Adani group already has investment worth Rs 750 crore in Bengal, said Pranav Adani, MD, Adani Wilmar on the second and final day of Bengal Global Business Summit.
"We run the largest network of ports in the country. Given the geographical location of West Bengal that connects to South East Asia and north eastern states, we look forward to bring our expertise in the state. We believe we can revolutionize the entire port scenario here, and it will create a massive driving force to boost employment. We seek your support for that. Given an opportunity we would like to replicate Mundra port that we have in Kutch, in West Bengal," said Adani.
Speaking about the company's investment in Bengal, he added that there are scopes for doubling the investment in next five years. "Currently our investment in West Bengal is currently in an excess of Rs 750 crore. We expect to double the investment in next five years," he said in presence of chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
"The Adani group also runs the largest network of power plants and transmission circuit. Our portfolio includes thermal and solar power as well. We would also like to further enable the power and energy sector here by bringing out renewable transmission expertise in the state in addition over thermal power generation capacity," added Adani.
In addition to port and power, he said that his group is also interested in agro-logistic sector in Bengal. "We also run the largest agriculture business in the country that spans to every corner of the country. West Bengal is already a critical part of the success. At this point we have already created over 4500 direct and indirect employment in the state. In last years, we have already doubled our capacity from 800 metric ton to 1600 metric ton for the edible oil refinery per day in Haldia. Packaging capacity has also been expanded from 1,200 tonnes to 1,800 tonnes," he said.


It's June of 1971. Tricia Nixon is getting married. And every reporter in town is determined to interview the last bride married in the White House, 80-something year old Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
Alice was the ultimate political celebrity. Her father was perhaps America's favorite President, Theodore Roosevelt; she married a future Speaker of the House. She was tall, gorgeous, and outrageous. Every other sentence she uttered was a sound bite with teeth that still nip. She meant it when she said, "If you haven't got anything good to say about anyone, come and sit by me." Everywhere she went, Alice made headlines for her shocking behavior. It drove her father crazy.
Welcome to an evening with the ultimate political celebrity: Alice Roosevelt Longworth.

Magnetic stir bars are made out of a magnetic material and commonly coated with a synthetic polymer, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene).
They can be used to stir liquids in a sealed container without reacting with the liquid in the container. They work well in glass beakers and conical flasks and are used in chemistry and biology research and home-brewing projects.
On adding this product to your cart you will receive 10 individual pieces of mixed size PTFE coated magnetic stir bars that are resistant to corrosion and weathering and are non toxic.
Elliptical magnetic stir bars are well suited for round bottom flasks. Their shapes ensures complete mixing and also offer minimal contact.


A little bit sunburnt on the Saturday, a little bit wet on the Monday, isn't that how British bank holidays usually go…?
Photographing Greenbelt Festival each August bank holiday is one of the highlights of our year, and this year's festival was no different, four days of being out and about with our cameras, pushing our creativity and experiencing a truly fabulous festival!
The new site at Boughton House near Kettering was simply spectacular, rolling green fields, lakes shimmering in the sun, lawns and woodlands all in the grounds of a stately home.
Three days of deep blue skies and glorious sunshine, one day of big grey clouds, torrential rain and mud, we had it all… We had a blast!
The grounds of Boughton House are beautiful, made even more so by the gorgeous blue sky!
Dizraeli and the Small Gods; mixing hiphop beats, ancient folk, classical and jazz!
Ending the night around the campfire!

Startupbootcamp FinTech Announces EIR for 2016 New York Program
The Entrepreneur in Residence will support firms under acceleration in NY.
Steven Hatzakis | News ( FinTech ) | Friday, 22/04/2016 | 20:21 GMT+2 2016-04-22T18:21:44+00:00 2016-04-24T05:22:44+00:00
With operations in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the United States, Startupbootcamp FinTech today announced its Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) program for New York, after the company unveiled the top 10 fintech startups to join its 13-week accelerator program in the state earlier this week.
Startupbootcamp FinTech is supported by a diverse group of partners such as financial services companies and technology providers, including investment banks and venture capital firms and mentors across 50 countries, which together aid its influence in helping startup firms refine their ideas and bring their fintech solutions to market.
Innovation often arises from working shoulder to shoulder with individuals from a diverse array of backgrounds and experiences…
Blockchain in focus
As part of the New York EIR program, a Blockchain-focused technology firm named Fluent – that had previously completed Startupbootcamp's accelerator program – will be made available to the 10 firms under current acceleration in an effort to provide guidance and support as the firms compete over the 13-week period.
With offices in Kentucky, Missouri, and California, Fluent has developed a suite of products for its financial operating network for global commerce built on Blockchain technology, and closed its pre-seed financing round at the end of last year with participation from Thomson Reuters, United Missouri Bank (UMB), and Draper Associates.
Fluent to serve as NY EIR

Live Event11-Gen XYZ vs. 18-FLUX (The Dozen, Match 262)Watch Now
With all due respect to Prince Phillip, here's the only Prince I am mourning today.
Large4/21/2021 7:50 PM
I wrote a blog similar to this 2 years ago but didn't follow up last year because the world was in the throes of a pandemic and I was busy writing up a disclaimer for the short-lived Stock Central show on Sirius POWER 85.
I have some time on my hands this year, so I will give you guys a quick update:
Prince is still dead.
The fifth anniversary of his death is today, April 21st, and from the looks of it, it seems like it'll come and go without much fanfare, overshadowed by either yesterday's National Pothead Day or by those who secretly celebrated Hitler's birthday behind closed doors (also 4/20).
Since I partake in neither of yesterday's festivities (as far as you know), I am going to carve out just a couple of minutes of your Tuesday evening looking back on The Purple One's achievements.
More specifically, I am going to rank the Top 10 Women Prince Has Banged.
I think many have argued in the past what song of Prince's was his best work, and I know his name comes up in yearly debates on where he ranks as the greatest Super Bowl halftime performer. However, I don't think he gets enough credit for the broads he left in his wake, so fuck it… Here are my Top 10.
Quick Note(s)- All of these women are also de-facto Asses From The Past (AFTPs) for the simple fact they are either my age or older… Starting with Number 10, who has NO business being on this list EXCEPT for the fact that I "enjoyed" her when I was a young lad.
And all of these photos I had to get off of legal archives because we get sued for just ripping shit off the internet, apparently… So excuse the quality (or lack of).
NUMBER 10- Sheena Easton
This is actually a GIF of Tanya Roberts playing "Sheena: Queen of the Jungle" in 1984 since Easton is not much to look at… Particularly during her Pat Benatar phase…
ITV. Shutterstock Images.
The now 61-year-old Scottish singer collaborated with Prince on a number of occasions and appeared in his concert film Sign o' the Times. She also accommodated his penis within her Sugar Walls.
NUMBER 9- Anna Fantastic who was stunningly beautiful as a young woman and seems to still have her fastball as of 5 years ago.
David Livingston. Getty Images.
She's also one of three girls on this countdown who changed their name for Prince.
Anna Garcia met The Artist Onetime Formerly Known as Prince at the age of 16 while attending his concert in London. A year later she was living with him in Minneapolis.
The song Pink Cashmere was written about the jacket Prince gave Anna when she turned 18, but may also be a metaphor for Miss Fantastic's vagina… We can't be sure because as I mentioned above, Prince is still dead.
Number 8- Suzanna Hoffs
This one is a little personal because the lead singer of The Bangles (and my first Jewish crush) also came along at a time when I was blossoming into manhood.
She is still performing, and at 62 years of age, I think she still looks pretty good…
Jon Furniss. Getty Images.
Rumor has it that Prince gave the song Manic Monday, which he wrote in 1984, to Hoffs so that she would sleep with him. I'd like to think this rumor is false because I don't like envisioning his grubby little hooves all over poor Suzanna.
Number 7- Tatiana Thumbtzen
Raymond Boyd. Getty Images.
Best known as the girl from Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel video, Tatiana is the only girl I know of to have dated both a Prince and a King of Pop.

Number 6- Heidi Mark
Former Playboy playmate, and now 50-year-old actress/model who is originally from Helsinki, Finland.
She dated Prince for less than a year in 1991 and was later married to Motley Crüe lead singer, Vince Neil, for just over a year in 2000-2001.
Ron Galella. Getty Images.
Number 5- Mayte Garcia
Gie Knaeps. Getty Images.
Prince's first wife.
They met when she was 16. They began dating after she turned 18. At 19, she says he instructed her to get on birth control thus beginning their sexual relationship. On February 14, 1996, after a four-year courtship, Garcia married Prince.
Here's a little downer- Their only child, Amiir, was born with Pfeiffer syndrome and unable to breathe without a ventilator. He died just six days after his birth.
And here's something both weird and sad- A week later, the couple were interviewed on Oprah, where they pretended their son was still alive.
And finally, here's something kinda cool- Mayte is the second girl in a row on this countdown (but not the last) who Motley Crüe got as Prince's sloppy seconds… She went on to have a 2-year relationship with hepatitis-riddled Tommy Lee.
Number 4- Kim Basinger
(9 1/2 Weeks)
The actress dated Prince around 1989, when she was in Batman.
Together they recorded his fiery EP The Scandalous Sex Suite, Basinger's contributions to the tracks were either spoken word or orgasmic moans, and there was speculation it was recorded while the pair were having sex.
Number 3- Apollonia Kotero
Former Rams cheerleader and Prince's love interest in Purple Rain… They dated in 1983.
My only real memory of this young lady was that scene where she got naked and jumped in a lake. That was the second most famous cinematic topless Apollonia, lagging only the time Apollonia Vitelli bared her breasts for the equally short and tragically awkward Michael Corleone in The Godfather.
Number 2- Carmen Electra
Slaven Vlasic. Getty Images.
The second of the three girls on this countdown who changed their name for Prince.
They reportedly had a relationship when she was on his record label in the early-1990s while she was still using her real name, Tara Leigh Patrick.
Prince wrote the song Eye Hate U about Electra and their subsequent breakup after he had found out she was cheating on him.
Number 1- Vanity
Ron Galella, Ltd.. Getty Images.
The third and final of the three girls on this countdown who changed their name for Prince, AND the third and final girl on this list that fucked around with a member of Motley Crüe after Prince was finished covering her in protein.
The half-black/half-Jewish Canadian singer/songwriter-turned evangelist was born Denise Katrina Matthews. Prince renamed her Vanity after they met in 1982, as he considered her to be the female form of himself.
I wish I was making this up, but he initially suggested she go by the name "Vagina", but they settled on a much more benign "V" word.
Ron Wolfson. Getty Images.
Let that sink in… Vanity, Carmen Electra, and some girl you never heard of before (Anna Fantastic) changed their legal names at the behest of this little goat, AND three of them took the tongue tricks they learned from Prince and used them for entry into the beds, vans, or maybe a pile boxes behind a dumpster of arguably the greatest hair-band of all time.
So there's Prince's Top Ten according to me… Does this list hold up to the absolute LEGEND, Leonardo DiCaprio?
But keep in mind, when Prince passed, I was talking about his legacy with my wife when my then 8-year-old asked, "Who is Prince?"
And I answered, "Picture a goat dressed in purple playing the guitar while hopped up on fentanyl."… And I don't think I could've done a better job with that description.
Shutterstock Images.
So when you factor in how Prince looked vs the appearance of those who willingly accepted his purple load, then I think you'll realize that five years ago today we lost not only a great musician but also one of the greatest cocksmen of all time.
Rest In Peace, my sweet prince… And take a report.

Ivan Robert Marko Milat também conhecido como O Assassino de Mochileiros foi um assassino em série australiano, condenado pelo assassinato de sete mochileiros nos anos 1980 e 1990.

Os seus crimes ficaram conhecidos como "Backpackers Murders".  Milat cumpria pena em Nova Gales do Sul e até sua morte, se declarava inocente de todas as acusações feitas contra ele.
Ele   ganhou uma série no canal A&E, que conta a história de seus assassinatos e como ele agia.

Trajetória
Ivan, 51 anos, era um trabalhador da estrada, ávido caçador e filho de um imigrante croata, cujos prazeres na vida eram um veículo de quatro rodas motrizes, uma moto Harley Davidson e uma propensão para matar estranhos.

Suspeito de ser o pior assassino em série da Austrália, Ivan é acusado de assassinar sete caronistas. Ivan gostava de caçar suas vítimas como se fossem animais, dando-lhes uma vantagem por entre os matos de Nova Gales do Sul.

De 1989 a 1992, a brutalidade de seus ataques horrorizou o público australiano.
Algumas das vítimas foram baleadas, outras esfaqueadas, e um deles foi decapitado com uma espada encontrada no apartamento da mãe de Ivan, que tinha seu rifle equipado
com um silenciador e usou a cabeça da vítima para "alvo".

Dos sete mortos, cinco eram turistas europeus, as outras duas vítimas eram adolescentes do estado australiano de Victoria.

Dois dos mortos eram jovens britânicos cujos desaparecimentos levaram à descoberta sinistra dos corpos de todos os sete caronistas.

A polícia lançou uma das maiores caçadas humanas da história da Austrália.
A principal testemunha de acusação é um outro turista britânico que fugiu de carro.
Ele foi preso em 1994 em sua casa nos arredores de Sydney, onde a polícia encontrou peças de armas, munições e facas usadas nos assassinatos, assim como equipamentos de campismo, que disse terem pertencido a alguns dos caronistas assassinados.

As autoridades de Nova Gales do Sul têm oferecido alojamento gratuito e assistência financeira às vítimas que desejarem assistir ao julgamento.

Milat acabou por ser condenado a sete penas consecutivas de prisão perpétua sem liberdade condicional. Até morrer, em 27 de Outubro de 2019, vítima de cancro no esófago e no estômago, reafirmou sempre a sua inocência.

Os assassinatos

Deborah Everist
O corpo de Deborah mais parecia com um hamburger quando ele foi descoberto em 5 de outubro de 1993, três anos e meio após a sua morte. Isto torna muito difícil para cientistas obter informações precisas sobre a causa exata da morte. Ela teria sofrido pelo menos uma facada, mas era evidente que houve várias lesões, detectadas em Deborah na parte superior do esqueleto. Mas, devido ao adiantado estado de degradação, foi impossível determinar se Deborah sofreu mais ferimentos fatais. Seu crânio tinha sido fraturado. Este pode ter sido quebrado após sua morte, mas não foi determinado.

James Gibson
Devido ao tempo decorrido entre o seu assassinato até a descoberta do corpo de James, uma série de provas cruciais tinham sido perdidas. No entanto o esqueleto de James forneceu aos detetives o modo como foi abatido. A autópsia indicou que James tinha sofrido várias apunhaladas. A maioria das apunhaladas foram desferidas em seu peito e na parte superior das costas. A ferocidade dos golpes tinha deixado alguns dos ossos de James cortados ao meio. Este tinha uma tatuagem, que foi arranca com uma faca.
Ambos Deborah e James foram encontrados em sepulturas rasas na floresta estadual de Belanglo. Eles estavam cobertos apenas com folhas e detritos.

Simone Schmidl
Simone, como muitas das outras vítimas, havia sofrido várias apunhaladas na sua parte superior das costas. Tal como as outras, ela foi encontrada em um túmulo raso na floresta estadual de Belanglo, coberta com varas, folhas e detritos. Seu corpo foi descoberto em 1 de novembro de 1993, após o seu desaparecimento, em Janeiro de 1991. O tempo entre a sua morte e a descoberta do seu corpo foi suficiente para apagar muitas das provas que teriam ajudado a condenar alguém para os crimes. Três dias depois mais dois corpos foram encontrados, sendo que  o número de mortos subiu para sete.

Gabor Neugebauer
Gabor e sua namorada Anja Habschied foram encontrados na floresta estadual de Belanglo em 4 de novembro de 1993. Gabor tinha sido atacado seis vezes na cabeça, três tiros do lado esquerdo do seu crânio e três tiros na parte de trás, base do crânio. Evidências forenses sugerem também que Gabor foi estrangulado, talvez como um último esforço sádico para matá-lo, embora os seis tiros por si só teriam sido mais do que suficientes. Ele também tinha um pedaço de pano amarrado em torno de seu rosto como uma mordaça. A arma usada para matar Gabor foi identificada como Ruger 10/22. Peças de uma Ruger 10/22 e um silencioso caseiro foram encontrados em uma cavidade na parede da casa de Ivan Milat.

Anja Habschied
O assassinato de Anja Habschied foi de longe o pior. Antes da descoberta do corpo de Anja, a polícia sabia que as formas dos assassinatos foram por tiros e apunhaladas (embora também haja provas de que ele estrangulou pelo menos uma das suas vítimas). Com a causa comum de morte, a polícia foi capaz de ligar todas as seis vítimas à mesma pessoa, no entanto o assassinato de Anja Habschied estava muito longe das feridas infligidas às outras vítimas. Anja teve sua cabeça separada de seu corpo em um violento golpe. O corpo de Anja estava sem a metade inferior do vestuário. Isto sugere que ela também pode ter sido violentada sexualmente, mas infelizmente, devido ao tempo decorrido de quase dois anos entre o seu assassinato e a descoberta de seu corpo, não há provas suficientes para se saber ao certo. Algumas peças de vestuário foram encontradas mais tarde, e acredita-se terem sido pertencidos a Anja e Gabor. Por estarem quase totalmente decompostos no chão da floresta, é difícil para a polícia estar absolutamente certa.

Why are Manchester United struggling to grasp a Champions League place?
Posted March 13, 2015 16:00 by
From 1993 through to 2011 (minus a couple of barren years here and there) Manchester United were the best team in England, you could even go as far as in saying that they were also the best team in Europe.
Rival supporters at every club flocked to see us play at the same time as hating us, whilst every club knew they had to play at least 120% to beat Fergie's teams, and that was at home – beating Man Utd at Old Trafford came at odds longer than winning the Euro millions rollover at times. They challenged for the title every year and were also serious contenders every year for the Champions League, and at the same time as admitting that winning 2 champions leagues is a brilliant achievement, Fergie will rue 2001, 2007 and in particular 2010 – as 3 golden opportunities to win the greatest prize in European football once again.
Now Manchester United are not even the 4th best team in England. You could also think of at least 10 clubs in Europe who are playing better football week in week out than the supposed 'biggest team in the world'.
Being a Manchester United fan, I have an incredible biased view towards them in any discussion that involves them, but over the last 18-20 months I have been having arguments with myself on whether its worth saying anything, there is only so much of the 'we'll get better' that I can use.
Monday mornings are meant to be spent chatting to the football fans in the office about how your team beat theirs, or how their team played terribly and yours were so good you watched Match of the Day at 11pm and 7am. I haven't wanted to watch a replay of Match of the Day for months, that's how bad I think we have become. Moyes started the fire whilst LVG is the blind man trying to put it out.
However, I do feel that there has been some improvements under LVG:
1. We now have the ball for long periods of the game, and have dominated most of the teams we have faced this season in possession.
2. We've stopped being really really shit, which we were last season.
3. Some of our better performances have been against the so called big clubs – Chelsea (H), Man City (A – 2nd Half), Liverpool (A), Tottenham (A – 1st Half).
4. We've gotten rid of some players who's performances last season were more often than not – terrible.
5. We've brought some big names and spent big money.
But problems remain:
1. We have pointless possession for long periods of the game, only passing backwards and sideways and totally ignoring our strikers most of the time.
2. We've gone from bad performance to even worse performance on so many occasions this season its frightening, I wonder whether the players watch the replays of the matches?
3. We've gone away to teams we should really be beating and not looked like scoring let alone winning (no offense to Sunderland, Burnley, Leicester, West Brom, Swansea, Tottenham, Stoke and West Ham fans).
4. Our so called 'World Class' players haven't performed, or have been played in too many different positions or systems.
5. We avoided strengthening visibly weak areas in the team that needed improvement.
6. Our build up play is too slow
7. We are prone to counter-attacks which 9 times out of 10 result in goals.
8. Goals we concede are often from lapses of concentration and mistakes.
9. We are too rigid and don't take any risks.
10. Louis van Gaal's philosophy is so unclear to me, I am starting to wonder whether its just about boring possession based football where you don't take any shots at the oppositions goal?
Maybe this is what I am going to have to get used to, mediocre football? Many people would say its what I deserve anyway, growing up in Milton Keynes and supporting Manchester United annoys a lot of people and by not being a season ticket holder – many reds might feel annoyed that I'm even blogging about it in the first place.
Louis van Gaal said the 1-0 win away at Newcastle was our best away performance of the season, he would – because we didnt concede, had 65% possession and won. That's only the 2nd time we've done that away from home this season, we sit 4th after a tough away game.
Reading the verdicts of the journalists – (who are cherishing our torrid form as the figures for their websites have never been higher) – I usually question why they are being so harsh, so high maintenance, but last night came along and suddenly I was ready to agree with any over the top statement they were willing to make – my eyes were finally opened – fully. We are not playing attractive football, we are not showing any sign that we will start winning matches by a comfortable distance anytime soon and we are not improving either.
The best thing about this is that it can only get better – their play can only become quicker, more attractive and gain the fluidity they so desperately need, plus players like Angel Di Maria and Robin van Persie can't perform much worse at the moment for players of their stature, so something should click soon, hopefully bringing more goals to the team. The players need to reveal an identity – one that is positive, one that outscores opponents and showcases the best football in the country, not some of the most boring. Yes we're used to exciting 4-4-2, and thats what we've been calling for – but surely as long as we start playing nice exciting creative football, the critics will pipe down.
I have been hoping for this for a few weeks now though. Arsenal always make the Champions League, don't they? Surely they're guaranteed one of the 2 spaces, and it merely comes down to a team not playing well and a team who are maybe playing too well. With Liverpool playing with the same intensity that so nearly got them the title last year, they look like a shadow of the team who lost 3-0 at Old Trafford, although they are bound to drop some points between now and the end of the season, will they drop more than us? Two defeats in 21 games is great, but if Monopoly only allows 2 'get out of jail free' cards, our luck must be running out soon?
Come May 24th at 5pm – we will hopefully secure a place in the Champions League and aslong as we're guaranteed it, I'd take it being tense because thats what football is all about, ideally my headline that evening would be – 'Man United snatch 4th place on goal difference after Gerrard scored horrific own goal'.
All dreams aside, the next 10 weeks are very important in deciding whether we go for Gareth Bale or Stewart Downing in the summer and I still have an dab of confidence to say we will do it – but I don't think it will be pretty. Not for a while.

My pre-run ritual was interrupted by sheer beauty. "Mamãe, we're hungry," they said. I thought, "people who are busier than I am run. I can do this." By the time I stepped out of my house I tried to give up at least 3 times. I had all sorts of excuses, from these cute kids need me to it's raining. I decided to get out there and find my happy anyway.
Aren't yall supposed to be asleep? Haha!
My back was against the wind the whole time. I thought about how much effort is needed to keep up with this hobby. I decided to distract myself from the bad weather conditions and find beauty wherever I could. I saw this gorgeous lake.
Focusing on beauty distracts me every time.
I greeted a person who visibly had problems in both of her legs but was out there exercising. I called myself blessed. I thought about one of my confessions which is "running is for healthy people. I'm blessed to be out here and I am blessed to run, so I'll keep running." I thought about my future runs and I felt good about my speed. I try to train with runners who are more experienced and faster than I am so I was thankful that I will be able to keep up with them.
Towards the end of the run I ran through some fence construction. The sidewalk was closed which meant I had to run through a patch of mud and grass. I thought about the old Gospel song "Guide my feet while I run this race." I prayed, "Lord, literally, guide me cause I dislike running in uneven paths." If life was that easy. I've had seasons in life where everything was but smooth but somehow God was there as a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. For that, I am thankful.
I heard a small dog barking and I kept running. The little dog escaped from his badly fenced yard and came after me. This girl immediately became Boston Marathon material: I ran for my life! I thought, nothing like a dog to make me run super fast. I looked back and the little dog was out of sight so I kept going. I had a little over one mile to go but I was already thankful and full of energy.
I reflected on the 3 things that got me and kept me out there: Preparation, Visualization, and Encouragement.
Preparation because without it, it's difficult to accomplish such a task. My running clothes were ready, my alarm clock was set and the coffee maker programmed. There was no doubt this run was going to happen. In my Preparation stage I had to go through some adaptation. I wasn't counting on feeding my cute kids and having to entertained them in my sleep deprived stage.
I had to Visualize my run. I had a clear picture in my mind of how this run was going to happen. I thought about where I was going, what I would most likely see and how great I was going to feel. There was no doubt my legs could do this for they have covered 21.2 more miles than I covered today. It was my mind I needed to convince.
My husband is my chief Encourager. He told me together we could make my run happen. When I got back the kids were ready for their day. What an amazing man I have! I checked my Instagram and several friends sent me encouraging messages when they saw my gloomy, pre-race mood. Their words were supercharged with courage that went straight to my heart. I appreciate each one of them!
This tale is meant to tell you that you and I have plenty excuses not to accomplish something. The key is to use Preparation, Visualization and Encouragement to get us through our daily challenges.
Just like me, you stand at your front door. What's stopping you from accomplishing your goals? The wind might not be on your back but my friend, you have what it takes to overcome.
By the way, where is that lake trail? Is it here in Houston? It's gorgeous. I'd love to check it out sometime!
This was a really inspirational post. I also look at my surroundings to distract me. Right now, everything is so green, which is a positive for all this darn rain.

Unhyeongung, The hall of Korean royal family culture
Heungseondaewongun
Budaebuin Min
King Gojong
Myeongseonghwanghu
Owners of Unhyeongung
Heungseondaewongun was a royal family member and a politician of the Joseon Dynasty.
His nickname was Sibaek and penname was Seokpa while his real name was Haeung.
He was a fifth generation descendent of King Yeongjo and father of King Gojong the 26th king of Joseon Dynasty.
In 1843 (9th year of King Heonjong), he became Heungseongun. In 1846, he was promoted to Daejongwan of Sureungcheonjangdogam and then, appointed as Yusadangsang of Jongchinbu and Dochonggwan of Owidochogbu.
As the royal family experienced greater pressure from the power of the Andong Kim family, he pretended to be crazy, kept company with rogues, and became a beggar. He was jokingly called "Gungdoryeong", meaning 'green youth'. After King Cheoljong died without an heir, his second son, Myeongbok, was appointed king by the power of Queen Mother Jo and he himself became Daewongun. He reformed the government, rooted out nepotism, and hired anyone with talent regardless of their backgrounds through the regent. Also, he reformed the Seowons (private Confucius schools), which were reasons for political disputes. He reformed the tax system of "hwangok" to a "sachang" system to prevent tax benefits for the ruling class and to charge them the same gunpo that was charged to the commoners. He simplified the clothing and prevented lavish living on the part of the ruling elite. He established legal laws through his writings Daejeonhoetong, Yukjeonjorye, and Yangjeonpyeongo,but he also came under complaint by the people for levying heavy taxes and enlisting people to build Kyeongbok Palace.
He established a "swaegukyangi" policy that prohibited exchange with western powers. He executed nine French priests and 8000 Catholics in the year of Byeongin. This incident is called "Byeonginyangyo", which is the historical crackdown against Catholicism. The French army invaded the Joseon Dynasty because of this incident, but the Joseon Army destroyed the French battleships. Another incident, known as the "Battleship General Sherman" incident, with the U.S. trying to force the Joseon Dynasty to open its doors to the West. Although he eventually won this war as well, he lost political power due to an appeal on the part of Confucian scholars including Choi Ikhyeon, who was in a political power conflict with Queen Myeongseong. In 1882 (19th year of King Gojong ), an Imogunran (military coup) helped him to regain power, but with Qing Dynasty's intervention, he was exiled to Tianjin, China for three years. In 1886, he tried to put his eldest son, Jaemyeon, on the throne with the help of Wianseukai, an attempt which had failed. In 1895, he regained power again through the Eulmisabyeon that Japanese Ambassador Miura started. Afterwards, a pro-Russian government was formed through Aguanpacheon and so, he retired. In 1907 (1st year of King Sunjong), he was appointed as Dawwanwang. His appointed name was Heonui.
Yeoheungbudae (wife) Min (1818 ~ January 1898) was a royal family member of the Joseon Dynasty, the mother of King Gojong, and she was a daughter of Min Chigu.
She married Heungsondaewongun and with him, had two sons and one daughter. She was a Catholic from a young age and had read "Ilgwamun". In 1863, when her second son became king, she held a Catholic mass in Unhyeongung. In December 1863, she was invested with the title "Yeoheungbudae" (wife). In 1866, with her husband, Heungseondaewongun, were looking for a future queen for his son King Gojong and she recommended a daughter of Min Chirok, who was her uncle, and made her queen. Daewongun, considering the fact that Min Chirok's father died early, predicted that there would not be any future threat to the throne from his family - a view that was later radically changed by the adoption of a son by Min's brother, Min Gyeomho.
Min was baptized a Catholic by the French bishop, Mutel, in October 1887, when the Korea-France agreement was completed and Catholicism was allowed. She tried to protect the Joseon Dynasty from Russia, who had the ambition to conquer the Korean peninsula. Through the aid of the French government, her connection with her friend the French bishop, Berneux, and Gojong's nanny, Park Marta. In the end, she failed and in 1907, she received the investiture of "Sunmokdaewonbi."
His name after death was Jaehwang whose childhood name was Myeongbok.
His Choja was Myeongbu Ja, Seongrim, and penname Juyeon. He was the second son of Lee Haeung (Heungseondaewongun), grandson of King Yeongjo, and his wife was Min, daughter of Chirok, Yeoseongbuwongun. In December 1863 (14th year of King Cheoljong), the king died without a successor and he became king at the age of 12 by the order of Queen Mother Jo. Too young to govern, the Queen Mother became regent. Under a great cause to help the King more efficiently, power was passed to Daewongun, which led to his decade-long administration.
For ten years of King Gojong's reign, his father, Heungseondaegun, carried out drastic reforms: getting rid of nepotism and divisive power structures between political scholars, hiring anyone with talent regardless of political backgrounds, abolishing Bibyeonsa, reviving the authority of Yijeongbu, establishing a strong military called Samgunbu, building an army, Yanghwajin, on the Han River to strengthen protection for the capital city, reforming taxation to make the ruling class pay their fair share, and punishing the ruling elites for the abuse of power . Daewongun's political missteps included a worsening national financial situation by extending Kyeongbok Palace, coining bad money, Dangbaekjeon, which led to the impoverishing of the commoner life, the enforced enlistment of physical labor from the commoners to build the palace which led to rioting, a crackdown on Catholicism, the killing of 8,000 Catholics, a closed door policy toward western powers, Byeoninyangyo (war against France), and Sinmiyangyo (war against the U.S). In November 1873 (10th year of Gojong), through Queen Min's conspiracy, he retired from political power and King Gojong became directly involved in governing. Afterwards, political powers were passed to Queen Min's family including Min Seungho, Min Gyeomho, and Min Taeho so nepotism began afresh.
The Unyoho Incident in 1875 forced the Joseon Dynasty to abandon its closed door policy to foreign countries. The Byeongja Agreement with Japan was made and a new culture and civilization of modern capitalist countries came to Joseon Dynasty. Conflicts between those that supported openness and those seeking to remain closed became more serious. In 1881, Joseonchaeryak, written by Hwang Junhyeon, was published, encouraging advocates of Pro-Confucian ideas (the Wijeongcheoksa faction) to raise their voice against the Min family government. Conspirators, including An Giyeong, sought to place Lee Jaeseon, Daewongun's first child born of a concubine, on the throne which was a plot that was uncovered by Go Byeon. The Min family government severely cracked down on the Wijeongcheoksa faction. In 1881, Sinsayurandan (diplomatic envoy) was dispatched to Japan to learn about the new Western civilization. The military was reformed and a new, western-style military called "Byeolgigun" was established. In 1882, strong opposition against the new military system started Imogunran (military coup), which caused bloody fighting between the pro-Western civilization (Gaehwapa) faction and those against it (Sugupa). In 1884, Gapsinjeongbyeon (political change in Gapsin year) forced King Gojong to move to Kyeongu Palace, and then to Gyedong Palace by Gaehwapa.
During this incident, King Gojong built diplomatic ties with the U.S. and Britain, but in 1885, the Tianjin Agreement, which removed the influence of Qing Dynasty in Joseon, gave power to Japan and provided a chance for Japan to colonize the Korean peninsula.
In February 1896, King Gojong and the crown prince escaped to the Russian Embassy through Weber's Plot (this incident is called "Agwanpacheon) and advocates looking to open Korea to the West, including Kim Hongji, Jeong Byeongha, and Eo Yunjong, whom were assassinated. A pro-Russian cabinet was put into place, placing Joseon under the protection of Russia. On February 25th, 1897, King Gojong moved to KyeonguPalace (present-day Deoksu Palace) according to an agreement between Russia and Japan. In August, he changed the name of the regal year to Gwangmu and, on October, changed the name of the Dynasty to Daehan, and became emperor. In 1904 (8th year of Gwang-mu), victorious in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was able to establish the 1st Japan-Korea Treaty in which they requested in favor for Foreign Government. A year later, the rights of the public order of Korea were replaced by the Japanese Military Police and that same year in November, the Eulsa Treaty, which was the 2nd Japan-Korea Treaty, was made. The right to foreign policy was taken over by the Japanese and pushed the Korean nation into a state of national crisis, following the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria. Korean patriots Min Young-hwan, Jo Byung-sae, Hong Man-sik, and others protested through suicide, but in February of 1906, Japan put in place a Governor-General of Korea to fully implement Foreign Rule of Government. In 1907 at the 2nd Hague Convention in The Netherlands, King Gojong sent secret emissaries, Lee Jun and others, in hopes to regain Korea's rights. But due to Japan's obstruction, the mission resulted in failure and the entire "Hague Secret Emissary Affair" became ammunition for Japan to threaten the Emperor with abdication of his throne to Sun Jong.
It's said that after receiving the title of Former Emperor, he lived his later years in Duksoo Palace. In January 21st, 1919, he was said to been killed by poison by the Japanese. Gojong's 44 years of reign was a turbulent period for the Korean people and one in which he also experienced, the ill fate of the country and misfortune of losing his country after only 3 years of being on the throne. His royal tomb lies in Geumgok, Hongreung and he wrote the book "Juyonjib".
She was born in Yeo-heung as Yeosung Buwongun, Min Chi-rok's daughter (1851 ~ 1895).
At 8 years of age, she lost her father and suffered greatly as her family became impoverished, but amongst the Min family, she was known for being a precocious child. In 1866 (3rd year of Joseon's Gojong), Heungseon Daewongun sought to eliminate the power base that was built on nepotism surrounding the throne. At the recommendation of Daewongun's wife, Min, Daewongun's search for a suitable wife for his son, King Gojong, resulted in her becoming queen at age 16.
Although Gojong was in love with his courtesan, Lee, and cared little for Queen Myeongseong, Myeongseong was praised by those around her for her outstanding manners. When Courtesan Lee gave birth to a son, Wanhwa Gung, the child of a concubine, Heungseon Daewongun, Lee Ha-eung was very pleased. As a result, Queen Myeongseong, became motivated by feelings of discontent and jealousy to hone her political acumen. While Heungseon Daewongun ruled the country, the general public ignored Queen Myeongseong and she used this opportunity to gather the opposition to Heungseon Daewongun's power and to amass her own influence. In 1874 (Joseon's Gojong 11th year), she gave birth to Prince Chuk and the rise of Queen Myeongseong's party gained the notice of Heungseon Daewongun, causing him to make plans for Wanhwa Gung to be named the only successor to the throne. This plan was uncovered by Queen Myeongseong and started the beginning of a race for the throne. She sent Senior Lee Yu-won to Beijing in order to receive approval for Prince Chuk to be the successor. She took the opportunity of the civic unpopularity of Heungseon Daewongun's domestic policy and ordered Min Seung-ho to collude with Jo Sung-ha, nephew of Queen Jo, and with the Kim Byeong-kuk party, who opposed Heungseon Daewongun. She extended her power by allying with Heungseon Daewongun's oldest son, Lee Jae-myeon, and Heungseon Daewongun's older brother, Lee Choi-eung, as well as with Jo Doo-soon and Lee Yu-won. Finally in 1873 (the 10th year of Joseon Gojong), Heungseon Daewongun stepped down from his position and Gojong alone ruled the country.
Gojong created a Treaty of Peace and advocated an Open Door Policy for the country. He started to change the domestic affairs of Heungseon Deawongun from within. The main supporters of Queen Myeongseong gained position within the palace, resulting in an increased hostility with Heungseon Daewongun. This tension eventually led to a military rebellion in 1882, Imo year. Queen Myeongseong barely escaped to safety in the house of Chungju Mok. Min Eun-sik and Heungseon Daewongun was able to reclaim his position. He mistakenly believed that Queen Myeongseong had been killed in the event and even arranged a funeral for her, but Chinese intervention resulted in a limiting of the army and eventually the forced removal of Heungseong Daewongun to their country. After the 1884 Gapsin Coup, the Min clan forced out the Enlightenment Party and restored the balance of power to the conservative faction. Ten years later, pressure from Japan resulted in the Gabo Reform as Queen Myeongseong lost power again. Three countries intervened, putting Japan in an unfavorable position, and resulting in a partnership with Russia that threatened Japan's control. In September 1895, Miura was appointed as the Japanese Envoy after Inoue and he was set on a collision course with Queen Myeongseong and her partnership with Russia. The Myeongseong partnership with Russia irritated Japan and in October 8th, 1895, Queen Myeongseong was assassinated by a pro-Japanese group along with 20~30 men sent by the Japanese Envoy. Her corpse was wrapped in a royal blanket and dosed with gasoline before it was set aflame. This incident was called the Eulmi Incident. In the year 1897 (Korean Empire Gwangmu 1st), she was officially given the title Queen Myeongseong, and her remains were kept at South Cheongyangni until 1919, when King Gojong was dethroned, she was moved to Hongreung. Deep within Gyeongbok Palace near the Korean Folk Village (for a while the Jeonseung Craft Hall was used) on the right side, resides Queen Myeongseong's Memorial Tomb, alone throughout the years.
First generationLee Ha-eung (Heungseon Daewongun 1820~1898 Sunjo 20th~Gojong 35th)
2nd generationLee Jae-myeon (1845~1912)
Whanhyeong Gun Lee Jae-myeon was the first son of Hyeongseon Daewongun. Although he was seven years older than his brother Myeong-bok, he was not chosen to be the crown prince. After losing his wife, he remarried the 20-year-old, Gyesil, at age 57. Gyesil was 13 years younger than his son, Lee Jun-young.
3rd generationLee Jun-yong (1870~1917)
Youngsun Gun Lee Jun-yong was the first son of Lee Jae-myeon. He lived in Songjeong Sarang-Chae at the back of Norok Dang before moving to Unhyeongung. In 1896, right after the Eulmi Incident, he went to Japan to study modern sciences and returned to his home country after 12 years in 1908, after which he lived at Unhyeongung. In 1917, he passed away at age 47, 5 years after his father, Lee Jae-myeon's, death. Lee Jun-yong passed away without an heir. Lee Woo, who was son of King Uichin, the fifth son of Gojong, was chosen to be an adopted son. Lee (1883-1978), wife of Lee Jae-myeon, was intended to take care of the household of Unhyeongung, but Gyesil Gwangsan Kim of Lee Jun-yong, who was the granddaughter-in-law of Daewongun, managed all the housework.
4th GenerationLee Woo (1912~1943)
Huengyoung Gun Lee Woo was 5 years old when he was adopted by Lee Jun-yong. At age 10, he went to Japan and served in the Japanese Military. The sending of Lee Jun-yong and Lee Woo to Japan was part of a political propaganda. In Japan, Lee Woo married Pak Chan-ju (1914~1995), who was Pak Young-hyo's great-granddaughter.
5th GenerationLee Chung (1936~)
Lee Woo's eldest son, Lee Chung, is Heungseon Daewongun's 5th generation and Gojong's 4th generation descendant. Outwardly, his appearance show similarities to Gojong and he carries himself as a royal descendant should. Lee Chung grew up in Japan and did not live his childhood at Unhyeongung, but stayed there on occasional trips that were granted to Korea. Lee Chung became the owner of Unhyeongung in 1948. Difficulties in managing Unhyeongung resulted in the City of Seoul taking over management in 1993, and now, it is operating as the Capital of Seoul's 600-Year Anniversary Project.

Ora tocca a voi. Che ne pensate?
Today, I am honored of wearing a suit by LBM 1911, one of the companies that has always represented the Italian male style, the real one. Blue and burgundy plaid jacket, single-breasted waistcoat and white pants are a perfect match, refined and elegant, for those who want to stand out from the boring mass, without excess. Combined with a hat by Doria, historic brand of hats, this outfit is typical of summer days. Now it's up to you. What do you think about it?


My father always told me that "money can't buy happiness, but it can sure prevent a lot of unhappiness." While our beliefs and priorities don't always align, I've found this to be a fairly true statement. Watching friends and family chase after money at the expense of their relationships, ethics, and even their physical well-being had for some time soured my own relationship with money. I didn't want to be rich, and any money I made would either go to bills or my fun fund.
I eventually learned that the way I was treating money — as an expendable resource I could abuse to the nth extent because it "didn't matter" and I didn't care about it — was not any more healthy than needlessly chasing money in excess. A healthy relationship with money involves understanding your practical need for it both now and in the future, as well as the difference between what you need and what you want.
For all intents and purposes, we're going to define success in two different ways. First we'll define it not as pouring money into your savings account, but as keeping more in your pocket.
A big focus of this article will be defining your wants and needs. I don't think anyone will tell you there's anything wrong spending your money on your non-essential wants, but there is such a thing as excess. I've found that excess comes from prioritizing things you don't need as if you do need them.
You don't need to get food from the most expensive places. Your social life doesn't need to revolve around costly bars, restaurants, and activities. And frankly, your home doesn't need to be filled with things. There may not be anything inherently wrong with collecting, but how much collecting do you do, and is it getting in the way of your actual needs? Food? Bills? Gas for your car? Do you have any extra in your pocket, or are you living paycheck to paycheck?
You need to have money for immediate hiccups and emergencies that come up. You shouldn't be in a position where you're always relying on your savings or credit and debt for immediate emergencies. Some people have an emergency fund, but even then, you never know what will come up and you should save that fund for the worst of the worst unexpected expenses.
Second, let's talk about saving for your future. If you're not putting money into a savings account at least, you're sabotaging yourself. Whether the money becomes an emergency fund itself or gets used on a bigger purchase such as a vacation, you need to build one up so you never find yourself in a situation in which you are forced to go into debt.
Now of course, there may be moments when you need to take a loan. If your savings account doesn't have enough money in it to cover what you need, then a loan may be completely necessary. But savings exist so those days are few and far between! For these reasons, it's equally important to forego some unnecessary purchases and put money into savings. Trust me, your future self will save you.
Don't get me wrong — a little credit is good. Taking out a loan on a house is nearly impossible without good credit. It's recommended by realtors fairly often actually. For the house-buyer reason alone, it's a good plan. However, if you ever do need to take out a loan for something you can't afford with any savings or emergency fund, you'll want some credit to back up your ability to pay it back and the trustworthiness of your word.
All that said, your credit card should not be any kind of a safety net for you, and it shouldn't be a "buy whatever I want whenever" card because your next paycheck hasn't come in. Think about your life like your business. Would you spend business credit on meaningless expenses? Of course not, your business would go bankrupt! Apply that same concept to your own spending so you don't have to go bankrupt. I think it's generally a good idea to only use your credit when you can pay it back relatively soon or when you already have the money to pay it back.
Me, personally? I keep my credit card in my sock drawer (don't tell your sketchy cousin). I've seen too many people have to go through vigorous steps to repair their credit. I saw how attractive quick borrowing was to me when I put $500 down on something I didn't need, then ended up with a car bill that maxed out my credit card. I still use it occasionally to build up credit, but in general I try to keep away from that stuff. I recommend you do the same.
Most people don't need more than one credit card. Go ahead and cancel all of those extra suckers and chop 'em up. Second, I would recommend allowing yourself a smaller amount of cash to spend per outing. That way, once you're done, you're done. Of course you may find yourself needing a debit card for emergencies, but as a rule for yourself, try to only spend a small amount of cash. Rules like this can save you a lot of trouble that we naturally get into with wanting things and tendencies toward excess, as well as build up your credit for a better future.
The thing you have to understand about saving is that it's a permanent choice. Your success as a person means being smart with your money for the rest of your life — that's a long time! But you need to understand, this will ultimately help you in the long run.
How do you make something new into a long-term thing? You can't exactly put a ring on intangible concepts. However, you can do the same thing you did with your poor spending choices — you can make your good spending choices into habits.
So much of a healthy relationship with money is understanding that it's there for you in the long run — to keep you fed and secure. To create a habit around something, you have to change your mindset around it. Practice changing your mindset around money by catering your words and conversations about it in a more responsible fashion. Hopefully your actions will follow. As you talk differently about it, make concerted efforts to be better at spending. Those two things working together will hopefully turn your relationship with money from something toxic and draining to something beneficial and secure.
What is your relationship with money like? How has it changed and evolved? How would you recommend someone with an unhealthy relationship with money to get out of it? Let us know in the comments below!

Local authority loan scheme available for private rental property improvements
News Local authority loan scheme available for private rental property improvements
Private landlords need to make sure their properties are up to the required energy performance standards Photo by Alissa Eady on Unsplash
Council offers financial help to private landlords needing to comply with tighter energy performance regulations
Private landlords in East Devon who own properties that have an F-G Energy Performance rating and who have tenants moving in/existing tenancies being renewed, need to act now to improve the energy performance of their properties if they are to comply with Government regulations. Because from April 2018, the majority of rented properties will need to have an Energy Performance certificate rated A-E.
The private rented sector has the poorest level of energy efficiency in the UK, so East Devon District Council is offering a helping hand to landlords who might struggle financially to make energy efficiency improvements to their rental properties.
The council is keen to support landlords to ensure no one falls foul of the proposed new regulations and a council subsidised loan is one option for landlords considering how to fund energy efficiency works.
East Devon works in partnership with Wessex Resolutions CIC, a not for profit, local lending organisation, which manages the loan scheme on behalf of the council. The partnership has been running for over ten years across the South West. By providing loans, the council is ensuring that funds for homeowners and landlords are sustainable. This means that every repayment goes back into the council pot to lend to homeowners into the future.
Landlords looking to take out a loan, should be aware that the council loans have a fixed interest rate - typically 4.2% APR - and are subject to status. Missing future payments can affect a person's credit rating and ability to obtain credit in the future. Wessex Resolutions CIC may insist on loans being protected at the Land Registry by a Title Restriction.
Cllr Jill Elson, East Devon's portfolio holder for homes and sustainable communities, said:
The private rented sector has significantly high levels of properties, which are considered to be in poor condition - 30% of the private rented stock across the South West is considered to be of a poor standard. Lack of heating or inadequate heating and insulation contributes to poor living conditions, which can affect the health and wellbeing of tenants.
This financial assistance through Wessex Resolutions provides support to landlords to improve their properties so that they can continue to rent their properties into the future, knowing that that their properties will be providing safe and healthy homes. The recycling of these funds is such a great benefit to the East Devon community and in particular those people in need.
Andrew Wallace, Managing Director at Wessex Resolutions said:
Our landlord loans are proving a popular way for landlords to finance repairs or energy efficiency improvements to their rental properties, particularly in the rural areas that we serve where keeping properties maintained and running efficiently is particularly challenging. Our team of advisers work closely with landlords and our council partners to create flexible financial solutions to the issue of funding repairs.

Halloween is one of favorite yet scary holidays for me. Let me explain! I love Halloween because I love to see the creativity of others around me when it comes to costumes and of course the candy. Yet, I am the biggest child when it comes to haunted houses and scary movies. You won't find me inside a haunted house and I'll probably be covering my eyes if I happen to watch a scary movie. BUT it is still one of my top holiday's to celebrate, yes I know the struggle is real. So today, as we go out with the ghouls and witches of the night please stay safe. Keep an eye on the little ones and please don't drink and drive after those Halloween parties. Enjoy the festivities and watch out for what lurks in the darkness!

Colin Jones Unleashes Action-Packed Music Video For New Single "Mama Dont Weep"
Mama Don't Weep EP is out on April 10th
TUNE IN TO THE IGTV PREMIERE OF 'MAMA DON'T WEEP' HERE
As both an accomplished musician and filmmaker, Colin Jones is something close to a modern renaissance man. His intrinsic knack for visual and aural aesthetics is in a class of its own, spellbinding audiences both via sight and sound. With the release of his newest EP only being days away, Jones has dropped a new, high-octane music video for the record's explosive title track, "Mama Don't Weep." A first for Colin, "Mama Don't Weep" is out now exclusively through IGTV today at 9am PST / noon EST. Catch it live HERE.

Set to the clamor of blaring brass, bluesy riffs and Colin's signature coarse, cool croon, the video for "Mama Don't Weep" is a masterful exercise in depicting rising tension through both sight and sound. As the video's stunts and action set pieces gradually mount in intensity, more and more layers of instrumental cacophony are brilliantly added into the mix. This buildup allows for both the film and music to reach a fever pitch of spectacle and catharsis simultaneously. From being chased (and hit) by a car to brutal fight choreography, Colin Jones goes out of his way to create an engrossing and impactful audiovisual experience on an arguably auteur-esque level. Seldom does the world come across an artist who understands their craft so universally well. Jones is one of those gifted few.
Upon his debut, Jones quickly gained a reputation as one of Sydney's most interesting artists, pushing him beyond Australia into the United States, where he now resides in Southern California, working on a new record that is sure to surprise anyone that hears it.
"I hope people see something of themselves in my music. Maybe they'll find a kind of truth. Something raw and unpredictable. It's fluid, and it changes, and I want it to surprise you. It's an abandoned Camaro in the middle of the desert covered in weeds and wildflowers. It's the story of how it got there."

Hemosiderosis

Hemosiderosis is focal deposition of iron that does not cause tissue damage.
(See also Overview of Iron Overload.)
Focal hemosiderosis can result from hemorrhage within an organ. Iron liberated from extravasated red blood cells is deposited within that organ, and significant hemosiderin deposits may eventually develop. Iron loss due to hemorrhage can still occur and cause iron deficiency anemia because iron stored in nonhematopoietic tissues cannot be reused.
Chronic inflammatory syndromes, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the metabolic syndrome, can also lead to hemosiderosis. In affected patients, abdominal MRI may show excess iron in the liver and spleen. Liver biopsies of these patients may show iron accumulation in hepatocytes and reticuloendothelial cells.
When the lungs are affected, the cause usually is recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage, either idiopathic (eg, Goodpasture syndrome) or due to chronic pulmonary hypertension (eg, as a result of primary pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, or severe mitral stenosis).
Another common site of accumulation is the kidneys, where hemosiderosis can result from extensive intravascular hemolysis. Free hemoglobin is filtered at the glomerulus, resulting in iron deposition in the kidneys. The renal parenchyma is not damaged, but severe hemosiderinuria may result in iron deficiency.
