This Story About Baby Archie Fixing the Royal 'Feud' Is Cracking Me Up
Associated Press AP May 15, 2019 7:05 pm May 15, 2019 Off 50
Baby Archie only arrived last week, but he's already been tasked, reportedly, with something big: fixing the so-called "feud" between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton, and Prince William.
I just…I have a lot of feelings about this. On the one hand, sure: New babies coming into a family are known to ease tensions or rifts. There's simply no time to be passive aggressive toward your annoying brother-in-law from Texas when there's a screaming child in the house. But on the other: LOL, what? Baby Archie has only been on this planet for 11 days. He shouldn't have to bother himself with his famous family's problems. All he needs to be worrying about at the present moment is napping.
According to People magazine, Baby Archie gives Prince William and Prince Harry, who have allegedly grown apart over the last few years, an opportunity to reconnect.
"William and Harry will want their children to know their cousins and do things together, so they will work harder at their relationship," a source close to the royal family tells People. "The brothers will have a different kind of relationship and move on."
Look, I get it: If a feud does exist—and that's a big if—then Baby Archie probably will help the two princes put their differences aside. But now all I'm picturing is Archie wearing a three-piece suit and playing couple's therapist to his father and uncle. In my mind, they'll all meet in Archie's vegan paint-colored nursery and hash out their issues. Archie will have to take naps every two minutes, of course, because he's a literal baby. And his counseling rate would be $500 an hour, at minimum.
I kid, I kid. Archie's arrival is obviously cause for celebration and an opportunity to mend any fences within the royal core four. Keep in mind, though, that a feud might not even exist. Royals expert Katie Nicholl told Glamour a few months back that any stories of drama between either William and Harry or Kate and Meghan are grossly exaggerated.
"I think this idea of there being a catfight between [Meghan and Kate] has made tantalizing headlines, but I don't believe that," she said. "I've never heard from my sources that there has ever been a feud or a falling-out. I had heard about an upset over the dress fitting for Princess Charlotte. And I had heard that while Harry was very keen for the two of them to become best friends, there was never that sort of a friendship."
She continued, "I think there is some truth to there having been some tension—not just between the duchesses but between the dukes, as well. As we all know, things can gather momentum pretty quickly. So while I think there's been tension, I don't believe there has been some feud."
For what it's worth, a source tells People that despite all the changes happening in the royal family (like the core four splitting offices), "There is never any doubt that [Harry and William] will be there for each other 100 percent and support each other when it matters."

Deep Cove Heritage Society's annual Indian Arm Boat Cruise will include an extraordinary feature this year: a tour of the fabled Wigwam Inn.
This historic structure sits at the north end of Indian Arm and has a fascinating and storied past. Wigwam Inn now serves as an outstation for the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and so this a rare chance to go inside the historic building.
The Indian Arm boat tour is one of the community outreach programs that the Deep Cove Heritage Society offers. In autumn, there is also a bus tour of landmarks throughout the Seymour area under the guidance of Janet Pavlik, who was instrumental in starting the Heritage group in 1970. The group also offers school programs, regular displays as well as photos from the archives that are on its website, deepcoveheritage.com.
The boat cruise this year features tour operator Mitch Bloomfield and Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, author of three history books of Belcarra, Ioco and Indian Arm, both of whom are ready to share their knowledge.
The 1982 book, The History of Indian Arm by Pam Humphreys and Steven G. Wong, covers Wigwam's history to just before it was purchased by the Yacht Club in 1985.
Wigwam Inn was conceived by Benjamin Franklin Dickens; in 1906 he purchased the land and drew up plans but did not have the capital to build. He brought in German investor Alvo von Alvensleben and it is rumoured that Kaiser Wilhelm was a backer.
The Inn, only accessible by boat, opened on June 10, 1910, with 600 people attending. A retreat for the wealthy, in April 1911, both John D. Rockefeller and John Jacob Astor signed the registration book the same day. Wigwam was a popular destination for regattas, bringing competitors from across the Pacific Northwest with races, rowing, sculling and canoe jousting.
In 1911, the first caretakers were George and Meg Dayton. One winter Meg, who was pregnant, was walking outside when she slipped, fell and hit her head on a rock. The accident caused her to go into labour two months early and she fell into a coma. While waiting on the dock for a doctor, George alerted an elderly First Nations woman who was fishing. She went to Meg's room and two hours later they heard a baby; both Meg and the baby were saved.
The baby, Marguerite (Dayton) West, became a writer in Victoria. Her obituary in the Victoria Times Colonist on March 19, 2006, states she was the first Caucasian baby born in Indian Arm.
Von Alvensleben returned to Germany in 1914 to raise money but when war was declared between Britain and Germany he could not return, so he moved to Seattle. The Canadian government confiscated his holdings; the Inn was taken over by the Custodian of Enemy Property and purchased by a private purchaser.
In the mid-1920s Capt. Stalker of Harbour Navigation took over the lease and Mrs. Margaret McAuliffe became the manager for the next 17 years along with her son, Marcus. A cook, Lee Yeun, came for the summer seasons and was their undisputed king of the kitchen for 25 years.
During the 1930s the Wigwam was given a new roof and new beds – spring mattresses instead of felt pads. The facelift also saw the gardens re-landscaped, water systems improved and a second dock put in.
After the Great Depression ended and the Second World War began, jobs were more plentiful and people began returning to the Wigwam mainly for day trips. Celebrities such as W.C. Fields and Lister Sinclair paid it visits.
Cpt. Stalker sold it in 1951, the new owners obtained a liquor licence (the Inn had been dry since prohibition) and advertised it not for the scenery but for dancing and partying.
More new owners in the 1960s improved docks and added a swimming pool. However, it was discovered that it had become a major gambling casino; two boats of RCMP officers raided it in the night and 15 people were arrested.
Wigwam Inn sat abandoned, ransacked by boaters; hippies moved in and used oak floors and bannisters in the fireplace. Plans to demolish it fortunately did not happen. It was used as a film location for the movie The Grove, then sat empty until 1972 when it was purchased by Tony Casano of Arjay Developments. Casano spent seven years working to restore the Wigwam, selling it in December 1979 and knowing it would not be torn down.
By 1985 it was purchased by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club as a members' private outstation.
There are other stories about Wigwam such as an apparent slashing and killing of one guest by another; the Ghost of Martha, who disappeared when walking her dog, and the rumours that Al Capone hid at the Inn.

Barta'a (: , : בַּרְטַּעָה) es una ciudad dividida entre Israel y Palestina que se expande a ambos lados de la Línea Verde, a unos tres kilómetros al este del Uadi Ara, entre las ciudades israelíes de Afula y Hadera, en una zona mayoritariamente árabe conocida como el Triángulo. La ciudad ha crecido en dos laderas opuestas separadas por un riachuelo, el Wadi al-Umiya.

La Barta'a occidental (Barta'a al-Gharbiyah) se encuentra en el Distrito de Haifa, en Israel, y forma parte del concejo local de Basma. Sus 4.700 habitantes son ciudadanos árabes de Israel.

La Barta'a oriental (Barta'a al-Sharkiyah) se encuentra al norte de la Gobernación de Yenín, en la región de Cisjordania del Estado de Palestina. Según los Acuerdos de Oslo, la Barta'a palestina se ubica en la denominada Zona C, de control militar y administrativo israelí. El censo de 2007 llevado a cabo por la Oficina Central de Estadísticas de Palestina arroja la cifra de 4.176 habitantes para la Barta'a palestina, de los que un 30 o 40 por ciento tienen nacionalidad israelí, mientras que el resto portan pasaporte palestino.

Etimología
La aldea recibió su nombre de un hawali (hombre santo), el Jeque Muhammad, enterrado en la cumbre de una de las colinas en cuyas laderas se asienta el municipio. El Jeque Muhammad fue un explorador del ejército de Saladino en sus campañas contra los cruzados. Cuando volvía victorioso de las batallas realizaba notorios gestos de júbilo, por lo que la gente dio en llamarlo bart'a ash-Sheikh, "el jeque que salta de alegría".

Historia
En 1882, durante la época de control otomano, el Estudio de Palestina Occidental del Fondo para la Exploración de Palestina describió Barta'a como "un pueblo árabe en ruinas en lo alto de una colina, con un manantial en el valle que queda al norte, a unos 400 pies más abajo." El pueblo de Barta'a fue fundado a mediados del  por miembros de la tribu Kabha, cuya antigüedad data al menos del siglo XVIII. Según la tradición oral, la tribu se trasladó a mediados de dicho siglo de Beit Jibrin a Ya'bad. Bien entrado el siglo XIX, algunos de los miembros de este clan abandonaron Ya'bad en busca de una zona donde vivir y compraron tierras en Barta'a, donde encontraron un manantial y pastos. Con el tiempo, Barta'a se desarrolló y se vio rodeada pueblos satélite, también pertenecientes a miembros de la tribu Kabha: Umm al-Qutuf, 'Ein al-Sahala, Wadi' Ara y Tura al-Arabiya.

En el censo de Palestina de 1922, llevado a cabo por las autoridades del Mandato Británico de Palestina, Barta'a tenía una población de 468 habitantes, todos ellos musulmanes. Esta cifra había crecido en el censo de 1931, cuando 692 personas fueron censadas en la localidad (una vez más, todas musulmanas), que vivían en 94 hogares.

En 1945, Barta'a (incluida Khirbat Tura el Gharbiya) tenía una población de aproximadamente 1.000 musulmanes y un total de 20.499 dunams (20,5 kilómetros cuadrados) de superficie, según un estudio oficial de tierra y población. De estos, 464 dunams se usaban para plantaciones y tierras de regadío, mientras que 1.957 dunams estaban dedicados a cereales y otros 1.900 eran tierra no cultivable.

Israel - Ocupación jordana
Tras la guerra árabe-israelí de 1948, la aldea de Barta'a quedó dividida por la línea del armisticio de 1949. La parte noroccidental (que contaba con unos 500 habitantes, un tercio del total) quedó bajo control israelí, mientras que la parte suroriental (con unos 1.000 habitantes) se mantuvo bajo control jordano. Cuando se diseñaron las líneas del armisticio de 1949, Barta'a era una aldea tan pequeña que no salía en los mapas, por lo que nadie advirtió que las fronteras recién creadas, basadas en el trazado natural de un riachuelo llamado Wadi al-Umiya, partirían el pueblo en dos. El manantial del pueblo quedó del lado israelí, y la mezquita del lado jordano. La distancia entre las casas de la Barta'a israelí y la Barta'a jordana era de apenas unas docenas de metros, y en algunos lugares de tan solo unos cuantos metros.

Durante los primeros años posteriores a la división de la aldea, sus habitantes podían moverse libremente de un lado a otro de esta. Los residentes solían ir a la mezquita situada del lado jordano, y había un solo mukhtar a cargo de ambos lados de la aldea. Por todo esto, la ciudad se convirtió en un punto de encuentro ideal entre los palestinos que habían quedado del lado israelí de la frontera y aquellos que habían huido o habían sido expulsados a Jordania. De 1949 a 1967, el acceso de una parte de la ciudad a la otra se fue haciendo cada vez más difícil. En mayo de 1955, las autoridades jordanas evacuaron a los refugiados palestinos que se habían asentado en la Barta'a oriental para dificultar el contrabando con Israel. En marzo de 1956 tuvo lugar un importante incidente en la frontera que dio como resultado un policía israelí y cuatro ciudadanos jordanos muertos. Este y otros incidentes acabaron por imponer una frontera real entre ambas partes. Se construyó un canal que llevaba el agua del manantial en la Barta'a occidental al centro de la Barta'a oriental. En una ocasión, en 1964, un oficial jordano permitió durante tres horas el reencuentro entre los ciudadanos de ambas partes del pueblo.

Israel - Ocupación israelí
Tras su victoria en la Guerra de los seis días de 1967, Israel ocupó militarmente Cisjordania, la Franja de Gaza, Jerusalén Este, los Altos del Golán y la Península del Sinaí. Salvo esta última, que fue devuelta a Egipto en el marco de los Acuerdos de Paz de Camp David en 1978, el resto siguen estado consideradas por la ONU a día de hoy como territorios ocupados. Como consecuencia de la ocupación israelí de Cisjordania, las dos partes de la aldea de Barta'a volvieron a unirse en una sola de manera informal, funcionando como una sola entidad municipal. Dado que gran parte de los habitantes de ambas partes de la aldea pertenecen al clan de la familia Kabha, esta "reunificación" de facto fue generalmente considerada como positiva por dichos habitantes. Los habitantes de la Barta'a oriental comenzaron a trabajar en Israel y la agricultura se convirtió en una segunda fuente de ingresos. Gracias a su proximidad y a sus lazos con Israel, el nivel de vida de la Barta'a oriental subió a una velocidad más alta que en el resto de Cisjordania. En 1978, Barta'a oriental fue conectada a una red eléctrica proveniente de generadores y en 1984 a la red eléctrica israelí. Los alumnos de Barta'a estudian en institutos de Ya'bad y Yenín.

Tras el estallido de la Primera Intifada a finales de los años ochenta, a la gran mayoría de la población de la Barta'a oriental se le prohibió entrar en Israel, lo que incluía la Barta'a occidental. Durante la Segunda Intifada, el 18 de junio de 2002, un habitante de la Barta'a israelí llamado Ayman Kabha falleció en Jerusalén como consecuencia de la explosión de un hombre bomba palestino. Un año después, el 25 de julio de 2003, una familia de la Barta'a palestina esperaba en su coche en un control israelí cuando un tanque les disparó un proyectil por error; el niño de 3 años Mahmoud Jawdat Sharif Kabha murió a consecuencia de las heridas sufridas. Tras la Segunda Intifada, el pueblo de Barta'a se convirtió en un importante núcleo comercial para los residentes del Uadi Ara y para una parte importante de los habitantes de la Galilea, que viajan a esta ciudad para comprar bienes más baratos debido a los precios existentes en la Autoridad Nacional Palestina. Muchos empresarios cisjordanos, especialmente de las ciudades vecinas de Yenín y Tulkarem, reubicaron sus negocios en Barta'a, que forma parte de la Autoridad Nacional Palestina pero tiene acceso y proximidad a los mercados de la zona del Uadi Ara.

Con la construcción del muro israelí de separación, la Barta'a oriental se convirtió en un enclave al quedar del lado occidental de la muralla, por lo que las visitas de israelíes en busca de productos más baratos se incrementaron. Muchas de las casas del pueblo se convirtieron en tiendas y almacenes de merchandising, y unos cuantos de sus habitantes se enriquecieron. La barrera se comenzó a construir en 2003 e inicialmente dividió la parte israelí de la palestina a la misma vez que separaba (y sigue separando) a esta última del resto de Cisjordania. Desde entonces, aunque ya no hay una barrera física entre ambas partes, sus habitantes tienen prohibido entrar en Israel so pena de fuertes multas e incluso de cárcel; en cualquier caso, según el diario israelí Haaretz, la mayoría de la población hace caso omiso de estas restricciones. Su conexión con el resto de Cisjordania se encuentra severamente afectada por el muro, que solo pueden cruzar tras solicitar un permiso militar especial y tras varias horas de espera e inspecciones. A día de hoy, la ciudad se encuentra gobernada por dos ayuntamientos distintos: uno israelí y otro palestino.

Como consecuencia de la situación de enclave de la Barta'a palestina, la Media Luna Roja Palestina ha identificado una vulnerabilidad psicológica especialmente alta entre los niños y adolescentes de la Barta'a palestina, con altos niveles de depresión, dificultades del aprendizaje y fracaso escolar; en el caso de los adolescentes también se ha observado una mayor incidencia de comportamientos violentos, introversión y ansiedad.

En 2011 hubo una importante filtración de documentos clasificados relacionados con el proceso de paz entre palestinos e israelíes que se dio en llamar los Papeles de Palestina. Esta filtración desveló la disponibilidad de Israel a ceder su parte de Barta'a a un futuro estado de Palestina a cambio de algunos de sus asentamientos en Cisjordania y Jerusalén Este. La posibilidad tuvo una acogida mixta en el pueblo; mientras que unos favorecieron la idea porque supondría la reunificación definitiva de Barta'a, otros decían identificarse ya con su nacionalidad israelí.

I'm a tech journalist at TechCrunch, focusing on European startups, companies and products. It's my second spell at TechCrunch after trying my hand at startup life to co-found a VC-backed company back in 2012.
I've also written for numerous other publications, including ZDnet, Macworld, The Guardian, and ReadWrite. In 2006 I wrote, directed and edited the documentary 'In Search of the Valley'. Prior to journalism I was an e-learning consultant, web developer and digital arts teacher.
Outside of my day job I write and produce music, and this is a big part of my setup. I'm currently finishing up an album with friends that I plan to release later this year. This will hopefully include a run of vinyl, and possibly a crowdfunding campaign to help finance the mastering process and album's release.
At the heart of everything I do is a MacBook Pro (2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with Retina display) in Space Grey. It has the 'Touch Bar,' which I rarely use, and is undoubtedly overpriced for the spec. However, I've always preferred Macs -- even sticking with Apple through the mid 90s when things weren't good -- and my home recording studio is built around the music software Logic Pro X, meaning I'm somewhat locked into Apple hardware.
The MacBook is also my writing tool of choice in my job as a journalist, although, apart from the need to run Skype and a few other bits of software, I could happily get away with a Chromebook or any laptop that can run a modern browser.
The rest of my studio is made up of a very old 'Firewire' audio interface (the original MOTU 828), a pair of now discontinued HHB Circle 5 passive monitor speakers, a cheap Cambridge Audio amp, an outboard valve compressor (the original TLA Ivory 5021) that I mainly use as a DI box for guitars, and a Rode NT1-A microphone. Notably, I don't have an outboard mixer (I ditched my digital 16 channel mixer years ago) as I prefer to mix 'in the box' (ie in software).
Most recently I added an Avantone MixCube Active mono speaker. It is a modern take on a so-called 'grotbox' -- a speaker designed to mimic lower‑quality, consumer‑style speakers so that you'll have a better idea how your mix will sound when heard in typical real‑world listening situations. Or, put another way, a speaker that sounds so crap it will make you work a lot harder to get your final mixes sounding good, even on speakers that have little or no bass response and tend to really overemphasise midrange frequencies.
I'm a keyboard player so I have a few musical instruments and effects. This includes a basic USB MIDI keyboard (IK Multimedia iRig 37), a tonewheel organ simulator (Ferrofish B4000+), a Leslie Speaker simulator (Neo Instruments Vent II), and an analogue synth (Arturia MicroBrute). I also have an analogue drum machine with a step sequencer that I bought in a sale and have hardly touched since (Korg volca beats).
The other crucial tool for my day job is my trusty iPhone SE. Despite being a Mac person, this is only my second iPhone, having previously used phones by BlackBerry, Nokia, and Handspring/Palm because of my then preference for a physical keyboard (I write a lot of emails). I've also recently invested in a Gemini PDA, a new smartphone with a keyboard that is inspired by original devices by Psion.
To do my job as a journalist, I rely almost exclusively on the cloud. Things like WordPress, Google Docs, and Gmail. For communications, I use Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, Skype, and Convo, for both internal and external chat with colleagues and subjects/sources. I spend a lot of time on Twitter, too, as a way to track news, talk to other people in the tech industry, cultivate sources and promote the articles I publish. LinkedIn is also quite useful when researching people or reaching out for comment. And Spotify keeps me company throughout my working day.
As mentioned, my studio is built around Logic Pro X. I've also invested in a huge amount of software effects, including tons of plugins from Waves. I also purchased Native Instruments Komplete 10 a while back, mostly for the acoustic piano virtual instruments and to compose horn parts. Most recently I added Toontrack Superior Drummer 3, which is hands-down the best software for powering an electronic drum kit or programming your own natural-sounding drum parts (honestly, it sounds amazing).
I don't have a lot of gear-lust left these days. But if you had a gun to my head, I'd always buy the most powerful MacBook possible and/or possibly an iMac Pro. I would also like to upgrade my ageing audio interface to Thunderbolt 3 with a higher sample rate (recording quality). And I'd probably replace my HHB Circle 5s with active speakers from Adam Audio. My dream setup would really be to have my studio relocated to a more spacious room and one that has been acoustically treated and has a separate live room and/or vocal recording booth.

College Grads: Are you comfortable asking employers probing questions?
Over this past year I have interviewed many Gen Yers that have been working from one to five years. Do you know one of the biggest regrets they had? That they didn't take the opportunity during an interview to ask employers questions about working there.
Today, you can find countless articles and blogs where Gen Yers talk about their disappointment and disillusionment when they enter the workplace. All college grads are encouraged to prepare intensely for their interviews with employers. But what isn't discussed much is what college grads should be doing to prepare themselves for the SHOCK of working as an employee.
College never prepares you for what corporate life will be. The marketing messages to college grads on corporate websites paint a rosy picture about working there. That's what marketing messages are supposed to do. But the insider reality of working as a full-time employee is not often as rosy as the marketing hype suggests. There are a lot of things that are not great about the workplace. Anyone who has worked for any amount of time will tell you that. But it sure helps a lot when you know upfront what you are getting yourelf into. That always lessens the SHOCK of the job.
Here's an inside secret that is not comonly talked about. All companies have warts (and some have more than others). Warts are things that you, as an employee, have to tolerate. We all tolerate different things; you need to determine if the company has the particular variety of warts you can tolerate. The way to do that is to come up with a list of questions that you ask prospective employers to get a sense of their particular warts and determine if they are tolerable for you.
In this tight job market, college grads may not have the luxury of picking an employer whose warts are tolerable. That's okay. The Gen Yers I interviewed believed that if they at least had known what to expect, it would have gone a long way to lowering the SHOCK factor in transitioning from their college to workplace experience. Although it's important to get a job, what good is it if you are miserable from the start?
These Wise Gen Ys told me that as interviewees, college grads have a unique opportunity to probe employers and try to understand what it would be like to work there. Instead, that opportunity is often lost because the focus is to be prepared to answer challenging and probing questions rather than ask them.
If the questions you ask uncover that a particular company's warts are not in your "tolerance range" but you still need to take the job if it's offered to you, at least you are going in with a huge advantage in that you know what to expect. Gen Yers on the job state that not knowing caused them to spend months trying to get over the SHOCK and trying to figure things out. Knowing ahead of time and not going in blind would have helped them tremendously.

Bobby Flay's Alleged Cheating Scandals Explained
If you are an avid viewer of the Food Network and the Cooking Channel, you are more than familiar with chef Bobby Flay. Flay has appeared on shows such as Iron Chef, Brunch at Bobby's, Boy Meets Grill, and BBQ with Bobby Flay. He currently stars on Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction, and Worst Cooks in America. If you had not guessed by now, Flay really loves his meat and barbecue.
However, Flay's personal life has become just as spicy as his barbecue. The celebrity chef has been married three times, most recently to former Law & Order: SVU actress Stephanie March, whom he wed in February 2005. But things between the two hit a significant bump in the road when Flay reportedly attended the South Beach Wine & Food Fest in February 2015 with his assistant, which, per Page Six, just happened to coincide with March and Flay's wedding anniversary. Find out why Bobby Flay ended up on the chopping block below.
The knives came out during Bobby Flay's split from Stephanie March
In the spring of 2015, Stephanie March dropped Bobby Flay like a hot potato when she filed for divorce after discovering he was allegedly cheating on her with his assistant, Page Six reported. Flay had reportedly been involved with 28-year-old singer and actress Elyse Tirrell for three years. Tirrell worked at one of Flay's New York City restaurants — Bar American — in 2008, before he ultimately hired her as his assistant.
At the time the news broke, a spokesperson for the celebrity chef defended Flay, telling the outlet, "We will continue to refrain from responding to the continued efforts by certain parties to spread rumors and innuendo. This specific allegation was in a letter sent from one attorney in this case to the other. It was written and then leaked specifically to try to insert this story into the press, and that's unfortunate," they added. "Even more unfortunate is that all of this is being done in order to renegotiate a prenuptial agreement that was agreed to over a decade ago and never amended during the marriage."
The couple's prenup allotted $5,000 a month in alimony, which March's lawyers were reportedly contesting, per Page Six. While Bobby Flay and Stephanie March's divorce got off to a sloppy start, things got even messier quickly. Keep reading for what both sides had to say.
Bobby Flay and Stephanie March's divorce got (over)heated
According to Bobby Flay's business partner, Laurence Kretchmer, he would have known about Flay's affair if there was one. Kretchmer implied that there was more to the story, telling Page Six, "As ugly as Stephanie is going to look [when this news comes out], she will look uglier when other things come out." TMZ reported that the couple's marriage had been in trouble for quite some time and, in March 2014, Flay's wife had reached her limit when her appendix burst, and Flay did not visit her in the hospital until the following day. Once he finally arrived, he skedaddled out of town before she was even discharged, blaming his early exit on a work commitment.
One reason March contested her prenup with Flay was due to her medical issues, which included an appendectomy, endometriosis, and failed breast augmentation surgery. Because of complications from her medical problems, she was unable to continue acting, per TMZ. As a result of not being able to work, the existing prenup would not be able to cover her financial needs.
But, just when you thought Stephanie March and Bobby Flay's divorce could not get any messier, the name of a former Mad Men actress popped up in the couple's divorce filing. Keep scrolling for all the details.
Bobby Flay's ex-wife claims he had an affair with January Jones
In divorce papers filed by Stephanie March concerning her divorce from Bobby Flay, the actress alleged that Flay had an affair with Mad Men star January Jones in early 2010. A source told In Touch Weekly, "She [March] says they had sex many times and in different places," including The London Hotel in Los Angeles.
Rumors about Flay and Jones had been floating around Hollywood ever since Jones crashed her Range Rover into three parked cars in June 2010. Following the accident, instead of calling the police, she rang celebrity chef Bobby Flay, per TMZ. Flay claimed that he had only met Jones once before, and she only had his number because she wanted him to connect with the interior designer working on her kitchen remodel. Despite Flay reportedly not knowing Jones very well, he drove to the scene of the accident. Totally normal.
The New York Daily News reported that, after the crash occurred, March did confront Flay about Jones, asking him if they had slept with one another, which he denied. What complicates March's accusation of the alleged affair between Flay and Jones is that, per Inquisitr, March also suspects Flay is the father of Jones' baby Xander, born in September 2011. Jones has never divulged the identity of her son's father. While Bobby Flay has never acknowledged or admitted he cheated during his marriage to Stephanie March, someone wanted to make sure he was branded a cheater. More on that below.

Two months after Stephanie March filed for divorce from chef Bobby Flay, accusing him of having affairs with multiple women, Flay was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — a day that every recipient surely remembers and cherishes. However, Flay might remember his day for slightly different reasons.
Flay might have been the first celebrity to chef to receive a star on the Walk of Fame, but the ceremony most likely left a bad taste in his mouth. As Flay was giving his speech, a plane flew overhead pulling a banner that read "cheater." Ouch! That burn had to hurt. According to Entertainment Tonight, neither Flay nor his family drew any attention to the banner during the ceremony. During his nasty divorce battle from Stephanie March, however, many assumed that March was behind the plane banner stunt. In a statement to Us Weekly, March's attorney, Deborah Lans, said, "Stephanie is absolutely not behind [this]."
In July 2015, Flay and March came to a divorce settlement, with TMZ noting that the actress ended up with a much better deal than the previously signed prenup. Sources told TMZ that Flay wanted to avoid a public trial, so March ended up having the upper hand during negotiations. Since their split was finalized, Stephanie March married tech investor Dan Barton in 2017, while Flay remains single. At this point, another marriage might be too hot for Bobby Flay to handle.

A young boy has died while on a family holiday on the Greek island of Kos.
Theo Treharne-Jones is thought to have died at the Atlantica Holiday Village resort on Saturday.
The five-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil attended Greenfield School in Pentrebach.
The leader of Merthyr Tydfil Council offered his "thoughts and prayers" to Theo's family in a statement released on Tuesday.
Greenfield Special School, Merthyr Tydfil
A spokeswoman for holiday operator Tui said: "We are aware of the tragic incident at the Holiday Village Kos, Greece and our thoughts are with the family. Our team in resort is currently supporting the family and we will continue to assist in whatever way we can.
"The safety and wellbeing of our customers and staff is our primary concern and our dedicated resort team is working with the authorities and hoteliers. As the matter is currently still under investigation it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
Wayne Murphy, head teacher of Greenfield School said: "I am aware of these tragic events and the loss of this lovely little boy, who brought laughter and happiness to everyone.
"Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to the family and friends at this tragic time."

A spokesman for Merthyr Tydfil council said: "It is with great sadness that the local authority has heard of the death of one of its young pupils - Theo Treharne-Jones - whilst on holiday on holiday with his family on Kos.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this tragic time.
"The local authority will be supporting the staff at Theo's school and his fellow pupils, as well as supporting the schools which his siblings attend in the county borough."
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office official said: "We are supporting the family of a British child who died in Kos, Greece, and our staff are in touch with the local authorities."
The Sun quoted a spokesman for police in Greece as saying: "It is common for next of kin to be arrested in such circumstances but as is always the case, they were not held in police custody and were immediately freed."

D.C. Officials at Odds with Feds over Immigration Raids
by Stacy M. Brown October 18, 2017 October 31, 2020

After federal law enforcement officials conducted raids targeting undocumented immigrants in cities across the country this month, D.C. Council member David Grosso and Mayor Muriel Bowser have increased efforts to assist those put in peril by President Donald Trump's administration's mandate to rid the U.S. of those who come here seeking a better life.
The raids were carried out in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Baltimore and D.C., where 14 undocumented immigrants reportedly were arrested. Authorities claim those 14 individuals had prior criminal convictions, including felonies.
However, Grosso countered that the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials were unwarranted.
"I think if people commit criminal acts they should be held accountable for that and they should be arrested. That doesn't mean that we should treat somebody whose undocumented different than somebody who's here legally and who is a citizen of the United States," said Grosso, who took his message to television, newspapers and other media.
The at-large councilman and his colleagues, along with Bowser, have provided $500,000 annually in new funds for legal services to aid undocumented immigrants.
"We probably need to put more money behind that effort," Grosso said. "I just think when the federal government goes looking for problems like this, they end up creating more problems than creating solutions for our community," he said.
Meanwhile, protesters took to the streets of the District to voice their concerns. Some told television news crews that city officials weren't doing enough to protect undocumented immigrants. At a news conference, Bowser condemned the raids.
"I asked the chief if we had been alerted by ICE or were aware of any unusual raid activity and we are not," Bowser said. "So what we want to make clear to everyone is we have trained all of our people about how to respond, for example, if ICE shows up at one of our buildings — school building, a shelter or hospital. … But we haven't been notified about any specific action by ICE."
During what it dubbed "Operation Safe City," ICE officials said they made nearly 500 arrests in "sanctuary cities," or jurisdictions that limit their cooperation with federal deportation efforts.
"Sanctuary jurisdictions that do not honor detainers or allow us access to jails and prisons are shielding criminal aliens from immigration enforcement and creating a magnet for illegal immigration," said ICE acting Director Tom Homan in a news release. "As a result, ICE is forced to dedicate more resources to conduct at-large arrests in these communities."
The District reportedly has about 70,000 immigrants, and approximately 25,000 are undocumented.
"[The ICE raids] are an unacceptable attempt, motivated by fear and xenophobia, to solve the larger question of immigration in our country without having to do any of the hard work that is required of elected leaders," Grosso said.
He called the raids an "assault on our communities" and urged any of those arrested, or anyone who knows them, to contact his office at 202-724-8105 for legal help.

A Must-Read For Anybody Shopping For Engagement Rings!
When shopping for engagement rings, a lot of guys (and women, too) make the mistake of searching for the "top jewelry stores" in the nation.
You can't blame them. They want the absolute best for their partners. The best jewelry from the biggest, most recognizable names in the industry. But you may be surprised to find out that these stores aren't as good as you think they are.
When it comes to engagement rings, the "top jewelry stores" shouldn't be determined by how many chains they have, how many commercials they run or how many millions of dollars they make each year. In fact, when you choose one of the largest jewelry retailers (the stores you see on TV and in the mall), there's a good chance your ring will actually be very poorly made, despite what the salesman tells you!
Here's what you need to know about these stores, why to avoid them, and where you can get a much more beautiful, exceptionally made ring that your woman will cherish forever.
1. The jewelry is mass-produced.
There's a reason why the so-called top jewelry stores (Related News) all carry the same inventory in each of their shops. Virtually every piece of jewelry you see in these stores is produced in mass quantities for customers all over the world. This enables the powerhouse jewelry companies to sell the same popular items at every location and advertise those items prominently across the country.
2. Hundreds of women could have the same exact ring.
Because the jewelry is mass-produced, that means that the same ring you're buying could be worn by hundreds of other women. The ring might look beautiful, but really there is nothing special about it at all. There are potentially thousands of duplicates just like it.
3. The jewelry is made overseas.
4. The quality is very bad.
What happens when jewelry companies skimp on production costs and hire low-wage workers to manufacture the jewelry along assembly lines? Quality is sacrificed – big time. These workers are paid to churn out the products as quickly as possible. They don't care about you or your beautiful wedding plans. They just need to hit their daily quotas and they'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
5. Details are virtually nonexistent.
This is also why most of the jewelry found in today's big-name jewelry stores are so "plain." The exquisite detail and designs found in antique engagement rings are simply too expensive for these companies to produce today.
If you're serious about choosing a ring that is truly special, avoid the national franchises and consider having your engagement ring custom made, just for you, by a skilled designer like Vanessa Nicole.
At Vanessa's design studio in San Diego, we custom-design and manufacture gorgeous engagement rings, one at a time, for customers all over the world. The quality, attention to detail and personalized service you receive is simply unmatched in today's jewelry industry.
Contact us today to see how easy it is to have your ring custom-made and make the "Yes!" moment even more special!


Great photo! It's no wonder he needed that fancy fender brace if he made a habit of sitting on the fender like that.
I told you to stop for gas at that last town.
"Wadda ya mean they won't let us inta Calaforny?"
From the looks of those Joshua trees in the background, they've made it to Califony. That's the major disappointment -- Californy is mostly desert and probably not as nice as where they came from.
what drew me to this iconic image of Americana.
Is the fender sitter about 6'5" and 300lbs of NBA star material in a giant hat ???
Texas - 1931 the way I see it. The hat would fit in too.
I believe that 1937 is the only year that the Texas farm truck plate with "farm" on a diagonal had light digits over a dark background.
Could be a seven. And would fit into the Great Depression and Dust Bowl time frame. The photo captures the look of discouragement from that era.
My folks moved to California when they got married in 1936. Mom told of heading west with her head filled with tourism pictures of orange trees and vast fields of wildflowers. Crossing the river at Needles and seeing reality showed her that those pictures didn't apply to the whole state.

The Weird Week in Review
BY Miss Cellania
No Wife for World's Worst Student
74-year-old Shiv Charan made a vow that he would not take a wife until he passed India's year 10 school exams. That was in 1969. Charan has taken the exams almost every year since then, and has failed 38 times. This year, he failed all but one subject, Hindi.
"As long as I am alive I will go on giving examinations in order to get a wife," he said.
Asked if he was ready to give up his quest, he said: "Better to die than go back on your word."
Frantic Rescue Effort Saves Doll
Police in Gympie, Australia broke through a car window to save what they thought was an unconscious baby locked inside. The 'baby" turned out to be one of the extremely life-like dolls created by artist Vynette Cernik. Cernik said a similar incident occurred in the US when police broke into a Hummer to save a doll.
Police Raid Amtrak Mooning
The annual Mooning of Amtrak event was held Saturday, and around 8,000 people showed up to bare their backsides to passing trains in Orange County, California. 50 officers of the Orange County Sheriff's Department and California Highway patrol were called over complaints of nudity. They shut down the event and dispersed the crowd, but no arrests were made. The mooning is an annual tradition that started over an offer of free drinks in 1979.
Bull Crashes Pool Party
Guests had just begun to arrive at Jamie Stewart's new pool when an escaped bull crashed through and plunged into the water. He couldn't climb out on his own, so the pool had to be partially drained and the bull hoisted out by six firemen and a local veterinarian. The process took three hours. Stewart had just filled the new pool with 10,000 gallons of water the day before. His children were disappointed that they didn't get to swim, but "they ended up with a much better story to tell their friends."
Man Who Robbed McDonalds Produces a McDonalds Jingle
Tamien Bain robbed a McDonalds when he was 14 years old, and served 12 years for the crime. Now he's one of five finalists in a contest to produce a jingle -for McDonalds! Bain now goes by the name "BAiNG The Locksmith" and visits prisons and juvenile centers with other rappers to talk about how he turned his life around. He told the contest officials about his previous experience with McDonalds before he was named as a finalist. You can vote on the jingles at the contest MySpace page through Sunday.
World's Greatest Dad Caught in Sex Sting
33-year-old Daniel Allen Everett of Clarkston, Michigan thought he was on his way to a sexual rendezvous with a 14-year-old girl he met on the internet. Instead, he was met by police officers, who arrested him on child sex charges. It's not clear whether Everett has children, but he was taken in wearing a t-shirt proclaiming him to be the "World's Greatest Dad."
Suicide Designed to Look Like Murder
You hear of murders that were covered up by making it look like a suicide, but the reverse seems to be the case with the death of Red Lobster executive Thomas Hickman. Hickman was found March 15 lying in a field in New Mexico. Police have determined that Hickman shot himself in the back of the head, using a gun attached to helium balloons. The balloons could have carried the gun away, making the death appear as a murder, but the balloons and the gun, which was modified to reduce its weight, were found nearby.

Blockchain is an irrefutably resourceful invention which is practically causing a revolution in the global business market. Its evolution has taken with it a greater good, not merely for businesses but also for its beneficiaries aswell. But since it's revelation to the planet, a vision of its operational activities is still unclear. The main question stick in everyone's mind is – What's Blockchain?
To start with, Blockchain technology serves as a platform that allows the transit of digital information minus the threat of being copied. It has, in ways, laid the foundation of a solid backbone of a new kind of internet space. Originally designed to deal with Bitcoin – attempting to explain the layman about the functions of its algorithms, the hash functions, and digital signature property, today, the technology buffs have found other potential uses of this immaculate invention which could pave the way to the onset of an entirely new business dealing process in the world.
Blockchain, to define in all respects, is a kind of algorithm and data distribution structure for the management of electronic cash minus the intervention of any centralized administration, programmed to record all the financial transactions in addition to everything that holds value.
The Working of Blockchain
Blockchain could be comprehended as Distributed Ledger technology that was originally devised to aid the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. But post heavy criticism and rejection, the technology was revised for used in things more productive.
To give an obvious picture, imagine a spreadsheet that's practically augmented tons to times across various computing systems. And then imagine that these networks are created to update this spreadsheet every once in awhile. This is exactly what blockchain is.
Information that's stored on a blockchain is really a shared sheet whose data is reconciled from time to time. It is a practical way that speaks of several obvious benefits. To being with, the blockchain data doesn't exist in one single place. Because of this everything stored within is open for public view and verification. Further, there isn't any centralized information storing platform which hackers can corrupt. It's practically accessed over a million computing systems side-by-side, and its own data can be consulted by any individual having an internet connection.
Durability and Authenticity of Blockchain
Blockchain technology is a thing that minims the web space. It's chic robust in nature. Much like offering data to the general public through the internet, blocks of authentic information are stored on blockchain platform which is identically visible on all networks.
Vital to note, blockchain cannot be controlled by a single people, entity or identity, and contains nobody point of failure. Similar to the internet has proven itself as a durable space since last 30 years, blockchain too will serve being an authentic, reliable global stage for business transaction since it continues to develop.
Transparency and Incorruptible Nature
Veterans of the industry claim that blockchain lives in circumstances of consciousness. It practically checks on itself every now and then. coincapcentral 's much like a self-auditing technology where its network reconciles every transaction, referred to as a block, which happens aboard at regular intervals.
Thus giving birth to two major properties of blockchain – it's highly transparent, and at exactly the same time, it cannot be corrupted. Every transaction that takes place with this server is embedded within the network, hence, making the complete thing very much visible all the time to the general public. Furthermore, to edit or omit information on blockchain asks for a humongous amount of efforts and a strong computing power. Amid this, frauds could be easily identified. Hence, it's termed incorruptible.
Users of Blockchain
There isn't any defined rule or regulation about who shall or could make use of this immaculate technology. Though at present, its potential users are banks, commercial giants and global economies only, the technology is open for your day to day transactions of everyone as well. The only drawback blockchain is facing is global acceptance.

A Review On Email Go Getter System (Eggs)


In the 1751 issue of the earliest scientific journal in Europe—the french Le Journal des Sçavans, was published a description of the calculating machine of Jacob-Rodrigues Pereire (1715-1780) (see biography of Jacob-Rodrigues Pereire). The description is only textual, without any sketches (see the original description of machine of Pereire). Besides this description, almost nothing is known about the machine. It seems Pereire designed it lead by his love and engagement to the deaf and mute children.
We have examined on the orders of the Academy an Arithmetical machine, presented by Mr. Pereire, of whom the Company has already approved the method of teaching speech to mutes.
Mr. Pereire cites in the paper he read to the Academy on the 16th of last December, everything currently known about machines of this kind, among which those by Mrs. Pascal, Perrault, Lépine and Boistissandeau are the best-known. The first and two last take up a somewhat embarrassing volume and consist of many wheels, springs, ratchets and other parts which make them costly, subject to repair, and inconvenient in use.
The rabdological abacus of Mr. Perrault is much simpler, and it is this instrument that the machine of Mr. Pereire resembles most. The abacus is composed of small rulers, each containing two columns of numbers, one on top of the other, separated by an empty space. The numbers in the first column are along the order 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. until 9 and those in the second column are in the reverse order, 9, 8, 7 etc. until 0, and the operation is by shifting the rulers in the grooves that contain them. Once they arrive at the bottom end of their travel, a ratchet which is built into the body of the ruler finds an opening for engaging in a groove in the neighboring ruler, making it advance by one step to mark tens of units for the first ruler, and if the ruler arrives at the bottom of its travel and thus indicates no number in the bottom window, one makes the ruler move up until the pointer that is moving it stops at the top of its groove—thus one finds at the bottom window the units that accompany the ten that the ratchet has been made to indicate, as will be explained more thoroughly in describing the use of this instrument .
Instead of putting the two columns on top of each other on each slide, Mr. Perrault could have put them side by side, in putting one slightly higher than the other, and placing the indicator windows in which the numbers appear conveniently accordingly. In this way the abacus would have no more need for such substantial length.
The machine of Mr. Pereire adopts this idea, but is more ingenious.
Instead of rulers, it uses small wooden wheels or very short cylinders, like trictrac stones, all put on a common axle. The cylindrical surfaces of these stones or wheels thus become rods without end: he has divided the circumference of each of the wheels in thirty equal parts where he has written two series of numbers: the first contains three times the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0, the second one three times the numbers 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Of these wheels, there is one for the "Deniers", one for the "Sols", one for the simplest fractions like 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, etc. and seven for the whole numbers, units, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc. until millions: and all these wheels together form but one cylinder three inches long to 18 eights in diameter, enclosed in a small trunk-shaped box.
There are on top of this box as many grooves as there are wheels, each occupying one third of the circumference of the cylinder, by which one makes the wheels turn with the tip of a stylus, in the same way one makes Mr. Perrault´s abacus´ rods move, taking the number one wants from 1 to 9 and 0, with this advantage that here the columns of numbers follow each other without interruption, one is never obliged to make the wheels turn back to make the number which results from the operation one makes, appear, as Perrault´s abacus often requires.
Mr. Pereire has divided the circumference of the wheel into thirty parts as opposed to twenty, so that the slits which are on top of the box would occupy only one third of the circumference of the circle, instead of half, which would not have been as convenient. He could have divided them in forty or fifty parts as well, and then the slits would have taken only 1/4th or 1/5th part of the circle circumference, but this larger number of divisions would have necessitated making the wheels larger.
Additionally, on top of the box which contains the wheels, there are two rows of windows along the length of the box, one on the front, and one on the back, those here to find the sum or the product of the numbers one wishes to add or multiply, those there to dial the number from which one wants to subtract, or which one wants to divide by another. The means which Mr. Pereire has found to advance a wheel every time the preceding one passes 10 is very ingenious. For this, along one of the flat sides of each wheel he has made thirty teeth representing more or less the teeth of a cog wheel. The other face is reserved to place a small balance, made hooked on one side, and along an inclined plane on the other. Each time ten divisions of this wheel have passed, the inclined plane meets a tooth fixed on the iron plate between the two wheels. This tooth forces the balance to move into the body of the wheel, thus pushing out the hook of which the other side consists, through the iron plate, which has an opening especially for this purpose, hooking behind one of the thirty teeth on the flat side of the neighboring wheel, and making it advance one step. This step made, the inclined plane now being past the tooth on the iron plate, is tilted back into its place by means of a spring, the hook thus returns into the body of the wheel and retracts from the neighboring wheel after having made it move by the value of one tooth.
1. By means of the arithmetic machine by Mr. Pereire, one can do without the help of pen and paper, the four arithmetic operations, the first two in pounds, shillings and pences, and the seven kinds of fractions. This last peculiarity of the machine by Mr. Pereire, which is also unique about it, is all the more useful as one can add or subtract fractions of different denominators with the same ease as if operating on whole numbers: one will find for example that 1/4 1/3 3/8 5/24 makes1 1/16 and when 5/12 is subtracted, 3/4 remain.
2. That the machine of Mr. Pereire, of which the volume is indicated above, should not be of considerable price, but nevertheless that those willing to procure the machine should advertise Mr. Pereire, as the price could even be lower as the number procured is larger. It is of little surprise that the mechanical arts will be happy to have this new machine, which by itself is very suitable for raising interest, and which is very useful not only for mute children, but for all those wishing to learn the science of numbers.

The engagement of members is a vital part of your chapter's success, which means you should have a current strategy to address the changing environment. Member needs and perspectives are changing, driving the need for more flexible approaches to engagement. A clear vision for engagement with strategic goals is a "must-have" for every chapter.
Explore how the changing engagement environment affects your chapter and the diverse member needs and expectations that cause your chapter to shift the operational paradigm.
Today's volunteers have multiple preferences and expectations for their involvement. A connection and commitment matrix can give insight into what their intentions are, from making a personal connection to building skills and from a long-term commitment to episodic opportunities. Vital is an effective volunteer process that includes talent scouts, matching skill to task, small to long-term opportunities and a change in mindset from committee members to coordinators.
Examine the relationship between volunteer connection and commitment. Why do people volunteer and what are their preferences?
Understand how to make the linkages between scouting for talent, matching a member's skill to the task involved, and plugging people into short-term "episodic" opportunities.
Experience "mind mapping" a chapter event using new volunteer process.
It has been said that a goal without a plan is just a wish. Successful chapter events and activities all start with a good plan. You may know that pre-planning is vital, but how far out should the planning begin? How do you sort through, consider, and decide on what to do? Do you continue adding new programs, or do you have a method for retiring activities before taking on more? This nuts and bolts session will cover some basic planning how-to's including budgeting, contracts, floor plans, and sponsorships. Finally, what happens when the event is over?
Gain new insight into how effective planning can create more successful chapter events, including pre-planning, considering and deciding what activities are undertaken, and when programs should be retired to make way for new efforts.
Explore the nuts and bolts of producing good activities including budgeting, contracts, working with outside venues, and sponsorships.
Consider effective ways to follow up, evaluate, and make necessary changes to activities to improve in the future.
You may have a great volunteer strategy and good plans, but the third piece is getting the word out. When should you begin communicating? How? To Whom?

Tracking The Tropics: What You Need To Know About Grace & Fred
By Jennifer Correa August 14, 2021 at 6:00 am
Filed Under:Fred, Hurricane News, Jennifer Correa, Local TV, Miami News, Tropical Storm Grace
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – South Florida is still expecting tropical downpours later Saturday afternoon even though Fred has downgraded to a tropical wave.
There is still plenty of tropical moisture associated with what is now remnants of Fred that will move through Florida throughout the weekend.
The remnants of Fred are expected to move into the very warm Gulf waters and regain tropical depression status by Sunday morning.
More strengthening will occur, but the system will stay well away from South Florida and the West Coast of Florida as it tracks northward.
Fred will regenerate to a tropical storm by Sunday night and continue to head for the northern Gulf Coast.
Landfall is forecast to occur late Monday night or Tuesday morning somewhere between Mississippi and the Panhandle.
Downpours in South Florida this weekend may cause flooding, which is why a flood watch remains in effect through Sunday evening.
The flood watch may be extended if a moisture tail from Fred sets up over the area on Monday and Tuesday.
Storms may be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, flooding rain, frequent lightning and even tornadoes.
Moving into mid-week, South Florida will once again have to be on alert for possible impacts from Tropical Storm Grace, which formed early Saturday morning.
Grace will race towards the Leeward Islands, arriving there Saturday night and moving over Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Sunday, then over Hispaniola on Monday.
Grace will slow down in forward motion as the storm moves between the Bahamas and Cuba by Tuesday.
South Florida may have to prepare for possible impacts from Grace on Wednesday through the second half of the week.
Stay tuned to the CBS4 Storm Team and on CBSMiami.com for the latest updates on the tropics.

Michael is now a major hurricane with max sustained winds of 120 miles per hour and gusts to 150 miles per hour. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads.
Scott activated 500 National Guard Troops to help with planning ahead of the storm. Hurricane Hunters are collecting data on the storm, and that data will be fed into our forecast models. It has the potential to undergo rapid intensification when it enters the Gulf before turning northeast towards Florida.
"We've seen this happen many times with storms, and they've just start to bring all that water with them", explained FOX 13's meteorologist Dave Osterberg, "and they've pushed that water in".
Tropical Storm Michael is moving north on Monday as it targets Florida later this week. "We know that a storm like Michael can be devastating and deadly".
A hurricane watch has been posted for the Florida Gulf Coast, all the way from the Alabama-Florida border to the Suwannee River in Florida.
Forecasters say Tropical Storm Michael has gotten a little stronger and is next expected to dump heavy rains over western Cuba in the coming hours before it makes its way toward the U.S. Gulf Coast.
As forecast, Michael would be the first Category 3 or higher hurricane to hit the Panhandle since Hurricane Dennis in 2005.
The threat for tornadoes will increase late Tuesday into Wednesday over parts of the Florida panhandle, the northern Florida Peninsula, and southern Georgia. On average, the Atlantic would have about five hurricanes by October 8.
The Tampa Bay area is under a Tropical Storm Warning as Michael appears poised to strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane before making landfall on the Florida Panhandle by midweek.
Aside from winds potentially nearing 200 km/h, the storm's main impacts are expected to include extreme rainfall (up to and exceeding 250 mm in the worst-hit areas of the panhandle), flooding, the the potential for "life-threatening" mudslides in mountainous areas along its route.
"As we continue to monitor this storm's path toward Florida, it is critically important that our communities have every available resource to keep everyone safe". "Don't take a chance".
Systems gets upgraded to named storms when wind strength exceeds 39 miles per hour. The governor's declaration activates the state's emergency operations plan, according to Ivey's office.
As of 5 a.m. ET, Tropical Storm Michael is about 90 miles east of Cozumel, an island off Mexico's east coast, and 100 miles west of Cuba.
In a news conference Sunday evening in Tallahassee, Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned that the storm could have far-reaching effects, regardless of where it lands. The system was located just east of the Yucatan Peninsula and moving northward at 7 miles per hour.
