PCGS SP67RD 1933-H Sarawak Rajah Charles Vyner Brooke 1/2 Cent - Ex.King's Norton Mint Collection to Richard Kueh Collection
Brand : PCGS
SARAWAK. 1/2 Cent, 1933-H. Heaton Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-67 Red Gold Shield. KM-20; Prid-61. It is unimaginable to consider a more wondrous specimen; quite unsurprisingly, PCGS has in fact seen none finer, with just four other examples equaling the majestic quality here. Fully radiant and entirely original. Provenance: Ex: Kings Norton Mint Collection.
Vyner, Rajah of Sarawak, GCMG, full name Charles Vyner de Windt Brooke, (26 September 1874 – 9 May 1963) was the third and last White Rajah of the Raj of Sarawak.
The son of Charles Brooke and his wife Margaret de Windt (Ranee Margaret of Sarawak), Vyner was born in London and spent his youth there, being educated at Clevedon, Winchester College, and Magdalene College, Cambridge. He then entered the Sarawak public service.
Vyner served as aide-de-camp to his father 1897–1898, district officer of Simanggang 1898–1901, Resident of Mukah and Oya, 1902–1903, Resident of the Third Division 1903–1904, President of the Law Courts 1904–1911, Vice-President of the Supreme and General Councils 1904–1911.
In his military career, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant into the 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) on 12 May 1911, but resigned from the (County of London) Battalion (Artist's Rifles) on 21 May 1913. During the First World War he served incognito as a rating in a naval anti-aircraft defence unit, and as a fitter in an aeroplane manufacturing works at Shoreditch, East London.
He was granted the personal style of His Highness by command of King George V, 22 June 1911. It was in the United Kingdom he met and married The Hon. Sylvia Brett, daughter of Lord Esher, on 21 February 1911. They returned to Sarawak.
Following the death of his father, Vyner succeeded on 17 May and was proclaimed Rajah on 24 May 1917 at Kuching. He took the oath before the Council Negri on 22 July 1918. Vyner's early years as Rajah (a role he performed in tandem with his younger brother, Bertram, in accord with their father's wish) saw a boom in the Sarawak rubber and oil industries and the subsequent rise in the Sarawak economy allowed him to modernise the country's institutions, including the public service, and introduce a penal code developed on British India lines in 1924.
Granted a knighthood in 1927, Vyner continued to run a hands-off and relatively popular administration that banned Christian missionaries and fostered indigenous traditions (to an extent; headhunting was outlawed). Sarawak, however, was not immune to Japanese imperial ambition, which manifested itself in Sarawak on 25 December 1941. In that same year, he withdrew £200,000 from the Treasury for his personal expenses, in exchange for limiting his powers by a new constitution. Vyner and his family were visiting Sydney, where he would remain for the duration of the war.
The Daily Telegraph described him as "a cloud-living Old Wykehamist, ... one of the few monarchs left in the world who could still say l'Etat, c'est moi." Similarly, his Who's Who entry read thus: "Has led several expeditions into the far interior of the country to punish headhunters; understands the management of natives; rules over a population of 500,000 souls and a country" 40,000 square miles (100,000 km2) in extent.
Vyner returned to Sarawak on 15 April 1946 and temporarily resumed power as Rajah, until 1 July 1946 when he ceded Sarawak to the British government as a crown colony, thus ending White Rajah rule in Sarawak. Vyner died in London at No. 13, Albion Street, Bayswater, W2 on 9 May 1963,[1] four months before Sarawak as well as Malaya, North Borneo and Singapore joined together to form the Federation of Malaysia in 16 September 1963.
His nephew, Anthony Brooke, served in various departments in the civil service including the Land and Registry Office, and as a magistrate. Since 1937 he had also been Rajah Muda (crown prince) of Sarawak, because Vyner had three daughters but no son. Anthony opposed cession to Britain, as did a majority of the native members of the Council Negri (Parliament), and they campaigned against it for five years.
The anti-cession movement came to a head in 1948 when the second British governor to Sarawak, Duncan Stewart, was assassinated by a young nationalist named Rosli Dhobi in Sibu. Suspicion fell on Anthony for orchestrating the killing but declassified documents from the British National Archive later showed that he had no connection to the plot. In 1951, Anthony finally renounced his claim to Sarawak's throne and lived out the later part of his life in New Zealand where he died at the age of 98 on 2 March 2011.
Vyner, his father, his brother Bertram, the Tuan Muda, and Rajah James, are buried in St Leonard's Church in the village of Sheepstor on Dartmoor.
He was survived by three daughters, whose names could be preceded by the Malay honorific of Dayang (Lady):
Leonora Margaret, Countess of Inchcape, wife of the Second Earl of Inchcape (one son, Lord Tanlaw, and one daughter) and, subsequently after his death, of US Colonel Francis Parker Tompkins (one son).
Elizabeth, a RADA-educated singer and actress, wife of firstly Harry Roy (one son and one daughter), and secondly, Richard Vidmer until her death.
Nancy Valerie, an actress, known for The Charge of the Light Brigade, wife of firstly, Robert Gregory, an American wrestler; secondly, José Pepi Cabarro – a Spanish businessman; thirdly, Andrew Aitken Macnair (one son, Stewart, born 1952); and fourthly, Memery Whyatt. She died in Florida.
Sarawak (/səˈrɑːwɒk/; Malay: [saˈrawaʔ]) is a Borneo state within Malaysia. The largest among the 13 states, with an area almost equal to that of Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak is located in northwest Borneo Island, and is bordered by the Malaysian state of Sabah to the northeast, Kalimantan (the Indonesian portion of Borneo) to the south, and Brunei in the north. The capital city, Kuching, is the largest city in Sarawak, the economic centre of the state, and the seat of the Sarawak state government. Other cities and towns in Sarawak include Miri, Sibu, and Bintulu. As of the 2021 census, the population of Sarawak was estimated more than 3,248,100. Sarawak has an equatorial climate with tropical rainforests and abundant animal and plant species. It has several prominent cave systems at Gunung Mulu National Park. Rajang River is the longest river in Malaysia; Bakun Dam, one of the largest dams in Southeast Asia, is located on one of its tributaries, the Balui River. Mount Murud is the highest point in Sarawak.
The earliest known human settlement in Sarawak at the Niah Caves dates back 40,000 years. A series of Chinese ceramics dated from the 8th to 13th century AD was uncovered at the archaeological site of Santubong. The coastal regions of Sarawak came under the influence of the Bruneian Empire in the 16th century. In 1839, James Brooke, a British explorer, arrived in Sarawak. He, and his descendants, governed the state from 1841 to 1946. During World War II, it was occupied by the Japanese for three years. After the war, the last White Rajah, Charles Vyner Brooke, ceded Sarawak to Britain, and in 1946 it became a British Crown Colony. On 22 July 1963, Sarawak was granted self-government by the British and subsequently became one of the founding members of Malaysia, established on 16 September 1963. However, the federation was opposed by Indonesia, leading to a three-year confrontation. The creation of Malaysia also prompted a communist insurgency that lasted until 1990.
Vyner, Rajah of Sarawak, full name Charles Vyner de Windt Brooke, (26 September 1874 – 9 May 1963) was the third and last White Rajah of the Raj of Sarawak.

Q: iOS Objective-C XCode: Logging Breakpoints and "magic" variables I am trying to use breakpoints for logging instead of NSLog, but I am having trouble accessing the "magic" compiler variables like __FUNCTION__, __FILE__, etc.
Neither Debugger Command nor Log Message breakpoints seem to evaluate the variables in the same way as NSLog.
NSLog(@"%s", __FILE__) results in correct debug output of /Users/nbirkholz/Documents/project_name/folder_name/file_name.m
When I set a Debugger Command breakpoint of po __FILE__ I receive debug output of "Parse" { 'P' 'a' 'r' 's' 'e' <nil>}
When I use p __FILE__ I receive debug output of (const char [6]) $1 = "Parse"
Similar results ensue from p/po __func__/__PRETTY_FUNCTION__/__FUNCTION__/__LINE__
po [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file is: %s", __FILE__] results in
error: too many arguments to method call, expected 1, have 2
po (void)NSLog(@"the file is: %s", __FILE__) returns <timestamp> <module> the file is: Parse
expr/expression (void)NSLog(@"the file is: %s", __FILE__) gives the same results.
Similarly, adding a Log Message breakpoint either fails to evaluate the expression at all or produces similar results, I can't seem to find an expression syntax that works encased in @ @
For example a Log Message of the file is @__FILE__@ begets the file is "Parse"
Is there a way to get this to work without adding an NSLog() to the code directly and get it to properly evaluate the variable?

A: These "Magic variables" are actually macros whose value is derived during compilation at the point they are referenced. They will not have the same value at debug time as they have at compile time. In fact, at debug time, you are most likely getting the variable's value as compiled into the debugger. I.E., not the file name of that code from MySpecialProgram, but the file name of the code executing in the debugger, likely the command parser.
Either put the logging in the code, as in:
NSLog(@"this is %s line %d function %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__);

or assign the vars to something you can access:
char[] foo = __FILE__;

A: I'm not sure here but afaik these are preprocessor macros, I think you can't get these to work in runtime.

The Fyre Fest Guy Who Once Nearly Sucked D For Evian Is Now An Evian Spokesperson
What a world.
Text by Alexandra Weiss
Probably the only good thing to come out of the heaping trash fire that was #FyreFest is IRL meme and national treasure, Andy King. While working for Fyre Festival CEO and Founder Billy MacFarland, the event producer was so desperate to get the festival off the ground, that he almost sucked a dick — his words, and at McFarland's request — to have boxes of Evian water released from customs. Now that's dedication.
Because of this, King emerged as the star of Netflix's 2019 documentary, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened — in which the above revelation was recounted, despite King begging producers to cut the scene — and instantly became a viral meme, with people sharing various images of his mortified face retelling the story. My personal favorite was a Photoshopped job application in which a question read, "how would you describe your work ethic?" and underneath, the answers ranged from "poor" to a photo of Mr. Andy King. And then there were the fake Evian ads…
Well, as it turns out, the joke's on all of us, because King is now an actual spokesperson for Evian. Earlier this week, the unlikely internet star shared a photo of himself holding a bottle with a caption that read, "Who's thirsty?"
Who's thirsty!? 💦 On the one year anniversary of my doc debut, @evianwater is releasing a special bottle with a new slogan… all in honor of my infamous team spirit 😂😂 Follow me & tag a friend in a comment below before tomorrow (Sat 11:59PM ET) for a chance to win one of these 10 custom bottles 💦 #evianpartner . . . . . NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, for a chance to win just tag a friend. Winners will be selected randomly and will be contacted via Instagram direct message on 1/22/2020. (Open to U.S. residents only, 18 years old or more at the time of the event.)
A post shared by Andy King (@realandyking) on Jan 17, 2020 at 6:03am PST
"On the one year anniversary of my doc debut, @evianwater is releasing a special bottle with a new slogan," he continued, "all in honor of my infamous team spirit."
The slogan, of course, is "so good you'd do anything for it."
Sometimes, there really is beauty in the world… and this proves it.

After teasing it earlier this week, Attila have dropped now their new song 'Callout Pt.2'.
And it appears as though no-one can escape from Fronz and the gang.
Here is a list of everyone who gets called out in the song's 2:04 running time.
The band revealed earlier this week that they are now fully independent.
"This is something really exciting. It's been a long time in the making.
Basically every single member of Attila is extremely entrepreneurial and business savvy. We don't need a label. we don't need any interference with our music or the way we choose to release it. We can do everything on our own. We have plenty of connections in this industry to make this happen.
So this is an exciting new chapter for us and I think it's going to be very beneficial to the fans. We can do anything we want. We could record a song right now, release it tonight. There's really no limits, no boundaries."

Runaways singer Cherie Currie shares new single from first LP in decades, sang w/ Danzig in LA (stream, video, updated dates)
by Andrew Sacher
Danzig & Cherie Currie in LA - 8/30/13
Former Runaways singer Cherie Currie has been talking for a few years now about releasing the followup to her only solo album, 1978's Beauty's Only Skin Deep (not including the 1980 collaboration with her sister Marie, Messin' with the Boys or the 1988 Young and Wild compilation), and though a release date still hasn't been announced, we are now one step closer. "Mr. X", the first single from the new album, which you've maybe heard on the radio, is making its online premiere in this post. Listen below.
Like her former bandmate Joan Jett's new album, "Mr. X" is pretty much exactly the kind of catchy hard rock you'd expect from a Runaways member, and to get that in 2013 is not a bad thing at all. And if Cherie's anthemic choruses aren't enough, the song's also got a rippin' guitar solo from Slash, plus his Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver bandmates Duff McKagan (bass) and Matt Sorum (drums) are on it too. Matt also produced the record, which also features guest appearances from Billy Corgan and Juliette Lewis.
As discussed, Cherie has also been touring this year. The next leg starts in NYC on November 6 at Gramercy Theatre with MIss Guy (who we recently quoted in a sad post about Codie Ravioli). Tickets for that show are still available. Updated dates, which include other NYC-area shows, are listed below.
Cherie's tour hit LA back in August, where she teamed up with Danzig for one of the dates on his ongoing 25th anniversary tour (Doyle included). The show was one of the last-ever shows at the historic Gibson Ampitheatre, which closed its doors in September. (He also inadvertently played one of the final Roseland Ballroom shows earlier this month in NYC.) Being that it was the final Danzig show at the venue, he "wanted to add someone special," so he had Cherie come out to join him on a cover of the Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra duet "Some Velvet Morning." That cover was also recorded and may or may not appear on Danzig's upcoming covers album. Back in April, he told Loudwire:
My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it and they're just going to go "Oh I like the original better." I wanted to make it my own and take it in a different direction, maybe a different direction they didn't really think of at the time or would never think of because I have a much different background than they do.
There's a ton of other cool covers on there, I did a lot of covers people wouldn't think I would do like 'Biker' soundtrack theme song that I made crazy, there's a Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra cover on there and I had Cherie Currie come down and sing the Nancy Sinatra part.
She's really cool and has a great voice and it was just awesome and I wanted to keep that cool, older, '70s vibe because the Misfits came on the tail end of the '70s and I wanted to keep that vibe. The managers and lots of other people suggested the new alternative girls and I was like, "That's not what I want and here's who I'm thinking of" and they were like "What?" and it's fantastic, she did such a great job.
So stay tuned for more info on that. Meanwhile, watch a video of Danzig and Cherie doing "Some Velvet Morning" at the LA show and listen to the studio version, below.
In other news, Cherie Currie recently recorded a Christmas single with former Runaway Lita Ford (coming soon) and recorded a cover of T. Rex's "Life's A Gas" with Shameless (out now).
Updated tour dates are listed, along with the "Mr. X" stream and the Danzig video, below...

This document contains a living list of some best practices to secure SSH keys with the help of Venafi Trust Protection Platform.
Cryptographic Properties Always use industry recommendations for key length and algorithms used. NIST recommends at least 2048 bit key length for RSA/DSA algorithms (note that DSA 2048 keys are not supported in some servers).
Ensure that Key size and Algorithm settings in TPP accord to your company standards and are at least as strong as industry standards.
If weak keys are found (Key Smaller than Required, Noncompliant Algorithm violations), rotate corresponding keysets so that all keys are compliant to standards.
SSH Dashboard and reports can be used to monitor existence of weak keys in inventory.
SSHv1 protocol SSHv1 protocol is vulnerable and should not be used except old devices that do not support newer version of protocol (in such case, plan to replace those devices with newer ones should be established). SSHv1 should be disabled on all devices and all keys used by this protocol removed.
Keep Allow SSH1 setting in TPP to No (default setting). Review all keys marked with Vulnerable Protocol, and remove them or create a replacement keyset with keys supported by SSHv2.
SSH Dashboard and reports can be used to monitor existence of RSA1 keys in inventory.
Orphan Keys Orphan keys are authorized (less frequently, private) keys without corresponding counterpart. Those keys are potential backdoors to SSH systems.
Review all orphan keys, starting with root orphan keys.
Remove all keys unless they exist for valid reason - in that case add external key to suppress warning in TPP and add indication of existing private key outside of TPP database.
SSH Dashboard and reports can be used to monitor orphan keys.
Root Access Review your system to see if root SSH access needed for any systems. Minimize amount of systems with root SSH access enabled.
If systems needing root SSH access are encountered, place them in separate policy(ies) with Allow Root Access set to Yes. Disallow root access for all other SSH devices.
SSH Dashboard and reports can be used to monitor existence of authorized root keys.
Rotation Rotate your keys regularly. The best practice is to rotate all user keys every 90 days. Turn on automatic rotation for SSH policy (rotate keys every 90 days).
Authorized Key Restictions Protect authorized keys from non-authorized usage or source. Where possible, add SSH forced command and whitelist of client IP addresses to connect from.
Ensure that Source Restrictions (preferrable, "Allow" ones) and forced command are set on SSH policy where possible.
Use Edit key options functionality to set source restrictions and forced command on keys that are missing those.
SSH Dashboard and reports can be used to see keys having noncompliant source restrictions or forced command.
Authorized Keys Storage Store your authorized keys centrally, in root-owned directories and files, to prevent users from adding and changing keys.
Define central location and set additional custom search path in Aperture where %u represents user name, for example "/etc/ssh_keys/%u". Note that top-level directory (/etc/ssh_keys) will not be created by TPP, it needs to be created externally.
Set "Public Key Permissions" policy setting to root-owned. Keys will then be created in files owned by root, thus unmodifiable by users.
TPP Rest API (WebSDK) can be used to automatically migrate keys from user home directories to central location.
Agentless Credential Use sudo credential for scanning devices with Venafi TPP. Add sudo restrictions to the user.
When creating credential for agentless connection, ensure Use Sudo is set to yes.
On remote device, edit /etc/sudoers file to add restrictions for sudo user to only use certain commands. You can see full list of commands used by TPP here.
Key Usage Logging Monitor how SSH keys are being used. For all suspicious activity, investigate whether access is authorized.
Enable key usage collection in TPP: create Key Usage work object for an agent group.
It is recommended to have agent installed on central syslog machine and have that agent send logs from all SSH servers to TPP.
Information on how to configure central syslog to send key usage information to agent is available here.
SSH Dashboard and reports can be used to see anomalies in key usage.
Keep SSH server and client software up to date.
Establish periodic (e.g. quaterly) review of SSH entitlements in your orhanization.
Create Custom Report(s) for SSH keyset data with desired characteristics that runs on periodic basis.
Configure the report to be send to reviewers for further processing.

"Lisa is passionate about her work and she is reliable. Her excellent work on curriculum has inspired teachers to make teaching and learning activities more inclusive and culturally diverse. In spite of an uncertain political environment, she was determined to meet the objectives of her visit to Nepal. Her workshop was so effective that many participant teachers were inspired to learn the importance of incorporating concepts of mind, body, emotions, and intuition into their daily lessons. The teachers were not only from Prajwal School but also from remote vicinity of Chaughada.

"Lisa's presentation was a very thorough, research based workshop that included many hands on, interactive activities that helped reiterate the theoretical aspects of her presentation. I especially enjoyed mapping our first experience. I think it was powerful for myself and the other educators that Lisa reminded us to include the social, emotional and cultural aspects of literacy in our teaching to make the students' learning experience more meaningful. I feel the teachers at our school greatly benefited from her workshop. "

With the recent rash of terror attacks, more than a handful of International Educators are reconsidering their decision to teach overseas. France, Belgium, Indonesia, United States, Turkey, Tunisia and other formerly "safe spots" have now taken a place on the "proceed with caution" list.
The possibility of finding yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time is about as likely as winning the lottery. Still, any increased exposure to the possibility of terror is enough to keep some of us home. In a previous ISR Survey, 360 of the 698 International Educator respondents said the attacks on France and Brussels were not deterrents, and they would continue to live their lives as always while taking the normal precautions one would in any city at home or abroad.
ISR asks: Has the most recent barrage of terror attacks caused you to reassess International Teaching as a career? Take our short Survey and see what International Educators have to say on this topic.
Would You Still Teach in Western Europe?
The world as we knew it just a few years ago has drastically changed. Locations once considered tourist destinations and desirable haunts for expats now top the list of places to avoid. That is, if you value your safety.
In light of the tragic attacks that recently took place in Paris and Brussels, ISR asks: Would you accept a teaching position in this area of the world if it was offered? For educators currently teaching in Western Europe: Will the threat of continued terrorism deter you from renewing your contract when it expires?
The staff at ISR concur that there are locations in the world where we once felt far safer teaching and living than if we had been in our home cities of the West. We agree we would be hard-pressed to return to some of these once tranquil areas of the world due to the current and ever-present threat of terrorism, war and/or political revolution.

text: IBM study reveals the System z10 provides a cheaper, easier-to-manage cloud solution BY SCOTT A. BAIN Editor's Note: This article is based in part on an internal study, conducted by Scott A. Bain, Fehmina Merchant, Innes Read and John J Thomas. T o d a y 's e c onom y r e q u i r e s a n agile business model, yet many compa n ies a re st r ugg li ng w it h an increasingly costly and rigid IT infrastructure due to high maintenance, n e t wo r k , o p e r a t i o n a l a n d m a n a ge m e n t expenses. As a result, line-of-business units are beginning to go outside the data center to public cloud providers like Amazon hoping to lower costs and improve responsiveness. To a v o i d d i s i n t e r m e d i a t i o n , I T m u s t re-invent the data center and move toward a more Dynamic Infrastructure*—one that uses v i r t ua l i zat ion a nd con sol idat ion to he lp improve utilization levels and reduce power consumption, and one that embraces a private cloud model to dynamically provision IT services in minutes or hours, rather than months. In this article, I'll examine the total cost of ownership (TCO) for a Dynamic Infrastructure built around private cloud services, comparing it to public cloud a lter nat ives, as well as SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER conventional one-application-per-distributedserver models. The results show private cloud implementations built around larger, virtualized, x86 and System z* servers can be up to 75 percent less expensive than public cloud options over a five-year period and around 80 percent less than a distributed stand-alone-server approach. The Results recent inter nal st udy of I BM's nearly 4,000 distributed servers showed annual operational costs attributed to each server was more than $34,000, with almost 90 percent due to sof t ware maintenance and systems administration. It stands to reason that reducing the number of physical servers to fewer, larger and more capable machines can greatly reduce these costs. The virtues of virtualization and consolidation to accomplish this have been well publicized. What has proven to be more elusive, however, is the quantification of these benefits. How many workloads can be consolidated onto a given platform while maintaining acceptable service-level agreements (SLAs)?

Set between Cubas twenty years apart, Havana native Teresa Dovalpage's new murder mystery explores lingering grudges between old friends and lovers separated by Castro's final sanctioned raft exodus.
Juan, a Cuban construction worker who has settled in Albuquerque, returns to Havana for the first time since fleeing Cuba by raft twenty years ago. He is traveling with his American wife, Sharon, and hopes to reconnect with Victor, his best friend from college—and, unbeknownst to Sharon, he also hopes to discover what has become of two ex-girlfriends, Elsa and Rosita.
Juan is surprised to learn that Victor has become Victoria and runs a popular drag show at the local hot spot Café Arabia. Elsa has married a wealthy foreigner, and Rosita, still single, works at the Havana cemetery. When one of these women turns up dead, it will cost Padrino, a Santería priest and former detective on the Havana police force, more than he expects to untangle the group's lies and hunt down the killer.
Praise for Queen of Bones
"A surprising journey . . . The intricate plot and the descriptions of today's Cuban culture and society make this novel an entertaining and illuminating read."
"Dovalpage wields her considerable authorial skill in this intricately plotted tale of jealousy, revenge, and the dark side of love."
—Isabella Maldonado, award–winning author of the Veranda Cruz mysteries
"Queen of Bones is a fast-paced, richly layered tour de force. The twists, turns, and santería rituals that abound in this complex noir will please crime readers and armchair travelers alike. Bravo, Teresa Dovalpage! Encore!"
—Lucha Corpi, author of the Gloria Damasco mysteries
"A lesser-known Cuba, with the kind of details that make it a home rather than a holiday, so an ocean breeze can carry a tinge of exhaust fumes. And it's a suspense-filled Cuba, in which a door closing can sound like a gun shot . . . If you're keen to explore Havana, heap a spoonful of Teresa Dovalpage's storytelling onto your plate, and dig in!"
—Chicago Review of Books
"A vivid portrait of Cuba's capital."
—Mystery Scene Magazine
"Cuban-born New Mexico resident Dovalpage adeptly draws on her heritage, intertwining her native country's tumultuous history with the contemporary experiences of the Cuban diaspora. While the collision of past and present produces fatal results, the ensuing labyrinthine journey provides readers with plenty of compelling diversions along the way."
—Shelf Awareness
"A story that blends intricate legwork in the name of investigating with a meditation on the meaning of family, nation, and home."
—Crime Reads
"[An] enticing second Havana mystery . . . Dovalpage skillfully evokes the lights and shadows of life in Cuba . . . Vibrant supporting characters such as Padrino, a Santería priest, and Lt. Marlene Martínez, a police detective, lend color. This moving tale of love, loss, greed, and betrayal will also appeal to non-mystery readers."
«Cuba shines here, as Havana native Dovalpage contrasts its politics and society over a generation, making this a good bet for armchair travelers as well as mystery buffs.»
"A truly atmospheric mystery that delves deep into the theme of homecoming and all the secrets we think we leave behind. The novel's greatest strength lies in Dovalpage's excellent portrayal of an island nation that has retained its unique cultural identity even as it adapts to the times, and its parallel to protagonist Juan Chiong's own personal development . . . a rich exploration of Cuban life through the lens of a murder mystery."
"Deftly unfolding details within the action, she reveals Cuba and its people as rich with fascination and depth . . . Dovalpage's writing hints at the possibility that she will be to Cuba what Donna Leon has become for Venice."
—New York Journal of Books

LV= County Championship 2012
LV COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP 2012 REVIEW
As in 2011 the campaign got off to a flying start with a decisive victory, Worcestershire being beaten at home by 92 runs, even though the Notts batting failed in the first innings of the game – in fact in seven out of the ten matches where Notts batted first, the team's total was less than 200. The difficulty of achieving a decent opening partnership, a point laboured in the past, seems to be a national malaise. In 2012 not a single century first wicket stand was realized AGAINST Notts. At least Hales and Wessels conquered that bogey (Notts didn't achieve such a stand in 2011), they hit 171 together at Hove and later 168 versus Durham at Trent Bridge. The latter was the first such partnership by Notts at Trent Bridge since the balmy days of Bicknell and Gallian.
After the initial win, Notts travelled to Chester-le-Street, where they defeated Durham by 114 runs. Two rain-affected games followed, against Somerset at home and Worcester at New Road. In the latter match Notts were in a strong position before rain washed out the whole of the last day. A third victory came at the beginning of May, when Lancashire were easily overcome at Old Trafford. The home game against Middlesex was drawn, again rain interfered with play, but Notts achieved a fourth success at Hove, where the aforementioned first wicket partnership set the team off on a high note. On May 28 therefore Nottinghamshire were leading the table, though second placed Warwickshire had a game in hand. Notts had 101 points, Warwickshire 100. It was therefore frustrating when almost the whole of both second and third days of Notts 8thmatch, v Lancashire at Trent Bridge, were rained away; then Notts bowled out Middlesex at Uxbridge for a measly 98 (Adams 6-32), but a second innings century by Strauss prevented a Notts win.
However Warwickshire couldn't avoid the rain so that with nine matches played, Warwickshire led Notts by a single point. A fortnight later, Andre Adams broke down – he was at this point the leading First Division bowler in England. It was a seminal moment, though not realized at the time. Indeed supporters were eagerly checking their fixture cards and noting that the final match of the summer was at Trent Bridge against, by coincidence, Warwickshire. The Championship might well be decided, as it had in 2010, on the last day of the season.
It was not to be. Adams effectively did not play again. The team had lost its crucial ingredient. Whilst Warwickshire forged ahead and took the Championship title with a match to spare, Notts failed to claim another victory and sank to fifth place – true one higher than in 2011, but in view of the first half of the year, disappointing.
As it happened the final fixture against Warwickshire turned out to be a fascinating contest, with Nottinghamshire coming very close to victory in the final overs of the fourth day, but of course, Warwickshire had only pride for which to play.
Looking at the Notts batting, the instant memory is of Chris Read scurrying to the crease to save the team from ignominy. It comes as a bit of a surprise to discover it's the first time Read has topped the Notts batting averages, because he seems to have been doing a de Crespigny for the past decade. Read was also the only player to complete 1,000 first-class runs. The fact that he scored between 50 and 99 twice as many times as any other batsman in 2012 is testimony to his reliability.
At the start of the season, Notts opened with Hales and Edwards. In their first 12 opening partnerships the pair only really came off once. Edwards then gave way to Wessels, who had batted in the middle order, though he had missed several games through injury. He immediately flourished as an opener and Hales' form rather fell away, before reviving in the later matches. Lumb, the newcomer from Hampshire, was given the first wicket down berth and was so successful that he regained a place in England's One Day team. James Taylor, the other major debutant, found runs harder to score in the First Division, but also gained an England cap. Samit Patel seemed to be affected by his striving for a place in the England line-up, having made his Test debut during the winter, as well as being regularly picked for England's One Day squad. He missed seven matches and for Notts was not as successful as he had been in 2011. Notts overseas player, Adam Voges was disappointing in Championship matches and had a much poorer season than in the past. Gurney, from Leicestershire, appeared in ten matches, almost outdoing Afford's efforts of 1990 on the batting front.
If the Championship team missed Adams in the final part of the summer, it also missed Pattinson, whose bowling was confined to One Day matches He had suffered a back injury playing for Victoria and was not fit for county cricket until the end of May. Ben Phillips who had supposedly been recruited in 2011 for One Day matches played in 14 first-class matches – more than at any time since 2006 and bowled more overs than anyone else, despite being the oldest member of the playing staff. The two younger seam bowlers, Fletcher and Carter both had good spells, whilst Franks proved more useful as a batsman. Mullaney, whose bowling was employed in most One Day games, only sent down 16 overs and generally batted at no.5, before Read. Two young academy players, Wood and Kelsall, had one Championship match each. Kelsall opened the batting in the absence of Hales, in the final match, scoring a useful 35 in the second innings, whilst all-rounder Wood, helped Read turn the score v Surrey from a depressing 83-5 to 206-6, as well as taking three wickets in Surrey's second innings. Nothing was seen of Elstone in first-class matches and he was released at the season's close, which on the face of it was rather harsh. Two other players to be released were Edwards and Turner, the latter only played in Second XI matches in 2012.

Who Offers the Best Rates for Business Electricity?
If you own a business and you have bothered to look at some of the business electricity suppliers out there for your power needs, you have probably seen that they all have different rates. There isn't a standard rate for business electricity, which means that each supplier can essentially charge what they like for the service.
There are probably more choices out there than you realise, and there may be dozens of suppliers providing business electricity in your area. So, how do you sort through all of them and find out who has the best rates? There is a much simpler way than going from one supplier to the next and asking for quotes. If you have asked for individual quotes from suppliers before, then you probably know that they like to give you the run-around. They want a lot of information from you, and even then they may not give you a straightforward answer.
Instead of all that inconvenience and hassle, though, you can save yourself a lot of time and energy by using business electricity prices comparison sites. Just about every industry where there is competition has price comparison sites to help sort through the competitors, and it is no exception for business electricity. You will find a number of price comparing sites ready and willing to help you sort through your choices to find the best business rates for electricity.
The various broker sites make the process easy, fantastic advisers like Energy Advice Line. They tend to ask for a few details about your business and use that information as a springboard for finding you some quotes. It is important that they get that initial information, though, because the rates change depending on where you live and what size your business is. You might not have known that, but smaller businesses tend to pay lower rates than large businesses. If you live close to the electricity supplier, you also pay less than those who live far away. So, it is important that you give the comparison sites accurate information with which to search for you. That way, they can give you the most relevant results.
You should be able to get results back in a matter of moments. The site will likely give you somewhere from 3-5 rates to look at. That's not everybody out there who is offering business electricity in your area, and you can perform another search with the business electricity supply comparison site or use another comparison site to get a wider selection of quotes to compare. The bigger the range of quotes and suppliers is, the more accurate your information will be and the better you will be able to choose the lowest possible rate.
Once you have found a supplier you are happy with and rates that you are okay signing a contract for, you can still use the comparing sites. They can help you to find even better business rates for electricity. You should always look for opportunities to save money, and using comparison sites is the best way to do that for your business electricity needs. It's a good idea to look at updating your contract and rates at least once a year. That shouldn't prove to create too much hassle for you, and it can help you keep your bottom line safe from unnecessary expenses.
You may even want to think about renegotiating with your supplier if you are happy with the service they have provided. Still, knowing what other rates are out there can help put your own supplier and rate into perspective for you and inform you as to whether you are still getting a good deal or not.
There is never a time when you should feel that your current contract and rates are the best ones available. You can use several different comparison sites to find out what the true best deals are and then use that information to gauge where you stand with your current contract.
You have an opportunity, thanks to the comparison sites, to save money again and again. You don't have to be locked into a contract you are not completely happy with or pay rates that you don't think you can easily afford. There are better deals out there available for you to enjoy, but you do need to use comparison of business electricity websites to find them and keep using these sites to ensure continued best rates for your business.

Home Scandal and Gossip South Dakota woman who stomped on 5 yr old boy to death...
South Dakota woman who stomped on 5 yr old boy to death gets 22 yrs
Julia Lee Carter South Dakota woman sentenced 22y years jail for stomping 5 year old boy to death.
Julia Lee Carter South Dakota woman sentenced 22 years jail for stomping 5 year old boy, Mateo Tuberquia to death.
Julia Lee Carter Mitchell South Dakota woman who stomped on 5 year old boy to death sentenced to 22 years jail. Light sentence result of prosecutor deal which determined woman was psychologically impaired during fatal assault.
You have the right to hate me.' These are the words a 22 year old South Dakota woman uttered to the court during her sentencing after repeatedly stomping on her friend's 5 year old son and killing him.
Julia Lee Carter, 22, was sentenced to 22 years with 18 years suspended in the stomping death of Mateo Tuberquia in 2020 the Mitchell Republic reported.
Appearing at the Davison County Public Safety Center on Tuesday, Carter addressed the victim's family and apologized for her actions.
'I'd like to say to the family and friends of Mateo, and Mateo, that I am sorry. That word means nothing to you, I know,' she reportedly said, speaking directly to the family. 'As a mother, if I was going through what you were going through, I'd feel the same way. You have that right to hate me. I am truly sorry, and nothing I can do can bring him back.'
Officers with the Mitchell Police Dept on June 22, 2020 at approximately 8 a.m. responded to a 911 call from someone who said she was on her way to a hospital emergency room with an unresponsive 5-year-old boy, police previously stated. Doctors attempted advanced life-saving measures but the boy succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead at the hospital.
Julia Lee Carter South Dakota woman sentenced 22 years jail for stomping 5 year old boy to death.
December clinical assessment made
A subsequent autopsy determined that Mateo died 'as a result of significant blunt force trauma to the abdomen and the death was ruled a homicide.'
Carter had been living with Mateo and his family at the time of the homicide, and during police questioning admitted to 'kicking' the 5-year-old approximately five times and 'stomping on his abdomen' at least once.
At the time of her arrest, the then 20 year old was charged with first-degree manslaughter and cruelty to a minor. She was later charged with second-degree murder as well.
According to the report, the seemingly light sentence was the result of a deal Carter's attorney, Chris Nipe, reached with Davison County State's Attorney Jim Miskimins after a psychologist in December testified for Carter on her behalf, the Mitchell Republic reported.
Dr. Brooke Laufer reportedly examined Carter and told the court that she diagnosed her with bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders. She reportedly explained that Carter was 'impaired' when she attacked the boy and was 'not aware of right and wrong until after [the attack] happened.' She also noted that Carter 'did not mean' to cause Mateo's death.
Carter then pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree manslaughter as a mentally ill individual. While fist-degree manslaughter in South Dakota typically carries an automatic life sentence, presiding Judge Giles accepted the prosecution's recommendation of 40 years with 18 years suspended.
Addressing the court on Tuesday, Miskimins said the deal required concessions from both parties but he ultimately believed it was fair under the unusual circumstance.
'This has not been a day that any of us have looked forward to. Mateo is gone. Nothing that can be said or done here today changes that fact,' Miskimins reportedly said. 'It pains me to be here under these circumstances. The agreed-upon disposition here is a significant sacrifice on the part of the state and the family of Mateo and other victims in this matter, as well as the defendant.'
'His favorite superhero was Spiderman…'
The nature of Carter's relationship to the 5-year-old and what may have prompted the attack wasn't clear.
An online obituary for Mateo called the late youngster 'a loving boy.'
It continued: 'He enjoyed going for walks and playing at parks. Mateo loved fishing with his father, loved being with his sisters and dancing, and watching Scooby-Doo and Pokémon.
'His favorite superhero was Spiderman, and he enjoyed playing Spiderman on his father's PS4. Mateo was his sisters' guardian, and will continue to be their guardian.'


Looking for a unique dining experience? Discover more about the iconic Sydney restaurant from Head Chef Brian Geraghty.
Berowra Waters Inn is a fine dining destination set in stunning native bushland on the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney. Its remote location perched on the river's edge means it can only be accessed by a short trip on a private boat, ferry or seaplane.
Under the guidance of Head chef and owner Brian Geraghty, the menu is degustation only (4 or 7 courses) so guests can graze their way through a selection of delicious dishes as they gaze out at the changing river scenery.
Built in 1926, the Berowra Waters Inn was redesigned by renowned Australian architect Glenn Murcutt in the 1970s. While the cost and location mean it's limited to special occasions, it is heralded by those who are lucky enough to visit to be a truly unique and exceptional foodie experience. And worth every cent.
1. What inspired you to become a chef?
The creative side of cooking, also my brother in law who gave me my first job in the industry as kitchen hand at Riverside Brooklyn not far from where I am now.
2. What are your earliest memories about cooking growing up?
That my mother was not the best cook, yet for anything family related (Christmas/Birthdays) her whole attitude to food changed and she turned it on. She also had an annual ritual, Christmas pudding cooked on boxing day for the next year!
3. What's the most enjoyable thing about your life at Berowra Waters Inn?
The stunning location, being out of the city gives me and most people a feeling of "getting away from it all" and of course the joy we see when people leave after having experienced a memorable and delicious dining experience .
4. What's your most memorable experience to date?
Forgetting to order gas for the first service, there is no gas line in Berowra… so we had to jump in the dingy and pay $180 for a quick local refill.
5. What's a challenge at Berowra Waters Inn?
The never ending attacks from wild life on the rubbish bins. I used to think fluffy Australian wildlife were cute but not any more.
6. Who are your biggest influences/role models?
Shane Osborn, at pied a terre in London, I worked with him for many years which has defined the way I cook now, Also, Brett Graham at The Ledbury, a fellow central coast chef who moved to London and got himself two Michelin stars!
7. What are some of your picks of Australian top produce.
Tasmanian ox short rib, the best cut of beef in my opinion . W.A truffles and Tasmanian ocean trout, such a quality product and so sustainable.
8. Where do you see yourself in five years time?
9. What's your favourite meal to prepare for family and friends?
A simple fresh pasta dish.
10. Have you had any disasters in the kitchen?
Too many to recall, I once covered myself head to toe in duck fat in the cool room of Quay, and almost paralyzed Peter Gilmore in the mess of it!
11. If I wasn't a chef I would be?
A builder, for the creative aspect.
12. What is your signature dish at Berowra Waters Inn?
Confit of ocean trout, eucalyptus smoked milk, ginger dashi consommé, wild rice.


At 104 years of age, George Beverly Shea was known as "America's Gospel Singer," even though he was born in Canada, and sang in innumerable foreign countries as part of the Billy Graham team, in addition, of course, to singing in every state in the union. At his memorial service Shea was referred to as the "Gentle Giant," a fitting moniker given his humble demeanor and self-defacing humor. Shea, along with Cliff Barrows, made up the principles of the Billy Graham evangelistic team. His rich baritone stylings were a hallmark of every evangelistic service. Even in latter years as new artists were included in the crusade programs, crowds waited with anticipation to hear the signature songs, The Love of God, The Wonder of It All, How Great Thou Art, or perhaps his best known musical offering that he scored at age 23, music for the poem by Mrs. Rhea Miller, I'd Rather Have Jesus.
Author, teacher, Reggie Kidd reminds us, "For two millennia, Christians have sung their theology – from catacombs to dorm rooms, and from cathedrals to football stadiums. Every distinctive shape the faith takes finds its own musical voice." (With One Voice: Discovering Christ's Song in Our Worship) No doubt the faith has been shaped through the years of the American church of the frontier, and the subsequent revivalist movement of which the Graham team provides the apex. I would go as far as to say that most churches in my own Baptist faith tradition have patterned worship liturgy, at least as much, and many of them more, after the Graham crusades' programs than by historic patterns of church practice. Given this influence, we must pause to consider more resolutely not only the form of the crusade team, but as we say, "farewell" to this dear saint, George Beverly Shea, we must consider the consistent message and substance of the song(s) he sang. It was GOSPEL – not in style, but in content. It presented life-change, either by testimony, I'd Rather Have Jesus, or by biblical story, Ninety and Nine, or by a kind of spirit of abandonment to worship and wonder, The Love of God, The Wonder of It All, and How Great Thou Art.
For many years, and some to this day, pastors – preachers – evangelists, looked for a Gospel-singer/soloist to serve as their own George Beverly Shea (combined with Cliff Barrows) as their right hand to flank them in weekly worship in attempts to re-create the crusade atmosphere in their own church. Though there are multiple issues to be addressed in this ethos that deserve prayerful reflection, still this worship has served to shape much of where we find ourselves today. For many in my own denomination when you say "Traditional worship," it is this ambiance that comes to mind. George Beverly Shea's influence in this arena is paramount. His signature voice, literally and figuratively, will remain with us in many ways even as he joins the mighty chorus of Heaven. One cannot help but wonder if he will compare notes with other preacher – songster teams like John Calvin and Louis Bourgeois, John and Charles Wesley, Dwight Moody and Ira Sankey, or Billy Sunday and Homer Rhodeheaver.
The passing of Buryl Red and now George Beverly Shea is fresh reminder for all who share in ministry through music that we have opportunity to give voice to faith, witness, and worship through song. While it is extremely rare for individuals to propagate the volume and depth of influence that has grown from the lives of these two men through their profound giftedness, talent, skills, and opportunity, it is, nevertheless, critical that each of us recommit ourselves to see the Christlike characteristics that they demonstrated, and to imitate those. I will likely never write a Celebrate Life musical, or even an In Remembrance of Me song. I can, however, seek to serve with the kind of humble spirit and treat persons with the kind of gentle caring that characterized Buryl Red. My voice will no longer croon the baritone strains with the kind of richness and attractive potency that defined the solo voice of George Beverly Shea. I can, however, offer my body including every utterred sound as a "living sacrifice as spiritual worship," prayerful that God will be glorified, and trusting His Spirit to turn little into much for His Kingdom.
You and I are also leaving our signature upon the worship life and language of those with whom we live and serve. Let us be faithful in making melody with thankful hearts for His glory.
I have engaged in a few Buryl stories myself, and given that I will join a tribute concert in New York that will include our Centurymen, I feel certain there will be many more days of reminscent tellings. There are so many things I feel I gleaned from Buryl over 26+ years of singing with the Centurymen under his direction, and also spending rare opportunities to visit in New York, or see him in Nashville. In the meantime I wanted to at least post partial text from a presentation of the 2004 W. Hines Sims award to Buryl that I had the distinct privilege to prepare thanks to then Southern Baptist Church Music Conference President, Joe Fitzpatrick.
The individual who receives this award tonight is someone who has demonstrated dramatically what it means to color outside the lines, or to work outside the box, if I may use those clichés. Within the church music world this individual has served up numerous published and recorded offerings. Several works are considered landmarks in the church music genre, containing a timely and relevant style, yet seeming to have a timeless quality about their ability to communicate gospel.
The individual who would be worthy of the W. Hines Sims award would need to be someone who had pioneered to new territory applying the power of music to applicable medium of the day….something that would likely be out of the pervue of the average church musician, yet well within the grasp of the craft and concept of the missional visionary. To earn the respect and even admiration by those within the professional musician and recording world this person would have to possess impeccable credentials, obvious superior talent, and a genuine transparency.
The recipient of the Sims award would be expected to have an impact outside the church itself. The use of giftedness to influence and serve educational development, the entertainment community, and broadcast media helps to elevate awareness and respectability for the whole Christian enterprise.
This year's recipient personifies vision without calling attention to himself, or for that matter without calling attention to the vision itself. Humble in spirit, yet commanding an adherence to a standard of excellence that often exceeds even the finest musician's understanding.
He is well-known and respected in his adopted home of New York City, where he has worked with the very best in the fields of recording, music education, and composition. He has also worked with stars of stage and screen. Yet, the relationships he seems to cherish the most are with young, developing talents for whom he seems to take delight in providing opportunity that will unleash their budding talents, or with fellow artists who are of diverse background and ethnicity, particularly African-American for whom he has obvious respect and admiration, and finally for his beloved recording and concertizing phenomenon, The Centurymen. It is the latter that has given me the privilege of relationship with this musical giant.
I can tell you that for a local church music minister, or a state denominational music & worship leader, or an educator to be walking the streets of New York, catching a cab, or traveling the world with this man is a great honor, but also a lesson in proper perspective.
I will never forget my first experience riding in a car with my hero and mentor. We had sung a concert in the church I was serving as Minister of Music. It was a wonderful night. As we traveled in the car I fretted over what to say. After 30 minutes of near total silence other than the hum of the road, he spoke up, "uh……that was great bar-b-q tonight." Bar-b-q? I was traveling with an idol, and we were talking bar-b-q? For the next 30 minutes we tossed back and forth places we had experienced the southern cuisine. We compared beef to pork, Texas to Tennessee to his home state of Arkansas.
Since that time I have come to know him more than what we put in our stomachs, though that is still a subject of which we may speak. I have had opportunity to observe his interaction with professionals, and commoners, and find him to be a Christian gentlemen in the best sense. I have had the privilege of introducing him to my family, and seen him take interest in them. I have been introduced to his family, and have heard his quiet affirmation and sense of pride of their accomplishments. Perhaps best of all, I have experienced the witness and nuance of his marvelous music. I discover much about him there, for his quiet and sometimes shy manner is not to be found in the profound musical expression. There are surprises at every turn. In making that music together with my fellow Centurymen over the last 17 years of my participation I have found God frequently and often.
Some of us speak our music to the Church, and call for the saints to proclaim His praise in worship. This man has also found ways of utilizing the intrinsic mysterious beauty of music itself to speak to the soul of Christians and non-Christians without deserting the essence of both subject and form. God has granted me the privilege of knowing him, and making music with him. Because of that my life has been made richer, and so has the musical expression and experience of Baptists and church musicians everywhere.
BE PATIENT – EASTER WORSHIP LINGERS ON!
FLASH! WOOSH! BAM! Those words are more fitting to a Superman or Batman cartoon than they are to the impact of the Resurrection of Jesus. Our modern artistic pallet seems to be rooted in the dramatic that does not "take too long." I found myself both amused and disturbed by some critics' review of the recent movie rendition of Les Miserables, due to the fact that it took 157 minutes. Guess that is too long to wait for redemption. Wow! No wonder we do not have the patience to read the Bible through, or even worse, to cut God slack either because He seemed in history to go long periods of time without miraculous revelation, or because He said Jesus was coming back and here we are ….still waiting.
One of our biggest problems in present day evangelical Christendom is our impatience. Seems to me we experience (and foster) this impatience in our dis-ease with taking any time to linger in story, to mine its depths, unveil its art. To the contrary, we have bastardized beauty, sought utility as highest virtue, and given in to the average videogame attention span, as if all worshipers have minds the size of a peanut. What are we saying when we trade Worship Preparation or Prelude with Video Countdown? What is the message yielded when in our worship we chase away any possibility of silence with extended noodling on acoustic guitar or keyboard? If we were actually still, what is it we are afraid we might hear? Could it be that our over-stimulation of worship space and time is actually rooted in our impatience with God? It surely can seem to communicate that message.
Where does this impatience show up for those in worship leadership? For preaching pastors it may be the resistance to prescribed or long-visioned preaching plans. For worship music leaders it can even be reflected in something as mundane as sped-up tempi, or penchant to favor usage of "new" songs in worship. For worship planners, our present inclination to video testimonies in order to control both what is said and the time within which it is delivered, may well be indicators that we are giving in to efficiency over ethos.
Why my appeal for more extended view of worship and worship effect in life transformation, and disciple-formation? Because there is value in the aggregate effect of what the Risen Christ does in our lives and churches through the Holy Spirit over time. In no way does this view diminish the instantaneous expression of God's power through whatever means He deems appropriate. Nor does it in any way belittle the man, woman, parent, or child bowing to accept when "that moment from Jesus a pardon receives." Rather, this appeal is that we might more boldly faith God's work in His time, and help worshipers join in placing ourselves in His time, as opposed to trying to get Him to fit into ours. Perhaps the live art offering in worship will replace the internet connection of my smartphone. Perhaps my true joining of communal song will remind my ears, voice, and heart that there is joy in "making melody with thankfulness in heart," that goes beyond hearing whatever music or song I want.


Celebrity culture is a multibillion-dollar industry in the United States and across the globe. A celebrity can be defined as someone who is famous just for being famous, in other words, someone who is well known for being well-known. Celebrities intentionally brand themselves to differentiate and maintain their fame. Applying marketing theories and branding strategies to celebrity culture reveals how fame, like many products, can move from the functional to the symbolic to the cultural. This exposes how celebrity self-branding can prevent consumers' objectification and commoditization of the celebrity. The case studies of Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Jenna Marbles will explore how celebrities intentionally market themselves to further their fame and influence so that consumers may gain awareness of this as it pertains to their decision-making.


BMW and Mercedes could announce an engine cooperation before Christmas.
According to the German consumer magazine, auto motor und sport, BMW's finance director, Michael Ganal, has indicated that the success of the BMW's cooperation with PSA Peugeot Citroen has given BMW an appetite for further partnerships.
The magazine said that a cooperation with Mercedes could be announced soon, possibly before Christmas.
Ganal said that BMW has not yet decided whether to introduce a fourth brand, alongside the BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands.
He did say that BMW had been giving thought to how it could respond to the trend towards 'mega-cities', and develop new vehicle concepts accordingly.
"It is possible that in the future we would decide not to establish such vehicle concepts under the roof of our existing brands, but that we could develop new brands for this purpose," said Ganal.

Sylvester Stallone is under investigation for alleged sex crimes

Los Angeles County prosecutors are reviewing sexual assault allegations against Sylvester Stallone.
A complaint was made in November but the alleged act dates back to the '90s.
The L.A. County sex crimes task force hasn't given any specific details about the case. However, Stallone's attorney Martin Singer did confirm back in December that a woman filed a police report alleging Stallone raped her 27 years ago. The statue of limitations could complicate the matter.
California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill in 2016 that lifted the previous statute of limitations of 10 years for crimes committed after January 1, 2017–or for crimes in which the statute of limitations hadn't expired by that date. Any crimes committed out of that time frame cannot be prosecuted in California.
Stallone's case joins a slew of others that are being handled by the L.A. County sex crimes task force, which was formed last year in the wake of the immense fallout from the Harvey Weinstein scandal. But even with more survivors coming forward, their cases could easily find a snag with alleged crimes that don't fall within the statute of limitations, e.g. director James Toback who was accused by 395 women of sexual harassment or assault but didn't face any legal repercussions because the cases were too old to prosecute.
