An Introduction to The Houkago Princess Apprentice, Cadet and Youth Programme (Updated on June 29th, 2020)
*As of August 7th, 2016, the day this was posted, Kojima Mayumi, and possibly Nagasawa Marina and Sekine Sasara, were promoted to the Regular Lineup.
*As of May 25th, 2020, this post has finally been updated.
With Houkago Princesses 5th Anniversary happening this very month, as well as the first anniversary of their major debut, I thought it wise to create a small series of posts commemorating this beautiful groups latest accomplishment. Following the Introduction Post for the Regular lineup that makes up Houkago Princess, it is now time to introduce the newest group under the Princess name, HoupriYusu, otherwise known as HouPri Youth. If you would like to know more about this Model Generation, then stay tuned and take some notes!
You can find the Regular Member Profiles HERE, if you have not yet read it!
An integral part to Houkago Princesses system, HouPri Youth was formerly known as the 'Apprentice-Candidate system', and originally acted as a smaller but just as important branch within the main groups system. From 2011 up until 2015, Apprentices and Candidates would perform with members in the back of all performances, typically wear similar costumes - minus a few embellishments and frills - and would even appear in music videos and in songs with the Regular members.
The idea behind the Apprentice to Candidate system was that, in order to prove you were earnest in your plight to becoming an idol, you would do the graft and showcase your skills, or perhaps prove your popularity and capability to the staff members. For some promotion was easy, but for others it could take a year or two to be recognised. Regardless of how long it took, it should be noted that promotion within HouPri's first Indies period was far easier than it is now.
2015 saw a shift in how the trainee system worked for Houkago Princess. With the groups major debut in place, the Apprentice to Candidate system turned into what is now known as HouPri Youth. Introduced on February 18th 2015, Houpriyusu (or, HouPri Youth) became the groups official younger sister unit. Housing Apprentices and Candidates with a desire to become Regular members, HouPri Youth would hold separate performances from the Regular members to improve their skills as singers as dancers, whilst also being given the opportunity to perform as backing dancers and chorus for bigger live shows. There was also the odd opportunity for some Youth members to act as backups for absent Regular members, which would allow any given Youth member to prove their worth.
As it goes, most HouPri Youth members dabble in modelling work of some form, especially bikini gravure.
Since the dynamic changed in early 2015, HouPri Youth members will now have a timeline of a year or more before expecting to be promoted to the Regular lineup. With stricter rules in place and high expectations to match up to, the goal to become a Regular member is a lot farther than it was before. Because of how difficult it is to get to this point, it's common for Youth members to stop their activities at some point, especially if they have been told that they do not meet the standards set by the staff.
As of mid-2019, HouPri Youth is currently a one-idol show. Whether FORZA Records will continue to keep the group going or not is an uncertainty, however the remaining member is working hard alongside her seniors and supporting them as best she can.
In A Nutshell: HouPri Youth has had 3 phases so far. The first being the original Apprentice-Candidate system that had no unique name to define it, the second phase that began in 2015, and the third phase that started with a whole new lineup in 2017. The 3rd phase is slowly pattering out with its remaining member, and it looks unlikely that FORZA Records will continue implementing the Youth system as it currently stands.
With a desire to become Princesses and attain their own tiaras, HouPri Youth are the support that Houkago Princess needs. They may be backing dances and chorus singers, but the hard work and effort they put in will showcase their desire to become the best idols that they can be. So when the clock strikes 4pm, will these girls have a chance to turn into Princesses, or will they turn into Pumpkins instead?
Let's see if they can find the fairy tale ending they have been longing for~

Nina is was my favourite member of HouPri Youth, period. I find her so cute and darling whenever I visit her twitter, that I can't help but love her! Nina is also very refreshing to look at, so whenever I see her post a new picture, I feel as if I'm looking at pure innocence. She's a doll, and she feels fitting for Houkago Princess. She seems to get along really with Marichu, too, as well as the other senior members in the Regular lineup. So far, it feels like she gets along with everyone, and they all like her just as much as she likes others!
I love Nina, and I do want her to debut soon, because this refreshing Idol must not be left behind! Nope nope, no way!
My heart pretty much broke when she left HouPri Youth :) I'm still not over it.

Sato Sumire began her activities as a member of HouPri Youth from June 5th, 2019, and has performed with Houkago Princess, as well as participated in activities alongside Team Sweet. After Team Sweet's activities were put on hold in January 2020, Sumire has mostly been performing with Houkago Princess.
With the graduations of Himekawa Arisa and Mirshita Rina in July of 2019, Sumire was the sole member of HouPri Youth for 9 months.
In May of 2020, it was revealed that Sumire had participated in the jacket shooting for the Type B cover of the Houkago Princess single, Shakunetsu no Mystery Eye / Zesse Cleopatra, alongside former Apprentice member, Yoshinaga Yukino.
On June 28th, FORZA RECORDS announced that they had terminated their contract with Satou Sumire and that had been dismissed from the Youth programme, and had left the company. Reasons for her dismissal were that after much consideration and overseeing her training and how she worked, staff concluded that Sumire was making no improvements, and that this lack of improvement had begun to affect Houkago Princesses activities. Her twitter account and FORZA profile were deleted soon after.
Updated Conclusion
The group that is HouPri Youth has a small bigger history than anticipated, but with every training programme attached to an idol group, losses are to be expected. Sadly, a lot of talented and wonderful girls have been let go due to the high standards set by staff, and whilst I understand the need for a certain type of Idol, I do believe that Houkago Princess will only suffer in the long run if new girls aren't added periodically.
Currently HouPri Youth stands at one member leftover from the systems third phase, and I hope that she is either promoted or more members are added in due time.
Anyway, that is all. I'm tired. I spent all night editing this damn post. Night~
Original End to this post:
And now that these member introductions for both Houkago Princess and HouPri Youth have been completed, please await the next posts where I list 10 of Houkago Princesses songs new and old Fans should listen to, and the HouPri Music Videos that are a Must-See for anyone getting into the group! It's going to be a lot of fun, so sit back and enjoy, and await the HouPri Happiness I will deliver unto you all very soon!
Until next time, please take care, stay happy and healthy, enjoy your life and, of course, LOVE THOSE IDOLS! <3
Much Love and Smiles,

This feature is in the book 'Celebrating The Rag' to be released during festivities, set for Oct. 13-16, honoring Austin's iconic underground newspaper.
Frank Erwin, former chairman of the UT-Austin Board of Regents. Art by Jim Franklin / The Rag / October 28, 1969.
By Alice Embree | The Rag Blog | September 20, 2016
AUSTIN — The following post, is a brief description that accompanies Jim Franklin's cover art for the October 28, 1969 issue of The Rag. It will be included in a book, Celebrating The Rag: Austin's Iconic Underground Newspaper, scheduled for release in October 2016. The book will be available at the upcoming Rag Reunion and Public Celebration of Austin's historic underground newspaper, The Rag, that published from 1966-1977.
Celebrating The Rag includes more than 100 articles from the original Rag, accompanied by art and photography, including work by artists Jim Franklin, Gilbert Shelton, Kerry Awn, Trudy Minkoff, and Marie Valleroy and photographers Alan Pogue and Danny Schweers, as well as several contemporary essays reflecting on the history and impact of the paper. This is the third Rag Blog post of material to be published in the Rag book.
The Rag Reunion and Public Celebration, scheduled for October 13-16, 2016, will include exhibits, presentations and discussions, parties, a Gentle Thursday reunion, a concert at Threadgill's restaurant and music venue, a live Rag Radio interview with historian Doug Rossinow, and much more. Learn more about it on our Rag Reunion page.
Jim Franklin's iconic image of a tree growing out of the head of Frank Erwin was on the cover of the October 28, 1969 issue of The Rag. UT's Frank Erwin, Chairman of the Board of Regents, was hell-bent on a massive expansion plan for the UT stadium that bordered the creek. Students, architecture faculty, and environmentalists drew up an alternate plan.
An injunction was filed against the construction plans. The university prevailed in court; the injunction was dissolved. Some 300 protestors massed to stop the bulldozers, many climbing into the trees. On the morning of October 22, 1969, protestors were pulled from the trees and 27 were arrested. Frank Erwin, with a hardhat and bullhorn, presided over the demolition as the bulldozers took down the trees.

Brother Jonah says:
Building anything in the secondary or even tertiary flood plain is well… stupid. That was my first and second reaction. The trees being slaughtered hangs over that too. It's "tree strikes", he's out. Let me guess, the dude had delusions of conservatism. But that would imply actual conservation of something. My God, even Teddy Roosevelt had at least flashes of conservation.
Dude wasn't even conservative with money. In Euless, almost due north of the New Dallas Cowboys stadium, and straight west from their old one, they built some McMansions in the flood plains. For more than two decades the land had stood "vacant" except for wetland grasses and trees and grapevines and those vines with the tiny thorns all over them and deer and not really antelopes playing and so forth. Nobody was buying it, 20 years. If you look just to the southwest of the McMansions there's a confluence of three creeks and two forks of the Trinity. Kind of like the 9th Ward only without even levees. The trees are our levees and they did the job for thousands of years not flooding any settlements, crops and whatever other tokens of wealth one can imagine. They're building their own destruction. (not the trees, they're too smart for that crap) And Euless has on the street signs "Tree City USA".
Cut cat-a-corner of the county line and the confluence of Johnson, Bear, and a couple other creeks and the Trinity, there was an open-air drive-thru zoo called International Wildlife Park (bringing out the beast in you) which had to close because it got flooded too many times and they couldn't get insurance anymore. The animals were in enclosures, sure it was BIG enclosures, but a lot of them had the unfortunate fate of being trapped between Rising Creeks and 14-foot chain link. The Wowboyz were moving their operation because the City of Irving got a bad case of the ass about subsidizing a corporate entertainment franchise who made beaucoup d'argent for themselves having millionaires prance around on the grass about 8 times a year and the stadium being an empty crime magnet the rest of the year. At Taxpayer Expense.
Now it's Arlington's problem. Because the Grand Prairie location had flood issues. Lots of flood issues. So now the Dallas Cowboys, who never played in Dallas city limits, aren't even in Dallas County anymore. The Bush-masters have proposed building a newer Ballpark for the Rangers to play around in it. Like the one that bankrupted Arlington less than 20 years ago. And got together the bread needed for George Junior to launch his political career. My fingers rebel at the act of typing anything less than outright profanity about that.
The point being, killing all the trees just (apparently) for the fun of it winds up costing Them lots of bread. Not just loaves, mind you. Whole bakeries worth of bread. And they pushed themselves into a corner now because the taxpayers ain't going to be able to pony up more bread for Them.
And the corporates don't pay taxes. My brother lives around the corner from the AT&T stadium, hates the 'boyz and the Rangers, and paid 11000 yankee dollars more than General Electric last year. And that's just the feds.
If, and this is a bizarrely unlikely IF, but if they were building water purification plants and maybe homes for the homeless I could almost but not quite understand. 9th Ward, you know.
Just more places for people to watch pampered millionaires prancing around chasing a ball across the grass and hitting each other with their bodies. Not environmental, fiscal nor social "conservation". Tree strikes, they're out.
I mixed the metaphors a lot. Did y'all notice? The one thing that's good about it is that the East Euless McMansions are going to get hit with the flooding. But they'll make sure the owners of the glorified swamp land get (unlike 9th Ward) compensated. Vermin. In an enlightened and advanced society it would be legal to hunt them.
PS the Wildlife Park swampland was the Boyz first choice when Irving kicked their over privileged collective ass out.
I wish your stadium nightmare had been alleviated with a victory over the tree-killers. The remaining trees will outlive the Empire, though.
Alan Locklear says:
My estranged then-wife, Ann Pearson, was one of the people arrested for sitting in the trees. I was there with a sign, but I chose not to tempt Texas law enforcement. A bunch of us, including Architecture students who had the know-how, set up a home-made silk screening rig and made the first decorated T-shirt I ever wore. It featured a brown fist clutching a green branch — looked good on a plain white T-shirt. I wore it till it wore out and then I clipped off the image and saved it.
Steve Russell says:
I too had one of those shirts Alan Locklear describes and I wore it until it disintegrated.
Two things about the action I remember fondly.
One of the arrestees plucked out of the trees was Guy Herman who, like me, would go on to become a Travis County judge.
When we decided to pick up pieces of the trees and march up to the President's office in the Main Building, the look on the faces of some of the cops was priceless as they tried to understand the meaning of our chant:
"Birnam Wood to Dunsinane! Birnam Wood to Dunsinane!"
"Birnam Wood to Dunsinane!"
Philip Russell says:
The Waller Creek Tree Massacre reflects two Texas obsessions—football and cars. The event is usually attributed—correctly—to the stadium expansion. Yet there remained a sizable space between the expanded stadium and the trees. Why then were the trees cut down? To leave space for four lanes of traffic on San Jacinto Street. There wasn't space for the trees and four lanes, so the trees had to go. Ironically not long after the massacre University officials realized it was down right stupid to have a four-lane street running through campus, and so they restricted access to UT permit holders and reduced the street to two lanes. That realization unfortunately was too late for the trees.

These are posts about my textile art. They might include descriptions of projects I am working on, new products I am trying, things I just finished and more.
I have a room-full of beautiful textiles (as you probably know if you've been following my uphill battles to keep them tidy). I like them all (or most of them, anyway), but every now and then I find a piece that is really extra ordinary. Sometimes I know what to make out of it right away. Other times it sits there, waiting, for months or even years.
So there they sat, in one of my piles, waiting patiently. Until I re-tidied my fabric cabinet last week, and re-discovered them once more. This time I had just spent a week sewing totes. When I saw them again I just knew that the only way to show their true beauty would be by making them, too, into totes.
I didn't have the heart to cut them up, though, because that would have cut parts of the story off. So I set out to sew the biggest totes I have ever made.
I found matching linings in solid colors that would not compete with the center-pieces, and made sure to put in many pockets, thinking that whoever needs such big bags could probably use the pockets to organize their things in.
The result are two beautiful totes (in my opinion, at least :-)), but they are really, truly GINORMOUS. 14″ wide x 21″ high x 6″ deep, to be exact.
I love seeing exhibitions of quilts in museums, and enjoy visiting quilt museums. Those usually provide contemplative, intimate experiences, by allowing the visitor to examine quilts up close while surrounded by a peaceful quiet.
Quilt shows, however, are an entirely different beast. Crowded, noisy, brightly-lit and packed-full with amazing works of art and an array of booths, quilt shows are a sensual overload.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the 2018 Pacific International Quilt Festival at the Santa Clara Conventions Center. I came out exhausted and energized at the same time. The show displays a huge array of quilts of many different kinds and techniques, made by people from all over the world. It gives a glimpse of human creativity that is truly inspiring!
I was awed by many quilts at this show, and wish I could shown you all of them. Sadly, I can only share a few here. Choosing which ones was not easy!
Sandi Stone's "The Thread and Nothing but the Thread" was a very different kind of quilt. Hers was made not of patched fabric but .. of quilted thread!
Even the back of this masterpiece was pretty!
Did I give you enough reasons to go? If not, perhaps mentioning the many vendor booths might help: quilt lovers, you can find everything here, from thread to fabric to patterns to machines to finished artworks, and even clothes and accessories!
The show runs through Sunday (Oct. 14th), so if you're in the Bay Area and have time to spare this weekend, make sure to go!
It's that time of year again… Teachers are rejoicing, school kids are elated, and parents … well, parents are flooded with mixed emotions, I guess. Yep. The last day of school is upon us!
Next week my kids will be home full time. I'm looking forward to spending the long summer days with them. I'm old enough to realize how fast the years go by, and to appreciate every moment we still have together. But that also means I need to wrap up my sewing, which makes me a little sad. My many partially-conceptualized, half-started, unfinished, and almost-completed projects will all have to wait for fall. Sewing Season is over. Summers are for family.
So this week I've been busy finishing up one last thing: my throw pillow series. When they were all completed, I noticed a recurring pattern.
If you've seen my work, you know I love colors. Strong, vibrant colors in non-primary hues. I love purples, maroons, magentas, mustards and teals, to name some. But lately, it seems, I also started liking the combination of black, grays and terracotta-reds.
A while later, I found a beautiful piece of textile in … you guessed it: black and red!
I sewed it into a Renaissance Tote, and really loved how it turned out!
Wishing you all a wonderful, restful summer!
In one corner of my sewing room, you see, I found a little plastic bag containing five pieces of hand-woven tapestries I bought in Peru. On the other side I stumbled upon a pile of beautiful, vividly-colored velveteens I got at FabMo. The two piles just happened to match perfectly. How could I not do something about that?
When in Peru, I was blown away by the beautiful hand-woven and naturally-dyed tapestries I saw everywhere. I bought a table-runner or two, but was having a hard time finding tapestries to use in my own work. Most of the pieces I saw were quite big, and I wasn't sure whether I could cut them without completely damaging them. They were also very pricey. Using such costly textiles would have required hiking the prices of my own bags to more than what most people can afford. So I didn't buy anything to sew with.
Until, that is, I visited the most amazing Christmas market I've ever been to. The Christmas market in Cusco had a mind-boggling array of booths, with some incredible handicrafts. Several of these booths sold small tapestries in the size I was looking for. Unfortunately, most were made of commercially-dyed acrylics. Although some were pretty, I decided to pass them over. Then I stumbled upon a booth with some naturally-dyed woolen tapestries that stopped me in my tracks.
The seller showed me a handful of small tapestries, the likes of which I haven't seen anywhere else (you can see them in the above picture, on the very left, right above the shoes). Of those, I chose five that I found the most appealing (yes, in hindsight I DO regret not buying them all!). I purchased them without knowing what to do with them. When I came home, I put them in my sewing room for future use.
I re-discovered them while tidying up.
When I saw them, I immediately thought of the bright-colored fabrics I got at FabMo, piled on the other side of the room. Together, they were just begging to be turned into totes! So I started playing around.
Since the tapestries were gorgeous works of art all on their own, I wanted them to be the focus of the work. Because they were very colorful, I decided to match them with solid-colored fabrics that would frame and highlight them.
I've never worked with wool before (since I'm actually allergic to it!), and have never sewn through tapestries. I wasn't sure how this would work, or whether my sewing machine will like it. It turned out not to be a problem. The tapestries acted like some of the thickest fabrics I've worked with, but were unremarkable in any other way.
I made the five outer pieces, then selected matching solid colors for the lining. For those, I chose rough-ish textures to go with the feel of the outer layer.
After some deliberation, I decided to sew wide black straps. These I made from a fabric that felt like a cotton-raw-silk blend.
I worked on these totes on and off for about two weeks, and am quite happy with how they turned out!

Thanks to its proximity and visibility to the end of Norway's famous and sublimely scenic Nærøyfjord, Kjelfossen has been among the most well known of the world's true "tall" waterfalls for centuries. The falls have been cited and referenced in countless encyclopedias and almanacs over the years and were discussed in Edward Rashleigh's 1935 book "Among the Waterfalls of the World", thought to be the first major publication dedicated to the subject. Flowing from several modest lakes perched high up on the plateau above the fjord, Kjelfossen drops a total of about 2,313 feet (705m) in several steps, with a sheer leap of over 650 feet at the top of the falls. As the main fall drops to the valley floor, so to does a parallel stream with a fall of nearly equal height and likewise a sheer drop of over 650 feet. Individually these two streams have been labeled as Stor (Big) and Vetle (Little) Kjelfoss respectively, but for all intents and purposes are two segments of the same waterfall. A third, unnamed stream also streams down the adjoining cliff in a long horsetailing fall.
Kjelfossen is known for its height much more so than its volume (which is not terribly considerable), but references to the exact height of the falls have been quite varied over the years. Many early sources cite the falls as standing a total of 1,847 feet in all, and some claim this to be in a single, uninterrupted fall (which is simply not the case). Other sources have suggested a height of as much as 2,756 feet – a figure which would have to take into account the talus cascades below the actual bottom of the falls down to the confluence with the Nærøyelva at the valley floor. We had previously estimated the height to be about 2,475 feet, but have re-examined the topographic maps after surveying the falls in person and have re-adjusted our estimate to just over 2,300 feet accordingly.
Though the small drainage area which feeds into Kjelfossen precludes significant volume throughout the year, during the spring and early summer months when snow is melting and rain is falling consistently, Kjelfossen is a rather impressive waterfall. By late autumn it will be diminished considerably without consistent rain and may effectively freeze dry during the winter.
Kjelfossen is the Official name of this waterfall.
Once again thanks to the pronunciation found in the Norwegian language, this waterfall has held several variations in the spelling of its name. Kjelfossen is proper (pronounced "Shell-fossen"), but Kjels, Kjells, Kile, Keel and Keil have also been used as prefixes at some point or another.
While nowhere near as powerful or grand as many of Norway's other waterfall, Kjelfossen's great height and immensely simple accessibility among a major tourist destination makes it a waterfall of global significance that can (and should) be sought out by any who visit the area.
Because of the way the falls drop into its alcove, there is no way to see the entirety of all three segments from any single position, so its necessary to shoot the falls from several places along the E16 to see the entire falls. Kjelfossen faces more or less northwest and the entire falls will see direct sun during the afternoon hours.
Kjelfossen is found immediately southeast of the small town of Gudvangen along the E16 at the head of the Nærøyfjord and can be easily seen from the highway for a stretch of nearly 2km.

HVAC Contractor In Culpeper, VA Discusses Most Common HVAC Units
July 12, 2019 - /PressAdvantage/ - Brandy Station, Virginia based Dynamic Heating and Cooling recently published a new blog entry where they talk about the most commonly used HVAC systems. This article can be accessed through the following link: https://www.dynamiccooling.com/residential-hvac-standard-split-systems/.
The topic was also brought up briefly in a previous blog post, in which the company promised to go into more detail in the near future. While the new post accomplishes this, Dynamic Heating and Cooling goes a step further by describing each of the discussed HVAC systems, including a breakdown of the terminology that may be used to refer to them and a physical description to help readers identify the system in question.
Josh Bersee, a representative for Dynamic Heating and Cooling, says, "Our expectations with this new blog entry is to help our customers clear some of the common doubts and misconceptions they have regarding their HVAC units. We know of many cases where an HVAC repairman may be talking to their customer in overly technical terms, leaving them more confused since they haven't understood a single word that the technician said. It is for this reason that we decided to create this article, as we seek to educate our customers and make them more familiar with the topic."
In the article itself, the local company asserts that the most popular residential HVAC unit is the standard split system. The standard split system earned its popularity due to the reliability, quality, and durability that it possesses. It is one of the toughest parts of an HVAC system, lasting for long periods of time with minimal maintenance. Identifying these systems is rather easy as well, given that these systems consist of two components, and the name suggests. One component is located inside the house and sees more usage than its counterpart since it manages the temperature and redirects cool air towards the house's interior. The other component is located outside the residence and redirects the hot air from within the house to the exterior environment.
After the standard split system, the most commonly used appliance is a furnace and air conditioner component. It is a popular system in areas where there is a constant need to keep the system on for an extended time. It uses a refrigerant as the heat exchange fluid, through copper lines, which means that a copper evaporator coil that is installed inside the furnace cabinet does most of the hard work. It is also more durable than the standard split system, since none of its components are exposed outdoors. More information on these different systems is available through the following link: https://www.dynamiccooling.com/nbk7.
Conveniently, Bersee remarks that Dynamic Heating and Cooling is always available to answer their clients' inquiries and advise them of the most suitable HVAC system for their own living space. He says, "We will gladly help our customers pick the system that will satisfy their needs the best. We will go the extra mile to ensure they get a good quality unit that will last them for many years to come. If they need help installing it, we'll gladly do that as well, as we are specialists and can handle installation jobs within a couple of hours, depending on the complexity of the system installed."
Dynamic Heating and Cooling offers maintenance, repairs, service, and replacement of any components of an HVAC system. They take great pride in offering a comprehensive range of services that always fulfill their clients' needs, regardless of their unique situations. These services are catered towards both residential and commercial HVAC systems. In effect, this means that the local specialists are equipped to deal with any situation regardless of the scale of the project or its complexity.
Those interested in hiring a reputable company to either repair, replace, or install HVAC systems, may contact Josh Bersee of Dynamic Heating and Cooling. They may also visit the company's website, where their other blog entries covering a range of related topics can be found.

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rainfall have killed at least 50 people in Nepal in the past few days, with more deaths reported across the border in India and Bangladesh, officials said Sunday. At least 30 other people were missing in Nepal, either swept away by swollen rivers or buried by mudslides since monsoon rains began pounding the region on Friday, Nepal's National Emergency Operation Center said. The center said nine key highways remained blocked by floods and mudslides, and attempts were underway to open them up for traffic. Among them is the East-West Highway, which...
Pakistani businesses on strike over new IMF-backed taxes
KARACHI, Pakistan — Hundreds of thousands of Pakistani businesses are on strike nationwide to protest a new sales tax, which opposition political parties say is being imposed as part of the International Monetary Fund's recent $6 billion bailout package for Islamabad. Saturday's strike is happening in shopping malls and wholesale commodity markets, small shops and electronics stores. In the country's commercial hub, Karachi, divisions among retailers made the strikes less effective. Opposition Senator Mushahid Ullah Khan says the government's "ill-conceived" financial policies have led to price hikes. The IMF approved the bailout on July 3, saying it would help reduce...
The Latest: US aware Turkey taking Russian missile system
ANKARA, Turkey — The Latest on Russian missile systems arriving in Turkey (all times local): 6:55 p.m. The acting U.S. secretary of defense says Washington is aware that Turkey has begun taking delivery of a Russian-made S-400 air defense system. Mark Esper, who is expected to be officially nominated next week to be defense secretary, told reporters at the Pentagon that the U.S. remains unwilling to allow Turkey to acquire the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter, as long as it has the S-400. Esper said he planned to speak to his Turkish counterpart later in the day, and that the Pentagon...

La Repubblica di Goshen (in olandese: Republiek Goosen; in afrikaans: Het Land Goosen) è stata un'effimera repubblica boera sita nel territorio dell'attuale Sudafrica.

Fu fondata dai discendenti dei Voortrekker che a partire dal 1835, durante il Grande Trek, migrarono dalla Colonia del Capo britannica verso nord. Il nome "Goshen" si riferisce alla terra di Goscen descritta nella Bibbia, situata tra il delta del Nilo e il Canale di Suez.

La Repubblica di Goshen sopravvisse, come molte altre repubbliche boere, solo molto brevemente: fondata il 24 ottobre 1882, si unì già dal 6 agosto 1883 con la Repubblica di Stellaland per formare gli Stati Uniti di Stellaland, che a sua volta esistettero solo per un breve periodo di tempo, in quanto il 30 settembre 1885 furono annessi dagli inglesi nella colonia della corona del Bechuanaland britannico.

Candles seem to be in the 'in' thing at the moment. Yankee Candles have always been a popular choice but now we have the addition of Scentsy and tons of other companies stocking wax burners, it would be hard to find a home without some type of candle.
My house is filled with them. Chris seems to like them more than me, I reckon, but he'd never admit it! Zippo, the leading lighter brand, have developed a lighter specifically for lighting candles which means no more burning your fingers! It is perfect for setting the scene for a romantic dinner or having a relaxing bath.
Not only is it extremely practical and hardwearing, the sleek and stylish appearance will fit seamlessly into any home. There are three colours to choose from - Champagne, Harvest Brown and Candy Apple Red - so you are sure to find one to suit your mum.
The Zippo Candle Lighter features an advanced soft touch ignition system, adjustable flame dial, a patented child-resistant safety button and it is 6.5 inches from base to top. It also comes with a three-year warranty. For optimum performance, use the Zippo Premium Butane (sold separately).
Usually, I'm very cautious using lighters (flames scare me!) but this really is easy to use. I love that you have the option to change the strength of the flame and the child-resistant safety button is perfect for mums. Although we obviously do be as careful as we can but accidents do happen. It is great for peace of mind, just in case.
The Zippo Candle Lighter retails at £13.75.


Any suggestions or comments related to the history of the neighborhood up to the 1940s, at which point it was essentially built out (and the study is concluded), would be welcomed.
However, it is not the authors' intent to extend the study beyond that time.
Please send comments to webmaster@highstreethill.org.

On 26th July 2018, elderly Bristol citizens joined the Foundation at The Bristol Hotel for an afternoon tea. The afternoon consisted of good food and members from BLOC Productions sang songs from their upcoming show "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", followed by a sing-a-long. The day ended with a raffle for each table. Tickets for BLOC's "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", were included in the raffle. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
