Cognitive Affective Coupling — integrating what the child feels, enjoys, and knows into his or her academic life. To accomplish this, a classroom teacher teams with a Partnership artist/educator to create engaging experiences that connect what students need to learn with their emotional world. One strategy for helping students constructively work with their emotions, and learn empathy, was to have each team lead drum-making and music making lessons. As artist/educators modeled how to present activities that emotionally engage students, teachers learned that they could simultaneously teach social skills, arts, science, and speaking and writing skills in one seamless lesson. Teachers are also realizing that the learning achieved by integrating subjects is superior to the learning achieved teaching one disconnected subject at a time. For more information about the Partnership, contact Curtis at 617-524-6378.
CAI is part of CommunityWorks, an independent partnership of 27 grass roots organizations working for social and economic justice. You can invest in just social and economic change by supporting CommunityWorks through workplace payroll contributions. Check out the CW site www.communityworks.com. CW is currently preparing to take part in workplace campaigns at Northeastern, Brandeis and Tufts Universities, and at Wellesley College. If you have contacts at these institutions, please support Communityworks as a way of supporting CAI and other social justice non-profits in Greater Boston.
One of the teens in The Peace Drum Project needs an internet ready computer for doing homework and online research. Nothing fancy! A printer to go with it would help if anyone has one. CAI needs a Mac G4 laptop to use for programs. If you have any of these and would like to make a tax-deductible donation, call CAI at 617-524-6378.
CAI needs volunteers to help with office, grants development, and program support activities. If you have a few hours a week or a day you'd like to help out with short term tasks such as on-line research, data entry, promotional mailings, or program support call us at 617-524-6378. Thanks to the amazing volunteers who have helped at CAI during the last six months including: Liz Elia & Carlos Bruna, Linda Cohen and Tori Steere. Special Thanks, also, to all of the CAI's Board members who have helped with events, fundraising, website development, and working CAI hours at CommunityWorks. CAI Internships are still available for Spring and Fall semesters to work in the Tribal Rhythms Touring program, Partnership for Whole School Change, Marketing & Public Relations, and Grants Development For more information check out CAI's website under Internships, or call Susan at 617-524-6378.

Maurice & Mary Danaher of Gl
My Grandfather on my fathers side is the son of John Maurice Danaher and Margaret Leahy who lived at Upper Athea. According to Jim Barrett this John Maurice Danaher was a brother of Philip Danaher in Glenagower. They were born around the same time 1786 and 1798 and both died in their 99th year. Lets hope I have inherited some of that. So my Grandfather in Athea and my Great Grandfather in Monemohill were first cousins.
This John Maurice Danaher had a son Maurice Danaher who was married to Julia Walsh and lived at Ahane, Knocknagoshel, Co Kerry. Julia Walsh was related to the writer Maurice Walsh ", possibly an Aunt of his. We can begin to imagine how Maurice Walsh came up with the characters in his book "Green Rushes" where he records the story of "The Quiet Man". There is strong evidence that he based it on his Ahane cousins. The principal characters included William and Ellen Danaher, names of two of his first cousins. When John Houston made his film he changed the names to Red Will Danaher and Mary Kate Danaher. The Quiet Man " Paddy Bawn Enright became Sean Thornton or Trooper Thornton. In real life William and Ellen were to meet a tragic end.
In 1936 four of Maurice and Julia Danaher's children, then elderly, died within a week of each other. It appears that none of the four had married and they were still living together at home on their 70 acre farm. Three of them, William, Maurice and Ellen, died on the 9th March 1936 and the fourth, Stephen, died a few days later in Tralee Hospital. I have extracted copies of this tragic story as it appeared in the "Cork Examiner' between10th March and 2nd April 1936. Originally I was told that they died of poisoning as a result of drinking contaminated water collected from the roof of their house because their well had frozen over. However the verdict handed down at the final inquest was that they had died from 'natural causes'. The evidence presented pointed to pneumonia and heart failure. The Coroner mentioned talk of poising but that there was no evidence whatsoever of this. Their nephew Tim Danaher, who worked as a producer with RTE in his recording called 'A Gift of Ink' recalls their tragic deaths saying, 'they died because the common cold was no excuse to neglect the tyrant land'.

My great grandparents, John Danaher and Margaret Leahy, were farmers and lived at Upper Athea. It appears that my grandfather married into the Woulfe family who ran the Post Office in the village.It is possible they helped him to set up his own business directly across the road from St Bartholomew's Church or he may have been given the running of the Post Office where Bartholomew Woulfe was postmaster. It is said he was the first Postmaster in Athea. There is a bridge outside the village called after him and known today as "Batts Bridge". Either way Grandfather's business prospered and he became quite wealthy and influential.

Oskar Eustis, the artistic director of the Public Theater, has put more distance between the theater and the monologist Mike Daisey, who was found to have fabricated details in his one-man show "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," which just finished a hugely successful run at the Public.
In remarks offered Thursday night before a panel discussion on the fallout from the revelations, Mr. Eustis was more critical of Mr. Daisey than he had been after the radio show "This American Life" first disclosed that incidents recounted in the stage production, about Apple's labor practices in China, had been invented or embellished. The radio show had run a lengthy excerpt of "The Agony and the Ecstasy," only to retract it after discovering the inaccuracies.
The panel, held at the Public, featured journalists as well as playwrights who draw on factual material, including interviews, for their work: Steve Cosson, the artistic director of the "investigative theater" troupe the Civilians ("In the Footprint"); Jessica Blank ( "The Exonerated"); and Taylor Mac.
Among the questions raised: Can theater hew to the standards of journalism, and should it? Will artists who base their work on documentary sources be more self-conscious going forward? Will the Daisey affair marginalize other theater-makers who aim to influence political conversation? Will it set back efforts by journalists and activists who seek to bring to light labor conditions in China and elsewhere?
During a question-and-answer session with the audience Mr. Eustis spoke again, indicating that the Public had checked the veracity of other pieces of documentary-based theater during his tenure, but did not in the case of Mr. Daisey's show, a decision he said he regretted.
His statement is posted at the Public Theater Web site. Participants on the panel, which was organized by Adam Feldman of Time Out magazine, said they hoped to put it out as an online podcast for those who weren't able to attend.


You guys and your sand dunes, I like my Tree's lol. But really I would love the chance to ride out west one day.
count me out , I'm in Michigan . me and one other guy do have tentative plans to go to St Anthony's this fall . 1800 miles to get there , worth it when yeah get there, but all of 33 hr of road time , we to are looking for people to make the trip . you would think people would be standing in line for a chance to ride that kind of sand . all we ask is ,pay your fraction for of the price of the gas out and back .
whats really odd I can find people going to OK LS . been there, its not that great. its really just a bigger version of silver lake sand dunes .
Unfortunate but I understand. Some other time.
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love riding in the woods. Durhamtown in Georgia is my favorite so far.
I will look into that weekend for sure. Thanks for the suggestion. Like I said, I have to wait until I'm stateside and I get back into the regular grind.
I like WV ,it is a favored place to go .
there is a trail system here in the trees as well but its only good after a rain to knock the dust down .
I grew up in Tucson! How long you been there?
Yes, I do like sand dunes... but my general riding is in the Sierras with lots of trees... really fun, unless you clip one.

I just so happen to see this one happen. I can assure you the rider was grateful there was a tree to stop him because it was a long way to the bottom.
trees are deadly or they could save you from great bodily harm.
any one for a trip to the dunes ?


"You know, when I think about what we have accomplished in 10 years, my body knows it has been 10 years of CWE but my mind doesn't. It feels like just yesterday that we started this. And when we started CWE we were running one show a month in Winnipeg and that was it. And now we are doing 38 events across the country. We did over 120 live events last year," Warren said.
The 10th Anniversary Tour will include stops in new markets like Vancouver.
"It is absolutely insane to think about where we started to where we are now," he added.
"And if it wasn't for the fans in these markets we wouldn't be able to keep going further west or going further east because we need there to be a strong pillar to keep moving forward and they just keep on building them for us. So we are really grateful for that," he said.
The goal of CWE is to be recognized as Canada's national wrestling company.
"Even though it is not covering the entire country we are covering pretty much the majority of the Canadian cities," Warren added.
He explained that the tour was going well with Melfort as the seventh stop of 38. All of the wrestlers have energy and were excited to be in Melfort. The featured performer for the tour is former WCW and WWE wrestler and luchador (Mexican wrestling) legend Psicosis.
Warren explained that they are trying to build a following in Melfort.
"I haven't had a chance to peek out there yet but it is sounding good, it is sounding like they are having a good time which means we are having a good time," Warren said.
Despite moving on to running large markets Warren explained that small markets like Melfort and their previous stop in Yorkton are the heart of the promotion.
"I love going to a lot of the small towns more so than some of the big cities because they are starved for entertainment so we get a little more energy out of them and they are a little more appreciative of what is coming through," Warren said.
He explained that Yorkton has been a big part of the success of CWE and they wouldn't have grown so much without the support of that community.
"They have been so supportive and loyal to our brand that whenever we come to town, it doesn't matter if it is a Friday, a Saturday or a Sunday night, a Tuesday night they always fill the place up and that is awesome. And that is exactly what we have been seeing more and more of across the country," Warren said.
In the opening match Maddison Miles pinned "The Masterpiece Of The East" Alix Zwicker.
In the second match of the night "The Belgian Bull" Robin Lekime & Martn Pain defeated the duo of Beri Grayson amd Tyler Adam when Lekime broke Adams in half with The Bull Driver. This match was the second match of Adam's career. Adam is from Warman.
Just before the intermission headliner and Psicosis pinned wXw Germany Star Norman Harras with a Guillotine Leg Drop.
Following the intermission CWE Champion "Hotshot" Danny Duggan submitted DDT Star & Spain's 7ft Giant Alex Ace with The Crueler Crossface. To end the nigh In an ode to the first ever headlining feud in CWE history "The Zombie Killer" MENTALLO repeated history and pinned CWE Tag Team Champion and Melfort's least favourite member of the promotion "The Canadian Crusher" AJ Sanchez to garner a little retribution for how the tag titles were stolen from Psicosis and him the night before in Yorkton.
"I just want to say thank you to the fans of CWE for getting with us for 10 years and we are really excited to bring you another 10," Warren said.
CWE was in Prince Albert on Tuesday, April 2 and Saskatoon on Wednesday, April 3.
They return to Saskatchewan with more stops on the tour in mid-April after stops in Alberta and British Columbia.

Festival Diary: Nova Heart
They might be emerging stars in China, but for Nova Heart, performing at Glastonbury last month was totally uncharted territory. The musical project of frontwoman Helen Feng, Bo Xuan (bass) and Shi Lu a.k.a. Atom (drums), this Beijing-based band already has amassed an international following for their cinematic psych-rock sound.
Songs like "Lackluster No." showcase a haunting blend of electronic beats, ethereal-sounding melodies, and head-bobbing lyrics — the ingredients for the kind of track anyone can mindlessly obsess over. There's plenty more where that came from on their self-titled debut album, which finally drops this fall. But first, get briefed on Nova Heart in their exclusive tour diary and photos here.
The best part of the festival:
Atom: I just got to see so many acts. It's like, "I just discovered this band two days ago, and I get to see them." It's fun to be a band and a fan here.
The coolest discoveries:
Helen Feng: Glastonbury has layers, and all the stuff you discover by accident that makes it great. It's really got an Alice in Wonderland vibe, and it's really cool to be part of its surreality. There's the stuff that everyone goes to, but it's the stuff off the map that makes it fun. If we get a chance to play again, we want to develop a super weird show. . . go full Twin Peaks on Glasto! I can understand why people go every year for 20 years.
Bo Xuan:Yeah, you just get the feeling that there's mainstream stuff here, but the most interesting stuff is not commercial. It's people teaching you how to cut wood, or watching a band from around the world. It's just so much stuff you can't wrap your brain around it. So diverse, yet so British.

Tributes paid to 'fiercely proud' nurse
Joselito Habab
A "fiercely proud" nurse who died after contracting coronavirus had been working to keep his colleagues safe.
Joselito Habab, known as Jo, died at Whiston Hospital on Wednesday with his wife Michelle, an A and E nurse, by his side, a spokesman for Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said.
The father-of-one, originally from Manila in the Philippines, joined the trust almost 18 years ago.
He worked as a staff nurse in trauma and orthopaedics until 2011 when he became a clinical nurse educator and was awarded employee of the month, the hospital spokesman said.
A statement on the hospital's website said: "Jo was recently promoted to orthopaedic trauma nurse co-ordinator but before becoming ill, Jo was back in a key clinical education and training role keeping others safe by doing PPE training and fit testing for face masks.
"He was an exemplary nurse and role model and fiercely proud of being both a nurse and a member of the WHH family.
"He will be very sadly missed by all who knew and worked with him."
A GoFundMe page set up in his memory described Mr Habab as a "true NHS hero".
It said: "Jo was a fantastic colleague, always ready to help with a smile on his face.
"He worked hard and never left a task unfinished."
Mr Habab's 16-year-old son Dylan and his wife joined staff at Warrington Hospital for a minute's silence on Friday.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — AT&T is offering up to a $250,000 reward for information leading to convictions for fiber vandalism in Alameda County that has disrupted internet service.
KNTV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1KmPAyb) the FBI announced in July that a dozen incidents had occurred in northern California over the past year.
AT&T spokesman Jim Greer says the most recent incident occurred Monday night in Livermore and service was restored by Wednesday morning.
The utility provider announced its reward Wednesday for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible.

They never loose their point because new angles are being created as you draw. These earthy colors are made using 25% bees wax and 75% fruit plant and vegetable extracts.


One characteristic that marked the church in the New Testament was their "together[ness]." On the day of Pentecost, when the Spirit descended in power, they were "together in one place" (Acts 2:1). When they were praying for the Spirit to come in power in the previous chapter, they prayed "together, with the women" (Acts 1:14). When the masses came to believe the Gospel for the first time following Peter's sermon in Acts 2, they assembled themselves in a specific way and were together "having all things in common" (Acts 2:44), "daily attending the temple courts together and breaking bread in their homes" (Acts 2:46). Even further, the church seems to place a particular emphasis on ministry "together" as we see the early church praying for a blanket of "boldness" to cover their covenant community (Acts 4:29).
We are not being generous if we say that prioritizing time together in community was easy and natural for them. Gospel-centered community, historically and now, is something that we must fight for on a daily basis. These early believers were no different from us in that they had to juggle being a faithful husband or wife while working a 40+ hour work week and, at the same time, trying to be faithful to the church. But they did it. And they did it joyfully. This doesn't seem to be the case for us as our story and fight for community with one another is often times filled with frustration from issues such as the wife struggling to get a meal done with enough time to make it to community group, while the husband deals with leading his family and being faithful to his job . While we fight for time to give to the church, we can feel overwhelmed and as if the day is not long enough. What did the early church have that was so different from our practical experience? How were they able to thrive in community with one another?
The easy answer is grace. And we are correct in making this assessment. There is no doubt that the Spirit was moving in a way that was very particular to the time. But, on a practical level, we can look at this period of the church, in its exponential growth and gospel centered maturation, and see that there are practical steps in cultivating the fruit of community in our church today just like the early church.
First off, the early church had a holistic and majestic vision of the Gospel and its implications for life and holiness. Having the Spirit as a guide, the three-thousand believers in Acts 2 were captivated by a renewed vision of God, something that they had never experienced. Though encouraged, true, love-saturated community was not forced, but was felt on a heart level. The captivating vision of Jesus was the motivation for communal love. Their love for Jesus prioritized and created a culture of care and love for one another. This cannot be stressed enough. Jesus is our motivation and only grounds for cultivating true and authentic Gospel relationships. When we can so clearly see that there is an undeniable tie between our love for God and our love for our neighbor, then we will examine our schedule with the intentions of creating space to be with one another. Have you experienced this type of Gospel grandeur in your heart? Sacrificial love that is evident throughout the New Testament is the fruit of Gospel rootedness.
Gospel-centered community should not be a burden for the Christian. A covenant of works does that. But as we are renewed and the Gospel is effectually believed in and applied, Jesus does something among His bride that is truly supernatural and unexplainable. This is what I hope we can walk in as a community: love and grace towards one another that is truly unexplainable and countercultural. Unless we lay our burden at the feet of Jesus we will be another church that has many programs but no real power. We may manufacture something that is truly commendable, but we won't experience the life-changing power of the Gospel in our community and families.
Secondly, the Christians in the early church understood their involvement in the local church on an organic level. They were instructed in certain practices like daily temple worship, prayer, Bible, but they were empowered by grace to live in true community on a level that the Apostles could not necessarily teach to them. When the Gospel takes hold of our hearts, our understanding of community will grow much larger than the programs that a church offers to its members. Not that regular programming such as men's groups and bible studies are bad, but the true work of the Spirit is in the spontaneity of a Friday night dinner or a Saturday board-game night with brothers and sisters in Christ. The love of Jesus may be displayed more in attending your neighbor's son little league game than in your prayer performance during Wednesday night group.
"When the Gospel takes hold of our hearts, our understanding of community will grow much larger than the programs that a church offers to its members."
Don't misunderstand me when I say these things. God has clearly provided structure to the church and ways that we should function and interact with one another. But this structure is more about creating a forum for relational freedom to flourish (i.e. meals together, gathering for prayer in homes, etc.), opposed to programs being the hard outline of how members interact with one another. These organic practices work to care for the individual believer through the hands and feet of the local church. The local church has always been an agent in which Jesus remains active and alive today.
Let us pray earnestly for this type of missional and organic living to occur in our lives. Let us repent for how we have not believed and seen the new, grace-filled, covenant community that Jesus has placed us in. And, let us see our love for Christ directly reflected in our love for each other.


Jackson Hole Resort is billed as the hardest inbounds skiing in the United States, and the après-ski scene can get just as rowdy as Corbets Couloir. Take the entire Jackson Hole Valley, from Teton Village at the base of the resort to the town of Jackson 12 miles south, and you've got choices ranging from crusty saloons to late-night dance parties to white-tablecloth joints.
This classic bar in Teton Village feels like your slightly drunk, vagabond uncle decided to decorate the barn. It's cavernous and eclectic and a Jackson Hole institution. Pay your respects by ordering a spicy margarita.
This burrito/sandwich shop recently took over an old gas station in Teton Village, offering tasty grab-and-go options from wild boar salami sandwiches to chorizo burritos, all of which are under $8. Go ahead and add a "sloshy," a vodka-based grapefruit frozen drink.
Perched 9,095 feet above sea level with view of the entire valley and offering a prix fixe menu that runs a Benjamin per person (without wine), Couloir is a little formal, but the food is as good as it gets. If that sounds too stuffy, the same chef is opening a new, more family-style restaurant called Piste this winter.
The Pink Garter is actually a trifecta of bars in downtown Jackson. Start at the Rose, an upscale cocktail lounge that offers twists on classics, like the Winter Old Fashioned (rum and sarsaparilla? sure!), to get lubricated before dancing inside the Pink Garter Theatre (Wednesday is vinyl night). Finish downstairs at Pinky G's, which has a full bar (and a shot ski) and the best pizza in town until 2 a.m.


Reflecting on the UK's biggest fear for 2018 at the end of last year, I suggested that this might be the prospect of isolation, and evidence that European allies no longer see post-Brexit Britain as a crucial partner. In the last week, it is starting to look as if this fear may have already become a reality.
The UK has found its relationship with Russia spiralling into crisis in the wake of an attack in Salisbury last week, apparently authorised by the Kremlin, on a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, also affecting a police officer who went to their aid. The use of a military grade nerve agent was referred to by Theresa May in the House of Commons on Wednesday as "an unlawful use of force by the Russian State on the United Kingdom".
After a wobbly start this week - which saw Secretary of State Rex Tillerson lose his job the day after he called out Russia's actions in Salisbury - the US has come out in support of the UK , with Nicky Haley, the US ambassador at the UN, saying on Tuesday that the US believed Russia was responsible for the attack. So the 'special relationship' across the Atlantic, on which the Brexiteers in May's government have leaned so heavily in justifying why a 'Global Britain in a bilateral age' will be alright outside the EU, seems to be intact for now.
But EU partners have been slower to come out in support of the UK. As the deadline for explanations that Theresa May had set for the Kremlin expired on Tuesday night, and news spread of the UK's decision to expel 23 Russian diplomats in reaction, the new German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas called Russia's lack of explanations disappointing, and said that he completely understood why the UK had felt that it needed to react to the situation. His boss has so far not pronounced publicly on the matter, although Downing Street has been at pains to stress that Chancellor Merkel expressed her support in a call between the two premiers on 13th March.
French foreign minister Yves Le Drian promised 'co-ordination at the highest level' with the UK as the situation unfolded, on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday, President Macron also promised that the French would be taking measures in response to the Russian actions in the coming days. At this point, EU Council President Donald Tusk also took action, of an EU nature, and promised that the issue would be looked at on the already packed agenda of the EU Council Summit next week.
Particularly since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Russia has been a partner that has exposed splits within, as well as between national EU governments, between those who emphasise the importance of dialogue and those who advocate a more hawkish approach to its power play. Still, it is noteworthy that it has taken more than a week for other governments to publicly acknowledge that the UK has a point in reacting strongly to what happened in Salisbury.
It is hard to imagine a UK government five years ago, perhaps even three, not having coordinated its public statements step by step with European partners. In this instance, Theresa May appears to have spent a lonely few days experiencing her first taste of what Great Britain's choice to go it bilaterally , rather than multilaterally within the EU, promises to feel like.
Ultimately, since we have ended up with the UK receiving support from its key partners in a UK-French-German – US statement on the matter, perhaps it doesn't so much matter in this instance. But the bigger picture of a UK having to operate unliaterally, slightly separately from the security relationships that protect it, does matter, a lot. Is it too much of a stretch to imagine that part of the calculation in Moscow in carrying out this attack now, and in the UK rather than elsewhere in the EU, was to test the strength of these alliances, and particularly the mutual trust in the relationships between London and Berlin, London and Paris, in this tense time as the Brexit discussions gather speed?
Taking that thought just a step further, isn't there a risk that disappointment within the UK political elite that it took maybe 48 hours too long for its EU partners to publicly come to its defence in such a serious attack, will make them further question the utility of showing the necessary goodwill in the other direction to secure a continued close co-operation on security and defence post Brexit, resulting in serious loss for both the EU27 and the UK?
As the 28 EU leaders head to the summit table next week, they would do well to reflect on the implications of events this week, not only for the discussion on the UK-Russia crisis itself but also for the agreement of the negotiating guidelines for the EU-UK future relationship. If there could be one silver lining of the dark cloud that has hung over Salisbury this week, it might be to serve as a timely, real life, reminder of how much is at stake for the UK in deciding future security co-operation arrangements with other EU governments.


With the generous support of our patrons, UCF has been able to provide school book, school bags, and other school supplies to poor and needy children, who are unable to purchase these required items on their own, for the past 15 years. These children mainly come from the areas of Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Neboda, Ibbagamuwa, and Moratuwa.
Mrs. Jessica and her team from the US were with the UCFSL from 22nd to 30th of January 2017. Among various projects of UCFSL they were engaged in during their stay in Sri Lanka, the team also distributed various school supplies to needy children in Dambulla, Neboda, Ibbagamuwa, Polonnaruwa, Madowita in Welimada and Moratuwa fishing community.
During the visit of Pas. Martin and his mission team from Switzerland, they participated in the distribution of school supplies to the needy children in Polonnaruwa, Badureliya, Pusellawa and Boralanda.

Here comes cold and flu season; are they FMLA serious health conditions?
Mario was feeling just plain awful. Since everyone else in his family had a nasty bout of the flu, he figured he was getting it, too. He was also hoping it wasn't COVID. In any case, he knew that a day at home under the blankets would do him good, so he called into work. The next day, he felt just as bad and called in again. The third day, which was a Thursday, he was no better, so he called in yet again. On Friday he went to the doctor, who told him he had the flu and to drink plenty of fluids. By Monday, he was feeling much better, and he went to work.
How would you handle Mario's absence? Would you suspect that it could be protected by the FMLA?
He was absent for more than three days, so his leave met part of the FMLA's definition of a serious health condition. He did not have an overnight stay, so you would not need to worry about that.
You know that, for purposes of the FMLA, a serious health condition can include a period of incapacity of more than three, consecutive, full calendar days, and any subsequent treatment that also involves -
Treatment two or more times within 30 days of the first day of incapacity by a health care provider, or
Treatment at least once, resulting in a regimen of continuing treatment.
You also know that a serious health condition can involve other situations like pregnancy or chronic conditions, but those don't apply to Mario's situation. You figure it won't hurt to ask Mario a question or two, such as whether he received treatment that would put his condition under the FMLA's definition.
Mario did experience a period of incapacity of more than three days, and he tells you that, although he did receive treatment at least once, it did not result in a regimen of continuing treatment. Therefore, his particular situation would not qualify for FMLA protections.
Let's say, however, that, over the weekend, Mario's condition worsened, and his wife took him to the immediate care clinic. There he was treated again, and was told to try an over-the-counter medication.
In that situation, Mario received treatment twice, so his condition would meet the FMLA's definition of a serious health condition.
One of the challenges in administering FMLA leave during cold and flu season is trying to stay on top of when a usually mild condition worsens into a serious one, thereby qualifying an employee to the FMLA's protections.
One way to help get a handle on this is to train your managers and supervisors on how the FMLA defines a serious health condition. That way, they can be on the lookout for employees who are incapacitated for more than three days, and let you know.

Maybe someone has some insight on why this is happening and a possible workaround. In my use case I use several progress bars and none are displayed if I include the flow diagram.
I just get ERROR: plot.new has not been called yet when I run your example.
I'm pretty sure this is a conflict/bug with how networkD3 enables tooltips with multiple lines in sankeyNetwork().

Oren Alexander, left, and Tal Alexander, right.
A New York townhouse is in contract to be sold to the nation of Qatar for $100 million, which, when completed, would make it the most expensive townhouse ever sold in the city.
We caught up with Tal Alexander, half of the 20-something sibling duo who represented Qatar in the sale, to find out how the record deal went down.
The story dates back to last year's United Nations Week, in late October, when representatives from Qatar reached out to Alexander, 27, and his brother Oren, 26, of Douglas Elliman's Alexander Team. Despite their age, the pair had made waves for the sale of the most expensive mansion in Miami, and had a number of other big-time deals under their belts.
Qatar had actively been searching for a location for their New York consulate for at least a year by the time they reached out to the Alexanders.
"I think they understood from day one that we were able to show them things they hadn't seen before," Tal Alexander told Business Insider. "We worked for our reputation of being able to make things happen. We have relationships with all the top brokers and focused on showing them off-the-market properties. They had been working with other brokers and they'd seen everything on the market, basically."
While identifying a suitable building for a consulate was a new experience, Alexander said he was used to dealing with similarly demanding clients.
Qatar had some particular requirements for a consulate building: The nations' Consul General Ahmed Yousef Al-Rumaihi sought a property that had substantial width — hard to come by in a city of slim townhouses — and a good set-up for security. Alexander reached out to the Corcoran Group's Carrie Chiang, who he had worked with in the past.
The 20,500 square-foot Wildenstein Building just sold to the state of Qatar for $100 million.
As Chiang explained to The Real Deal, "I contacted my long-term clients, the Wildenstein family, to explore any possible interest in selling their mansion although the property was not on the market ... After reviewing the buyer's request, my client agreed to the sale and the deal was consummated very quickly."
The five-story Wildenstein Building, formerly an art gallery at 19 E. 64th St., has a steel frame and reinforced floors built to accommodate the weight of vaults. It is ready for the consulate to open this spring, shortly after the deal is expected to close in April.
"They jumped on it," Alexander said, "We got them to the right product in the right timing."
The sale will result in a loss of nearly $400,000 in annual taxes to New York City because foreign governments don't pay real estate taxes, the Olshan Luxury Market Report noted this week. Nonetheless, closing the record deal represented months of work for the Alexanders.
"It was very exciting, from the showings to being able to get the deal done," Alexander said. "Opportunities to work with a client like that, to find this type of property, don't come about every day in our business."
Tal and Oren will visit Doha, the capital of Qatar, later this month.
"I'm sure now that we've secured this property for the state of Qatar, if any other consulates are in the market, I think they can consider us," Alexander said "Going through every single townhouse on the Upper East Side, our knowledge of that market is excellent, and if any other parties are interested in this, we have opportunities to present."

4. Introduction Chickens are Omnivores An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. Meaning that, in addition to a commercial feed, they can eat meat (grubs, worms, the occasional mouse) and vegetation (grass, weeds and other plants).
6. Digestion Digestion is completed by the action of various enzymes secreted by different organs and accessory gland of the digestive system.
9. Organs and Functions The Mouth Mouth: It all starts here. A small bit of saliva and digestive enzymes are added as the food moves from the mouth into the esophagus.
10. Organs and Functions The Mouth Mouth (beak) is made up of: 1. Upper mandible – attached with skull – non-movable part of beak 2. Lower mandible – It is the movable part of beak  The chicken does not have teeth to chew its feed.
11. Cont. …  The roof of mouth is made up of hard palate that is divided by a long narrow slit in the center that is opened to the nasal passage.  The soft palate is absent in chicken.
12. Cont. …  The slit in the hard palate and the absence of soft palate make it impossible for the birds to create a vacuum to draw the water or feed into the mouth  Thus birds have to scoop up the water when drinking, elevates its head, and then let the water run down the gullet by the action of gravity.
15. Organs and Functions The Esophagus Esophagus: Transports food from the mouth to the stomach.
16. Organs and Functions The Esophagus Description Esophagus is a tube like structure that extends from mouth to Proventriculus. Functions 1. It helps carry feed from mouth towards Proventriculus. 2. Secrets mucous for lubrication.
18. Cont. … Description  Crop is the extension of esophagus located in the neck region.  Cropectomy has no effect on growth rate of ad-libitum fed chickens.
20. Organs and Functions Proventriculus Stomach: Principally the organ where food is broken into smaller units. It has two parts: 1. Proventriculus For storage 2. Gizzard Is a muscular part of the stomach that uses grit to grind grains and fiber into smaller particles. Digestive enzymes are added to the mix and physical grinding of the food occurs.
21. Cont. … Description  Also called glandular stomach or true stomach.  It is a specialized enlargement of the gullet just before entry into the gizzard.
22. Cont. … Functions:  Production of gastric juice; – Gastric juice is made up of the proenzyme known as pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid, both are produced by oxyntico-peptic cells. – Gastric juice produced in response to protein content in diet. – Acid secretion of chickens is high relative to mammals. – Amylolysis occurs in the crop, it is not evident in the ventriculus.
24. Cont. … Functions 1. It performs powerful muscular contraction, which ultimately leads to crushing and grinding of feed particles. 2. This process is aided by the presence of grit or rocks present in the gizzard. 3. The gizzard performs 2-5 contractions per minute according to the consistency of the feed particle!!!!!!!
25. Organs and Functions Small Intestine Small Intestine:  Aids in digestion and nutrient absorption.  Composed of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
27. Organs and Functions Small Intestine - Duodenum Description Duodenum makes the loop known as duodenal loop which contain the pancreas.
28. Cont. … Function  Digestion of carbohydrates, protein, and fat take place in the small intestine with the help of intestinal juice, pancreatic juice, and secretion of liver known as bile.
31. Cont. …  Meckel's Diverticulum is a constant feature about half way along the small intestine and appears as a small projection on the outer surface of the small intestine.  This projection is where the yolk sac was attached during the development of the embryo.
32. Organs and Functions Small Intestine - Intestinal Juice Intestinal juice contains variety of enzymes such as: 1. Amylase, carbohydrates digestion. 2. Invertase, carbohydrates digestion. 3. Trypsin, proteins digestion.
33. Organs and Functions Small Intestine - Pancreatic Juice Similarly, pancreatic juice contain variety of enzymes that do take part in digestion of carbohydrates, protein and fat.
34. Organs and Functions Small Intestine - Bile  The bile produced from the liver is responsible for emulsification of fat which is then digested by variety enzymes.
35. Organs and Functions Small Intestine - Absorption  After completion of digestion, the end product of carbohydrate (glucose), protein (amino acid), fats (fatty acid) are absorbed by the finger like projections of small intestine known as villi.  The amino acid, fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed into the lymphatic vessels  These end products are ultimately reach the liver via portal vein.
37. Cont. … Description  These are two blind pouches located between the small intestine and large intestine having a length of 1.5 cm.  The ceca empty their contents two or three times a day.  They produce pasty droppings that often smell worse than regular droppings and often mustard to dark brown in color.  The frequency of cecal droppings, as well as their appearance among regular droppings, tells you the chicken's digestive tract is functionally normally.
38. Cont. … Function The function of Caeca is not clear. 1. It is thought that it takes part in digestion of carbohydrate, proteins, and crude fiber with the help of bacterial action. 2. Re-absorption of water takes place in the ceca. 3. Fermentation of coarse materials and production of the eight B vitamins (Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folic acid and vitamin B12) also occur in the ceca.  Because the ceca are located near the end of the digestive tract there is minimal absorption of any nutrients released.
39. Organs and Functions Large Intestine Large Intestine: Functions primarily to absorb water, dry out indigestible foods and eliminate waste products. absorbs water and dries out indigestible foods.
40. Cont. … Description  Large intestine is much shorter when compared to small intestine and caecum  The length of large intestine is 10 cm.  The diameter is twice the diameter of small intestine.  It extends from small intestine to cloaca. Function  It helps to maintain water balance by water absorption.
41. Organs and Functions Cloaca and Vent Cloaca: Where the digestive, urinary and reproductive systems meet. Vent: The external opening of the cloaca that passes waste to the outside.
42. Cont. … Description  It is the bulbous/enlarged area located at the end of large intestine  It is also known as common sewer because it receives the openings from digestive system, reproductive system and urinary system  External opening of the cloaca is known as vent and its size is variable depending upon the productivity of the birds.
45. Accessory Digestive Glands Salivary Glands  It is responsible for production of saliva.  Its secretions ranges from 7 to 30 ml per day.
46. Cont. … The salivary glands are: 1. Maxillary – in the roof of the mouth. 2. Palatine – on either side of the nasal opening in the roof of the mouth. 3. Apheno-pteryoid glands – in the roof of the pharynx on each side of the common opening for the eustachian tubes. 4. Anterior sub-mandible glands – in the angle formed by the union of the upper and lower beaks or mandibles. 5. Posterior sub-mandibular glands. 6. Lingual glands – in the tongue. 7. Crico-arytenoid glands – around the glottis. 8. A small gland in the angle of the mouth.
47. Cont. … The saliva has following functions: 1. Lubrication of the feed. 2. Digestion, it contains salivary amylase which is responsible for carbohydrates digestion. 3. Acts as a buffer, it contains bicarbonate and other salts. 4. Helps tasting the feed. 5. Protects the mucous membrane and keeps it moist. 6. Helps regulate the body temperature. 7. Contain enzyme known as muramidase which is bacteriocidal in nature and thus it produces the local immunity.

61. Cont. …  Feed enters the Proventriculus and the walls are stretched This stimulate the release of Gastrin hormone which stimulates secretion of gastric juice.  Feed enters small intestine Duodenum produces secretin hormone which stimulate the pancreas to produce pancreatic juice.
62. Cont. …  Fats in the duodenum Duodenum produces cholecystokinin hormone which stimulates gall bladder to release bile.
66. Cont. … Satiety Center  It is located in the liver of the chicken, while in other animals it is located in the brain.  This center is also known as glucostatiey Centre.  Level of glucose in the blood activates and stimulates the satiety center leading to cessation of feed in take.
67. Cont. … Appetite Center  The stimulation of this Centre results in feed intake or hunger.  This centre is stimulated by low concentration of glucose in the blood. This is located in the brain.


Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven.
The human spirit is so great a thing that no man can express it; could we rightly comprehend the mind of man nothing would be impossible to us upon the earth.

James Everett (1784–1872) was an English Methodist and miscellaneous writer. He was a prominent figure behind the formation of the United Methodist Free Churches.

Life
Everett was born in 1784 at Alnwick in Northumberland. He was the second son of John Everett and his wife, Margaret Bowmaker. Everett's father died when he was young, and the boy soon learned to help his mother. After a short time at a private school in Alnwick, he was apprenticed to a general dealer, where he was given to fun and practical jokes. In 1803 he underwent a great change, joined the Wesleyan society, and began to preach.

He refused an offer made in 1804 to send him to Hoxton Academy to prepare for the ministry among the independents. At the end of his apprenticeship in 1804 he went to Sunderland, and there showed such preaching power that in December 1806 he was recommended for the regular ministry among the Wesleyan Methodists, and was duly accepted by the conference of the following year. His first circuits were Sunderland, Shields, and Belper in Derbyshire. He obtained a good knowledge of practical theology, and a wide acquaintance with general literature.

In August 1810 he married Elizabeth Hutchinson of Sunderland.

Recollections
At an early period he formed the habit of taking careful notes of the celebrated characters whom he met, and thus preserved recollections of Robert Southey, poet laureate, James Montgomery, William Dawson, and many others. In 1815 he was appointed to the Manchester circuit. On account of a serious throat infection in 1821, Everett gave up the regular ministry and became a bookseller, first in Sheffield, afterwards in Manchester. He had been collecting materials for the history of Methodism in those towns, part of which he published. He was the intimate friend and became the biographer of Dr. Adam Clarke. Everett preached occasional and special sermons while in business, and extended his popularity. In 1834 he resumed full ministerial work at Newcastle upon Tyne, and thence moved to York in 1839. Through failure of health he was again made a supernumerary minister in 1842, but remained in York, and employed his pen more actively than ever.

Expulsion
The foremost event in Everett's life was his expulsion from the Wesleyan Methodist Conference in August 1849. For many years he had been opposed to its policy and working and published anonymously several volumes of free criticism, such as The Disputants in 1835, arguing against the scheme to start a theological college for the training of ministers. He wrote much of Wesleyan Takings, two volumes of disparaging sketches of the preachers. In 1845 and following years certain clandestine pamphlets called "Fly Sheets" were circulated widely, bearing neither printer's nor publisher's names. These contained serious charges against the leading men of the conference, reflecting on their public actions and their personal characters.

A general suspicion attributed these pamphlets to Everett. He was brought before the conference and questioned about them, but declined to give any answer. After further inquiry and discussion he was formally expelled.

Free Church
Everett then took the lead in agitation against the conference, which shook the entire Wesleyan community and resulted in the loss of over 200,000 members and adherents. Some of the seceders, the Methodist Reformers, joined others who had previously left the "old body" and formed a new body, the United Methodist Free Churches. This was in 1857, and Everett was elected its first president when it met at Rochdale in July of that year.

To the end of his life Everett remained a minister of this community, filling their pulpits as health and opportunity permitted. He lived for some years in Newcastle and finally in Sunderland. He wrote many articles for magazines and printed a few poems. In July 1865 his wife died, leaving no children. Everett had formed a large collection of Methodist literature, both printed and in manuscript. These he disposed of to the Rev. Luke Tyerman, biographer of Wesley. His library was bought after his death for the theological institute of the United Methodist Free Churches. He died at Sunderland on 10 May 1872.
