Key Capital, through its staff, creates shared value through collaboration ensuring that the interests of our Firm and wider society are mutually supportive. We encourage our staff to collaborate with local partners to ensure we contribute effectively to promote societal development, work more sustainably and contribute to meaningful change in the community in which we work and operate.
Our Firm and staff do this in three ways;
1. Working to ensure we contribute to Society
We want to contribute to programmes, both financially and through our human resources, to advance societal development throughout the Workplace, Sport and the Arts.
We support our staff who volunteer to help others. We have partnered with Trinity College Dublin and their TCPID programme which provides training and education to those with an intellectual disability and assists them with work placement and longer-term employment opportunities. We regularly support the staging of the Opera, the Ballet and exhibitions at the National Gallery of Ireland working towards the advancement of the Arts in Ireland. Key Capital staff are supported to work on a voluntary basis in several sporting organisations and other charitable endeavours.
2. Working to ensure we contribute to a sustainable Environment
We want to work and live in the most sustainable manner possible.
We are seeking involvement in strategic initiatives for advancing sustainability at a broader level with relevant and interested stakeholders. Within Key Capital, we have introduced several initiatives to increase our awareness of, and impact on, our environment. Where possible, we also invest financially in either technology or other resources that support a "greener" working environment. We foster innovation in our staff to assist us with ideas for how we can contribute to co-working in a sustainable manner.
3. Working to ensure we contribute locally
We partner with local initiatives and organisations where we can make a difference.
We do this both in businesses in which we take either a financial or mentorship interest but also in working with local underprivileged schools where we feel we can make a difference. We have partnered with Children's Books Ireland to resource a library for one of our local schools where there are particular literacy issues and we are actively supporting our staff who wish to give their time to reading or working with those children and giving them some insight to a financial services firm and what a possible career path might involve. In other years', we have launched a local School's Arts Prize in conjunction with the National Gallery of Ireland to encourage children to explore their artistic and creative abilities.
Key Capital are delighted to be working with Children's Books Ireland and St Enda's School to gift 100 books to the school library. Our volunteers enjoyed a lovely morning yesterday meeting some of the children and doing some drawing with them.
Key Capital's Group CEO Colin Morgan takes part in Focus Ireland's Shine a Light initiative, where business leaders, companies, schools and people all over Ireland sleep out in their homes, gardens, or workplaces. The campaign's aim is to raise vital funds and stand in solidarity with people experiencing homelessness.

On Friday, a group of 30 prominent rabbis are gathering for a special prayer session at a specific hour that a 700-year-old book of Kabbalah describes as auspicious for having prayers answered.
This Friday, December 9, is the ninth day of Kislev, the ninth month of the Hebrew calendar. At precisely nine hours after sunrise, the rabbis will gather in a special prayer event for nine minutes, from 1:44 PM until 1:53 PM Jerusalem time (6:44 AM – 6:53 EST), to raise money for charity.
Halachic (Torah law) hours are calculated by figuring the amount of time between sunrise and sunset and dividing by 12. At this time of year in America, a Halachic hour ranges from 40 minutes in northern states to 55 minutes in southern states. To pray in the ninth hour after sunrise tomorrow, multiply the halachic hour by nine and add the to the local time of sunrise.
The rabbis have understood this to be an auspicious time for prayer according to a 14th century kabbalistic book. In Sefer Brit Menucha, Rabbi Abraham ben Isaac of Granada wrote that the number nine was an important element for prayers to be answered. In Judaism, this is referred to as Eyt Ratzon (a time of will), when God is especially open to supplicants. The rabbi specified the ninth year of the Jubilee cycle, the ninth month, the ninth day, and the ninth hour after sunrise.
According to the rabbi, it was in the ninth hour that the Children of Israel were answered on the shores of the Red Sea.
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto Hashem. Exodus 14:10
Rabbi Abraham also noted that it was in the ninth hour that Elijah's prayers were answered on the Carmel and God sent fire down from heaven.
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening offering, that Eliyahu the Navi came near, and said: 'O Hashem, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Yisrael, let it be known this day that Thou art God in Yisrael, and that I am Thy servant, and that I have done all these things at Thy word. I Kings 18:36
Though Rabbi Abraham specified each manifestation of nine as auspicious in its own right, the 30 rabbis have taken this one step further and announced that a combination of nines is even more auspicious for prayer. This Friday is the ninth day of the ninth month of the Hebrew calendar. Though it is not the ninth year of the Jubilee cycle, it is the ninth year of the Birkhat HaChama cycle.
Birkhat HaChama (blessing of the sun) is said once every 28 years, thanking God for creating the sun. According to Jewish tradition, the sun has a 28-year solar cycle. At the end of this cycle it returns to the position it was in when the world was created. The last time that it was recited was nine years ago, on April 8, 2009 (14 Nisan 5769).
The announcement of the prayer event has caused some consternation. The advertisement for the charity declares with some urgency that the "ancient and auspicious" window of opportunity comes around once every 28 years. Rationalist Judaism, a blog commenting on the religious Jewish world, noted that a similar announcement three years ago declared the opportunity was even more rare, occurring once every fifty years. Prayer campaigns were also run in 2011 and 2009, when this special Eyt Ratzon was reported to occur once every seven years.
Rabbi Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman, one of the most prominent Ultra-Orthodox rabbis today, admitted he was unfamiliar with this particular Eyt Ratzon, but approved of the event. "Charity alone is also a segula (benevolent ritual)," he said.
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, another prominent rabbi, did not support the event, saying, "I have not heard of this. One who wishes for salvation via praying, it is possible to always pray, whenever one wishes."
Other rabbis object to the entire concept of Eyt Ratzon. Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, head of the Ateret Kohanim Yeshiva in Jerusalem, delivered a lecture in his yeshiva (seminary) in which he condemned the "Four Nines" as an attempt to use magic and shortcuts in place of genuine spiritual growth.

Sarah Jessica Parker on Why Everyone Should Read the New Book Golden Child
If you thought her primary passion was shoes, think again.
By Leigh Haber
Montse Bernal
In 2016, Sarah Jessica Parker became editorial director of the newly launched SJP for Hogarth, a literary imprint of Crown Publishing. Her first acquisition, A Place for Us, by Fatima Farheen Mirza, was a debut novel about an Indian family in America striving to adjust to their new country; it went on to become a New York Times best-seller.
Her second pick, Golden Child, by Claire Adam, is also a first novel. It has the palpable tension of a thriller but abounds with sociopolitical themes: In a Trinidad rife with corruption and crime, a son's kidnapping forces his father to choose between his two children; the tale highlights the brutally unwinnable situations many would-be immigrants face.
O's books editor, Leigh Haber, asked Parker—who is also honorary chair of the American Library Association's Book Club Central, for which she regularly designates books to share with readers across the country—what draws her to a story and why she decided to lend her name to this new endeavor.
Where did your passion for reading come from?
My mother is the reason all of her eight children are readers. She used to drive us everywhere with either a book or the New Yorker opened in her lap. At red lights, she would look down and read. We'd poke her on the shoulder when the light turned green. She spent her life taking us to ballet classes, violin and piano lessons—everywhere. I'm pretty sure the reason she didn't lose her mind was that all that going here and there afforded her time to read. Now that I'm a mother, I understand completely.
Do you do the same?
Absolutely. I get to Brownie pickup early so I can read while I'm waiting for my girls. I purposely take the subway to bury my head in a book. On movie and television sets, I'm never without a book, so when I'm in hair and makeup or between takes, I can read. Sometimes people get offended because they think I'm being antisocial, but it's actually a way for me to stay focused.
I heard that when Molly Stern, the publisher of Hogarth, first suggested you create a book imprint, you thought, Oh, I'm not qualified. Why did you change your mind?
I'd already joined a book club with some writers and publishing people in part so I could read forthcoming titles early and then support them any way I could—by posting on Instagram and Twitter, just talking them up, or letting paparazzi take a picture of me carrying a certain book. The first thing we read together was Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, which I fell madly in love with. The whole purpose of the club was to help great books get a leg up, and the experience was wonderful. Then, three years in, Molly suggested I could have an even bigger impact by handpicking a list of books and working on them from start to finish.

Agents send you tons of submissions. Why did you choose Golden Child from the piles?
Right away I was utterly absorbed. I was concerned for the characters—I felt loving toward them. I couldn't stop thinking about the father's dilemma, the challenges he was facing, and how hard it is to be a good parent, especially when the economics are so tough and you're faced with life-or-death choices that no one, especially a parent, should have to make.
Those characters got to you.
Yes. Their lives are obviously so different from mine, yet I deeply related to what they were going through, and I wanted contentment, satisfaction, peace for them. Their pain was mine, which meant the author had done something pretty remarkable.
The desperation they feel to give their children a better life is visceral, and offers the reader a deeper understanding of, say, why someone from Trinidad might do just about anything to come to the United States.
And the beauty of it is that Golden Child isn't a political book. It doesn't address policy issues. But you feel that, yes, in some ways this family is as stuck as someone in a jail cell.
20 Ways You Can Read More Books
We may travel to islands in the Caribbean as tourists, but we don't know what's really happening there.
It made me ashamed, frankly. Yes, the novel's set on a beautiful, sunny island, but it's also a real place with people struggling in ways we wouldn't be able to imagine absent the book.
One of your goals in finding new literary voices is to help foster an understanding about the larger world—in other words, empathy.
I truly believe that reading accomplishes this as nothing else can. There's a solitude to it, and in that sense it's very different from watching a film or a play. Good books transport you. Of course, you can never be somebody else—have their DNA, live their story. But you can get close. Great reads can bring you to care about the protagonists nearly as much as you do your own loved ones.
It makes them real.
Often I finish a book and think, I want more from Lagos. I want to know everything about Nairobi. A whole new world opens up to you. Reading is cumulative. It changes you and sustains you. That experience is what I hope to share.

The quality of representation is undermined when a client's interests conflict with those of a third party, another client, a former client, or the attorney himself. In addition, a criminal defendant's interests in acquittal or a civil litigant's desire to vindicate his claim may run afoul of a court's search for truth. The Code of Professoinal Responsibility addresses the conflicts of interest problem directly and indirectly in a number of disciplinary rules and ethical considerations. Judge Judd enumerates these provisions in his reflections on some of the conflicts he has witnessed from the bench, and he outlines the judiciary's role in safeguarding the client's interest in effect, independent representation.

Council of Churches opposed to new data collection rules
The Council of Churches is critical of several aspects of the new bill. Source: Olev Kenk/ERR
The Estonian Council of Churches (EKN) finds draft legislation to amend the Business Register Act unconstitutional and in breach of religious freedom as it would make it possible to compose public registers of members of congregations.
The Ministry of Justice and Ministry of the Interior have completed amendments to the Business Register Act that would lift the ban on members of congregations being listed in public databases, including those who have attended general meetings where decisions that need to be reflected in the register of religious associations are made.
The Council of Churches finds the plan unsensible and in breach of religious freedom.
Chairman of the EKN Andres Põder writes in a letter to the justice and internal affairs ministers that the council is against repealing section 15, subsection 4 of the Churches and Congregations Act.
The latter currently provides that records of meetings of the general assembly or other bodies, lists of participants or any other documents concerning members of religious organizations cannot be entered into the religious associations register when data is changed.
The item was added in 2017 and repealing it would cause certain issues to resurface, the EKN finds.
"The issue concerns the nature of religious freedom and is based on the principle provided in section 42 of the Constitution according to which the state cannot collect information against a person's will pertaining to their convictions (including religious convictions and affiliation)," Põder wrote.
The new bill would also repeal section 18 of the Churches and Congregations Act according to which information pertaining to members is not included in public records of religious associations. Only persons with legitimate interest as determined by a notary can currently access said data.
"Concerning section 18, regulation should make sure both existing and new lists of members of religious associations (even though the law does not require the latter) would not become a matter of public record," Põder added.
Justice ministry: Documents that include member lists will not be made publicly accessible
ERR was told from the Ministry of Justice that the plan is to move forward with the bill in its current form.
"Applications to make changes in the register will need to include a record of the decision and the body that made it. This record does not have to be complete and an extract will suffice. A list of members who attended the meeting needs to be attached that will allow the registrar to evaluate whether the decision has been made in accordance with the law and rules specified in statutes," Kertu Laadoga, PR adviser for the ministry, said.
She added that the plan is to stick with the version of the bill that will see documents that include lists of members involved in making decisions pertaining to religious associations stored in a register file that is only accessible if legitimate interest can be established.
"The same file holds changes filed prior to 2018. Similar documents of other legal persons will remain a matter of public record where anyone can access them for a fee," Laadoga said.
She explained that one of the main changes introduced by the amendment is the harmonization of register regulation of legal persons in private law.
"For this purpose, the register of NGOs and foundations (complete with subregisters for religious associations, unions, apartment associations, land improvement associations) will be made a subregister of the business register and become subject to regulation governing the latter," the ministry communicated.
The joint register will cover all private-law legal persons, as well as self-employed persons. "This will apply common maintenance of register requirements, principles and organization to all private-law legal persons," Laadoga added.

I purchased it as a result of I suspected the check engine light got here on because I had not tightened my fuel cap sufficiently after filling the automobile with gasoline. The verify engine mild stayed on, however, and I was informed that it could value me $200 simply to verify to see whether there was a vapor leak someplace. I used to be additionally gazing the cost of restore if there was indeed a problem.

Security forces in Niger killed around 12 fighters of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram who launched an attack in the southeastern region of Bosso, close to the border with Nigeria, according to an army statement on Saturday.
Three members of the security forces were lightly wounded during Friday's battle and government forces captured machine guns, rocket propelled grenade launchers and mobile telephones from the enemy, said army spokesman Colonel Moustapha Ledru.
"The vigorous reaction of the Defence and Security Forces of Niger put the enemy to flight. Around a dozen terrorists were killed and several dozen others were wounded and carried away by the fleeing attackers," he said on national radio.
It was not possible to verify the casualty figures independently.
Local resident Ibrahim Chetima said townspeople sought shelter in the bush from the fighting, which began at around 5.30 p.m. (1630 GMT) and went on until 8 p.m.
Bosso is part of the Diffa region, which houses many refugees and internally displaced people who have sought to evade Boko Haram violence elsewhere. The region has been targeted numerous times in attacks blamed on the militants.
Boko Haram is headquartered across the border in northeastern Nigeria and seeks to carve out an emirate and impose a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Hi Henry - Yr Solution, I saw your listing on Propwall. I am interested in your property in Plaza Sentral, KL Sentral.


Earlier this year we were proud to announce that WordPress.com users's sites would automatically support Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) — a new open-source projectspearheaded by Google to dramatically improve the performance of web pages on mobile devices.
Now, here's the big news: Google has just announced that it is bringing AMP pages to all of its global search results — and WordPress.com users' sites will be ready.
Our latest update to WordPress.com gives you even more control over your site's look and feel on AMP pages. Just go to your My Sites section, go to Settings > General and look for the AMP section. There you'll be able to customize your AMP design, including the header text color, link colors, and a dark or light color scheme.
If you prefer to disable the AMP pages, there is also an option to turn off the feature.
For users with a self-hosted WordPress site, you can also download our free AMP plugin. Go here to install it.
Tens of millions of WordPress sites now have AMP pages, with page load speeds up to 89% faster than normal in some cases. It's great for your readers and followers, as faster loading times mean they'll get to your content sooner, even when they're on the go. We're excited to have you try it out!


« You Have 5 Seconds to Make an Impression!
Earlier this year I published a blog post entitled "My Significant Drop in Use of JISCMail Lists" which described how the numbers of messages I have published to the web-support JISCMail list has dropped from a peak on 53 in 2001 to only two messages in 2009.
I speculated that such a steep decline was true more generally in many of the JISCMail lists I subscribe to – but was unable to easily provide evidence due to the resource effort in having to manually count the numbers of posts to the lists.
Following the recent upgrade to the JISCMail Web site searches across JISCMail archives now include the total numbers of matching search queries. So carrying out a search of JISCMail archives for author's addresses which contain '@' for each year should enable trends to be observed.
The results for the numbers of posts to the web-support and website-info-mgt JISCMail list between 1999 and 2009 are shown.
The peak for the web-support list was 2002 when 2,540 messages were posted. The website-info-mgt list had a peak of 568 messages posted in 2001.
The decline of both of these lists now appears to have stabilised at just over 200 messages posted per year (less than 5 messages per week). Many of these messages will related to announcements of events, job vacancies, etc. rather than the discussions which took place in the early days of these lists.
Clear evidence, it would appear, of the decline in importance of mailing lists over the past 5 years, replaced, we would imagine, by use of a variety of Social Web tools. The Web Management community is now, perhaps, a blogging, twittering and social bookmarking community.
But how have other popular JISCMail lists used by other communities changed over the past 10 years?
In the case of the lis-link JISCMail list it seems that the Library community still makes intensive use of mailing lists.
Over the same time span this list was mostly widely used at the start of the period, with 3,651 posts in 1999. The decline since then has, however, been relatively slight with 2,226 posts in 2008 (and a rise t0 2,401 posts in 2009).
Whilst the institutional Web management community has moved away from JISCMail, those working in the library sector are still making intensive use of the service, receiving, on average, 46 messages per week on this list. And since there are a number of more specialist JISCMail lists aimed at the Library community (including LIS-CIGS, LIS-E-BOOKS, LIS-E-RESOURCES, LIS-ILL and LIS-Web2) it is quite clear that mailing lists still provide an important service for this community.
Unfortunately the JISCMail search facility does not provide a RESTful interface so I can't provide a link to the data used to produce the graphs shown above. However Google Spreadsheets was used to produce the graphs and this has been made publicly available.
"Email Must Die!" was the deliberately provocative title of a talk I gave at the ILI conference back in 2005 (and having noticed that the iPres 2010 call for proposals requests that "Panels should be lively, controversial and provoke discussion" I am unapologetic in being prepared to occasionally use somewhat controversial titles for my talks). A report on the talk (available in PDF format) described how I introduced a "whole plethora of alternative methods of communicating information that enable collaboration or that provide information to the gadgets or programs that people use in real life, such as RSS feeds from blogs, instant messaging, wikis, podcasts, and so on" and argued that "it won't be too long before our users will expect libraries to be able to communicate using these channels, so we'd be well advised to explore them now!".
This prediction seems to have come true amongst Web managers, with the main mailing lists used by the community seemingly being used for one-way announcements rather than discussions and debates. But in other communities this hasn't happened. Why is this, I wonder?
My initial suspicion was simply the lag in the adoption of new technologies, with the early adopters having embraced various Web 2.0 communications technologies a number of years ago to be followed by mainstream users. In this spectrum we might expect those primarily involved in Web support and development work to be part of the early adopter community, with those who have a prime focus on other areas (teaching and learning and research, for example) to be somewhat behind in making use of new technologies.
But does such a technological deterministic really reflect reality? There will be additional factors such as ease of access to networked computers and access to Web 2.0 services themselves – and many of the librarians on the LIS- lists who work in FE colleges, public libraries and, indeed, the commercial sector, may not have the ready access to the services which many of us working in HE have now come to expect.
There is also the question of whether users need to migrate to new technologies if well-established approaches, such as email lists, fulfill their purposes.
On the other hand, revisiting my post on "Decommissioning / Mothballing Mailing Lists" the trends showing the numbers of messages posted to lists seem to clearly indicate the majority of lists no longer have any traffic and those with over 100 messages posted per year (such as the LIS-LINK) are very much in a minority.
Does this evidence (taken from the JISC Monitoring Unit Web site) suggest that the library sector are out of synch with the rest of the community??
This entry was posted on 4 Jun 2010 at 9:00 am	and is filed under Evidence, General. Tagged: JISCMail. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
You've posted this just as I am mulling over what we quite do with some of the feedback we've got through market research for some of our services. If some of this feedback is correct, then I'd say that the library community is much more in synch with the research community in its use of email as a communications channel than 'we' are (whoever that 'we' is). When we surveyed Zetoc users, email overwhelmingly outnumbered RSS as the preferred means of delivering research updates. When we recently did focus groups with new postgrads *very* few used personalisation tools & could not see the value (not immediately). Again, they said they would prefer email.
So who's out of synch? It would be tempting to just cast these people as unenlightened and stuck in the past, but I don't think so.
I'm not advocating email as *the* most effective means to communicate & share ideas, or any for that matter, but I think we need to be careful about casting it as some sort of old fashioned and 'non-interactive' mode of communicating. I can be a passive consumer of twitter or a blog just as much as any other medium, and be 'interactive' with email. It depends on the context. Email is probably the most single important technology I use on a day-to-day basis. It's utterly embedded. Diminishing trends highlight what you've said — that conversation is also happening elsewhere. But email still dominates for most, and I suspect for a long time.
Hi Joy. Thanks for the comment – and it is good to have some evidence to inform such discussions. I note that you said that "email overwhelmingly outnumbered RSS as the preferred means of delivering research updates". The context of my post was use of mailing lists to support discussions within communities. So I don't think we are necessarily in disagreement – I don't think anyone is suggesting that JISCMail lists should be used for delivering research updates from services such as Zetoc.
Personally, I wonder if these numbers will rise slightly when Universities move to Outlook 2010 and have conversation view, making email lists look a lot more organised and more like RSS feeds.
Google wave seems to occupy a middle ground between email and some of the other forms of communication/collaboration out there. Fresh and ground-breaking as it is, I am surprised that it has not made more of an impact than it has so far.
'the majority of lists no longer have any traffic'.
I think it's the way of many email lists to have a natural life-cycle ending with dormancy. JISCMail has been going for 10 years; when it took over from Mailbase, only currently active lists would have been transferred to it, so since then you would expect the proportion of dormant lists to have risen.
Hello, I am writing a paper on the use and relevance of my jiscmail list zooarch (a list concerned with the study of animals in the past) that has been running for 11 years now and has steadily increased in membership and messages but not in direct proportion. We are seeing a number of changes in message types which I attribute to changes in technology, e.g. pdfs not photocopies and the treasure trove that is our archive also the list now is so large (about 1000 folk from 45 countries) that people do not want to ask 'stupid questions' anymore. I am interested in any other parallel changes on other lists. Has anyone else reviewed their lists and their usage? We do have a breakaway facebook style group for younger folk this is minorly sucessful, but no one uses RSS to my knowledge. I have stats about messages versus members if anyone is interested.


Mazar-e-Sharif « Photo Contest: "Why Afghanistan Matters"
This foto is very fine.
I don't understand why this made it in the top 12. Poor contrast and too much DOF. Too much amateur photography in this contest.
Peace be upon every One of You !
I am not sure whether your site is still active but I wanted to leave a comment. I hope you will reply.
You mention above that "the top 12 were determined by over 30,000 ratings by members of the public." Can you tell me whether this tally included the Afghan people?
I ask because, I'm not even Afghan, and I felt very uncomfortable with your choice of winners and the rest of the videos. Almost every one reeked of condescension. I grew dizzy from all the white hands reaching out — and down to these gracious, enduring, superior people.
I originally searched the WordPress for "Afghanistan" hoping to learn from the people and stand before them in awe. Their history, culture, character and beauty are far superior to anything we can dream to have in the developed world. Instead I found this trite site.
I offer my sadness and apologies to any Afghan person who has had to bear the indignity shown here. To them I say, please forgive us Westerners. We are a soppy sort, infantile and terribly superficial. Shakespeare describes us to the letter in his play "The Merchant of Venice." We are pickled in "mercy" but it is actually a psychopathic degree of vanity that makes us this way.
I wish I had entered this contest. I would asked an Afghan citizen to help me make it– from his perspective.
Thanks for your feedback. The contest included quite a few Afghan entries and votes, to include the grand prize winner.

ORIGINAL SAYINGS
Bold Title
Now Released!
Tom is dangerously close to discovering where his threshold is—the point of no return for his sanity. His encounter with the killer represented one more bizarre hot potato he was forced to juggle instead of filing away neatly. It wasn't one too many, but what if the next one was? And could all the coincidences that keep happening to Tom be nothing more than that? Could a young woman named Zig-Zag really be an angel? How could a dog lead Tom to one of the most important clues? The questions pile up for both Tom and the reader, much as the murders do.
Murder For Liar is a psychological mystery in which a therapist's world is rocked by a crazed client, as well as a series of murders.
Tom explores his inner transformation with a clinician's expertise as he's forced to expand his perspective and gather new tools to maintain his sanity amid all the drastic plot twists that are foisted on him by a host of offbeat characters.
By the end of the book, after much internal dialogue (which Tom shares with the reader), he becomes a far better version of himself.
Overall, Murder For Liar is a thinking person's mystery for readers who desire depth and wisdom along with the thrill ride that my novel provides.
Keep scrolling for information about my previous three novels, all published by Wild Rose Press.
Here's the blurb:
A flood of two-hundred-year-old memories from a past life knocks boy-genius Tris right off his stool at the TV quiz show he was winning. Then a letter arrives from a fifty-year-old time capsule that sends him on a quest to find a book of wisdom his karmic ancestors have been compiling for centuries.
Really? Sure, he's smarter than all the adults around him, but how's he supposed to navigate an interstate scavenger hunt and elude a group of fanatic lowlifes?
Tris has to grow into someone beyond his years to get the job done. He learns the hard way that the smartest boy in the world…isn't
Buddha's clone, victim of a conspiracy, or just plain crazy? If only he knew.
Psychotherapist Sid Menk is dragged into a war between spiritual factions vying for control of the planet. Is he Buddha's clone? Has his mentor actually granted him enlightenment? Can the woman by his side kick everyone's butt?
As kidnappers, rogue monks, and Maori gangsters chase Sid through New Zealand, India, and the redwoods of northern California, his sense of identity dissolves and something amazing takes its place. Armed with newfound insights and abilities, he marshals esoteric energy to match the power of those who seek to exploit him.
The twists and turns of this contemporary fantasy thriller send the reader on a wild ride,and we guarantee that no one will predict the outrageous ending of this contemporary fantasy.

Early Reviews of B&W:
"The story has great pace, fun characters who you care about, plenty of twists, and narrative 'personality', especially with all of the psychology and spiritual references.
Many good zingers, taut scenes, and punchy, believable dialogue.
The mixture of a hard-boiled story line with a soft-boiled private investigator works well and the psychology--spiritualism element grabbed and held my interest."
C.I. Dennis, author of the Vince Tanzi series
"Verlin Darrow has a sense of plot and style that carries the reader forward into that special place of anxious expectation, the place where putting the book down is unthinkable.
Verlin gets us into the minds of people you wouldn't want to invite for dinner. Fascinating."
Richard House MD, author of Between Now and When
SAMPLE PARAGRAPHS
I gazed around. Much like the last time I'd visited the meditation hall, fifty or sixty people held themselves like shoddily made statues of the Buddha on the polished wooden floor, arranged in neat rows. How did they manage to get the spacing so exact? Tape on the floor? I pictured silver duct tape with red Sharpie writing: "sit here," "sit here," "sit here." Then I imagined being the one who had to churn out all the little signs. What a pain. Aria probably made them do all sorts of things like that just so they'd get worn down psychically and accept all her crazy ideas. Spiritual boot camp.
It was great to see my pup—and he was mine, even if an idiot judge made me share him with Adele. Larry went nuts when he raced in, careening from room to room—all four of them. Then he tried to jump into me. Not onto me—into me. He had a strong urge to merge, as my mother used to say about her very Catholic brother. If Larry ever figured out how to do it, the Karl/Larry amalgam would probably be a major upgrade.
I filled her in. The story fell out of me. It was my third go-round, and by now the big yellow marker in my head had highlighted the essential elements. This was the same one that ran a circle around whichever woman on the beach was wearing the skimpiest bikini, so I knew I could trust it.
Quite a few of the redwoods sported carbuncle-like burls at their bases, which my mind sought to turn into faces. I knew evolution favored whoever was a whiz at facial recognition, but all I came up with was a cartoon character or two. I guess my line was doomed to die out sooner than most.
Rachel was solidly built. She could've played inside linebacker for a player-strapped high school. It was like hugging a man who happened to have a squishy bosom and smelled like herbal conditioner. She wore black-framed glasses and bright red lipstick. Sometimes she wore bright red glasses and black lipstick. She was a tricky one.
I WON AN AWARD (sort of)!!!
Blood and Wisdom has been designated a Finalist in the 2019 mystery category by the Indie Book Awards. Basically, this means that it is one of five runners up, which is close enough to winning an international contest for me to crow about it and celebrate.

Here is a shot of the new Dirt Late Model from OS. Did some testing on Sat. at the Mid-South USRA race in Abbeville. Body was very fast, lots of downforce. Had to go to a harder tire. Was several ticks faster than the JK DLM body. According to Ron they should be out around Oct 1st.
It is very fast, and tons of DF. I went to a 50+ Durometer tire. Hey I may try it with a GTP chassis.
What are the tech requirements for Late Model bodies???
The roof must fit tech gauga and the rear spoiler at 1 5/8". THere is no front bumper rule this year. This is what we go by in the Mid-South USRA. Which the DLM class is our biggest class. IT is really a GRP10 with a DLM body.
We are getting ready to run 4.5" LMD on 4" chassis. I know the roof want tech for a 4.5" car at 1 7/8".
So I was thinking no less than 1.5" as is the case for 4" cars???
In the SCORE Series there isn't any roof height tech. There must be an 1/8th" front bumper and an 1 5/8th" rear spoiler height.
is this the new 4 inch body that is supposed to be more downforce than the current 4.5 incher that everybody slams and wedges to put on a 4 in. chassis?
This is actually a 4.5" DLM body that Ron has reworked to meet USRA rules. Very fast. I had to go to a harder tire because of the downforce it produces.
Ask you local track to order them.

In Lithuania everyone celebrates Christmas together with their families. Actually, a Christian feast commemorates the birth of Jesus. In the Christian calendar, it ranks after EASTER, PENTECOST, and EPIPHANY in liturgical importance and was not widespread until the 4th cent. A greeting card sent at Christmas to express good will. London museum director Henry Cole sends out the world's first Christmas cards. The first American-made Christmas cards appear at Boston. In Puritan New England Christmas remains a working day. There are some 'very clever' sentences about this holiday. Most popular Christmas songs and hymns.

Q: GitHub Pages Precedence Say I have the following repositories on GitHub:
caffinatedmonkey (user)
│
├── caffinatedmonkey.github.io
│   └── tree
│       └── master
│           └── foo
│               └── index.html
└── foo
    └── tree
        ├── master
        └── gh-pages
            └── index.html

If I go to caffinatedmonkey.github.io/foo, which page will be shown? Which page takes precedence, the project page, https://github.com/caffinatedmonkey/foo/tree/gh-pages/index.html or the user page, https://github.com/caffinatedmonkey/caffinatedmonkey.github.io/tree/master/foo/index.html?

A: User pages "take precedence", but not in a per url basis. Even if the urls don't collide, having a user page disables project pages.
In order to work arround this you can have the gh-pages branch of a project page set up as a submodule of your user.github.io repo.
cd user.github.io
git submodule add -b gh-pages https://github.com/user/project.git
git submodule update
git commit -m 'Added submodule for project'
git push

A: I set up a test by replicating the repository structure in the question. When I visited caffinatedmonkey.github.io/foo I was taken to the user's foo page, https://github.com/caffinatedmonkey/caffinatedmonkey.github.io/tree/master/foo/index.html.
User pages take precedence.

Q: Sum row of list of dataframe in r I have a list of dataframes. Each dataframe is a Stock quote whose row names are dates and column names are buy price, sell price, shares and PL.
I want to obtain a column that contains the percentage of every positive PL contribution to the total daily PL.
Making it simplier. I have the following Data:
mylist= structure(list(`1` = structure(list(ID = c(35L, '2009-01-03', '2009-01-04', '2009-01-05'), Income = c(100, 200, 300, 400)), .Names = c("Date", "Income"), row.names = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L), class = "data.frame"), `2` = structure(list(ID = c('2009-01-02', '2009-01-03', '2009-01-04', '2009-01-05'), Income = c(500, -600, 700, 800)), .Names = c("Date", "Income"), row.names = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L), class = "data.frame"), `3` = structure(list(ID = c('2009-01-02', '2009-01-03', '2009-01-04'), Income = c(100, 200, 300)), .Names = c("Date", "Income"), row.names = c(1L, 2L, 3L), class = "data.frame")))

Which looks like this:
$`1`
        Date Income
1 2009-01-01    100
2 2009-01-03    200

2 2009-01-03    200

I want to obtain something that looks like this:
$`1`
        Date Income Perc

A: I have two solutions for your problem. I highly recommend combining your data frame in one master data frame in order to reduce the complexity of the code if at all possible.

Significant Phase III Results with CIMZIA(TM) in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Radiographic Data Demonstrated Significant Reduction in Joint Damage
Brussels (Belgium), February 23, 2007 at 7:00 AM CET - UCB today announced key results of a pivotal Phase III study (RAPID 1) involving nearly 1,000 patients on CIMZIA(TM) (certolizumab pegol), the first PEGylated, Fc-free anti-TNF, intended for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RAPID 1's radiographic data showed that CIMZIA(TM) in combination with methotrexate prevented structural damage of the joints to a significantly greater degree than placebo plus methotrexate after one year's treatment.
RAPID 1 achieved its co-primary endpoint, the inhibition of progression of structural damage, with a statistically significantly smaller change from baseline in modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS)[a] observed at week 52 in both CIMZIA(TM) treatment arms (400mg at week zero, week two and week four followed by 200mg every two weeks; or 400mg every two weeks) compared with the placebo treated arm (p<0.001).
The study also showed that in both active treatment arms CIMZIA(TM) improved the signs and symptoms of RA to a clinically statistically significantly greater degree than the placebo arm in patients who had inadequately responded to methotrexate alone (p<0.001).
Similar results were observed with a second pivotal Phase III study of CIMZIA(TM) in RA, RAPID 2, using CIMZIA(TM)'s new subcutaneous liquid formulation.
In both RAPID 1 and RAPID 2, the primary endpoint, ACR 20 response[b] at 24 weeks, was significantly higher in both CIMZIA(TM) treated arms than in the placebo treated arm (p<0.001) . In both studies there was no significant difference between response levels in either of the CIMZIA(TM) treatment arms. ACR 50 and ACR 70 responses were also both achieved with statistical significance in both studies.
RAPID 1 and RAPID 2 demonstrated that effective results in the treatment of RA can be achieved with a 400mg total monthly dose of CIMZIA(TM) -- a higher dose is not necessary.
"These results are significant. They showed, for the first time, that the Fc region present in conventional anti-TNFs is not required for activity in rheumatoid arthritis", commented Professor Edward Keystone, Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto, Canada. "These data confirm that certolizumab pegol may provide a valuable new treatment option for patients with this condition."
CIMZIA(TM) was also shown to have a rapid onset of action: approximately three-quarters of actively-treated patients, who achieved ACR 20 at week 24, actually reached ACR 20 within four weeks.
"The RAPID 1 and 2 studies showed consistent and robust efficacy with both the lyophilized and liquid formulations of certolizumab pegol," added Professor Joseph Smolen, Chairman of the Department of Rheumatology, Medical University of Vienna, Austria. "Interestingly, both studies show that maximal response can be achieved as early as 12 to 16 weeks."
The safety and tolerability profile of CIMZIA(TM) in both studies was consistent with that expected of an anti-TNF agent.
Further data from both RAPID 1 and RAPID 2 will be presented at major international rheumatology congresses later this year. Preparation for a licence submission in the treatment of RA is ongoing, with filing planned in the second half of 2007.

[a] The mTSS (modified Total Sharp Score) assesses bone erosion and joint space narrowing measured by X-ray. A smaller change in mTSS reflects less progression of joint damage.[1]
[b] ACR (American College of Rheumatology) response scores measure improvement in the tender and swollen joint count and also include assessment of the following five parameters: patient's global assessment, physician's global assessment, patient's assessment of pain, degree of disability, and level of acute-phase reactant. ACR20 is achieved when there is 20% improvement in the tender and swollen joint count as well as a 20% improvement in at least three of the five parameters. ACR50 & ACR70 are an extension of these criteria corresponding to a 50% and 70% improvement respectively.[2]

Mercedes Benz SLK Forum > Mercedes Benz R170 SLK Class Cars > SLK R170 class DIY > Intermittent seat adjustment problem. Seat relay fix.
Intermittent seat adjustment problem. Seat relay fix.
I performed this repair a while ago and still have some pics.
The problem I came up with is that sometimes my both seats wouldn't adjust out of a sudden. I was cleaning the car and has folded both of my seats, opened the roof and was busy busy cleaning =) Then, when I was done I had to go and pick up my wife. And guess what... My seats would not adjust!!! They stayed in this awkward position where I wasn't even able to drive... That was awful! After some jiggling wiggling - turning ignition on/off, starting the car, kicking the tires, cleaning the headlights.. I just gave up and went home. Couple minutes later I came up to the car and... Both seats started working!!! I immediately adjusted them in the comfortable position and the same evening went to research the problem!
The problem is that over the time the contacts on the seat relay get "cracked" and it causes intermittent failure.
2. Solder cracked connections! (Really cheap and easy)!
c. Solder cleaner (optional). I used wet sponge.
So, to fix that you first need to disassemble the lower dashboard.
For the instructions, please follow these directions all the way to step 9.
Now you need to open it. Use a flat-head screwdriver or any other similar tool. Be careful to take a note how the contact board is located so you don't damage when sticking your screwdriver in!!!
I pointed to the cracked contacts on the picture. Mine had about 5-7 of them!!!!! I think it happened due to extensive heat here in Texas.
Inspect your relay for cracked contacts! It may contain 1 or many!
Get a solder iron. (You can borrow one from your friend or buy one at Radioshack). Then get some solder. DO NOT buy cheap one in a dollar store! Get one from Radioshack. Will cost you $3-5.
Then just get to work! Here are some of the tutorials which helped me!
Make sure all cracks are covered with solder!
After you're done assemble the relay and plug it back in. Test if your seats work!
As I've said I did mine couple months ago and it works fine!

See now Jayson.........If you had Manual seats like i do, you wouldn't have this problem! Also it cuts down on some major weight, so therefore my car is faster than yours because of the weight reduction (; Have a great day!
Btw, great DIY post as usual, I'm sure this will be helpfull to some people!
Hope it will help somebody to save a buck! You have a good day too!
Hahaha yeahh, im not a racer either and our cars aren't really meant to be drove like one either!
Jayson, Thanks again for such a great post ! With your instructions and photographs, the process of locating and accessing the seat control relay was greatly assisted. (I believe that MB designers went way out of their way to position that relay into nearly the most inaccessible location possible). As luck would have it, Saturday I was able to schedule time for the repair task, and the seats were working fine. Knowing the problem would reoccur - at probably the most inopportune time, I went ahead and removed the relay to "fix it". Unfortunately, all the solder connections looked fine - even checked fine with a VOM. So I cleaned the contacts and reseated the relay into its socket. Again, everything worked great - until the next day. The only thing I can imagine is that the actual relay contacts themselves have become worn to the point that the connection is intermittent. I suppose I should go ahead and purchase a replacement relay - I found one for $36.43 including shipping - which is probably not too bad.
At least, thanks to you, I know where it it and how to get to it !
A GREAT BIG THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TERRIFIC POST!!!
You're welcome Rob! Glad you sorted it out! Indeed, the location of the relay is not the most convenient one (: I'm not good with electronic boards so I can just keep wondering what can go wrong with the relay. It's been a long time since I fixed mine and it works just fine! Well, at least $35 is not that bad!
Vehicle: '14 SLK 55 AMG Silver ( past ) '06 SLK 55 AMG Bright Blue, '03 SLK 320 black, '00 SLK 230 blue.
I got my 'new' slk 320 this morning and one of the faults I had on delivery was a lack of any life in the electric seats.
Read through this thread popped out the lower panel and removed a really crummy hands free kit and it's mic and buttons and stripped and resoldered the seat relay.
I must add here that I have been soldering stuff for more than 30 years and I know what a dry ( cracked ) joint looks like but visually my relay looked good so I wasn't too hopefull that this was going to fix things.
Plugged the relay back in and hey presto! Working seats.
JasonM as the kids say .......... Legend!
jbanks15 and El_Murcielago like this.
Jayson is truly a whiz kid!
First of all, congratulations on new car! Hope you like it!
I'm glad that it resolved your problem!
You all are making me blush =) LOL!
I don't know who had this in his signature but I liked these words: "Everything can be fixed with a little patience!
So the other day, I get in the car in the morning, and I noticed, my power seats wouldn't move forward [they were both working fine the night before]. Let me clarify, they weren't working AT all. So I immediately thought ok Ill check the fuses, but after about 5 minutes of driving, suddenly both worked fine. The mechanic/lawyer at work said it wasn't a fuse issue, it was a connectivity issue.
And while today I have no problems with the seats I wanted to look through the threads to see what it possibly could be.
And this was the second thread. I thought it was worth bumping even after all this time. Thanks for the great DIY J.
Cheers for the easy tutorial... I have been putting this job off for over a year; I had to drive around for over half an hour before my last mot, last July, til they decided to work (its came on the UK mot that seats must adjust).
Five minute fix as I already had my lower dash off to modify the ignition to keyless, and didn't want the same rigmarole this year for mot.
Removed, opened, one dry joint soldered, closed, replaced and tested. Job done.
Thanks, the power seats on my SLK quit working. With your instructions I just might be able to fix it.
My dead seats are isolated to the door being open. With the key on, they both work fine. With the door open and key off, they are dead. I can hear the relay click in the dash when the door switch is pushed. Could a faulty K24 relay still be causing this situation?
Update: Saw a couple of people say to hit the bottom of the dash. So I did and the seats started working! So maybe it is the K24 relay? I can't explain why I heard the relay (or maybe it was a different relay) clicking, but the seats still wouldn't work. Something was going on in there. Chances are, it's the relay. I never did actually see the relay, so will have to dig deeper behind the insulation. I'll see if the suspect solder joint is cracked and repair it.

or the instructions, please follow these directions all the way to step 9.
are not available. Could you repost them please.
That site has been down for a long time.
Can anyone post the instructions for how you remove the dashborad to get to the relay. they are no longer available at the url listed in JasonM instructions.

In this age of accountability, and irrespective of whether they work in health-care settings or conventional mental health settings, all therapists will be increasingly expected to provide effective psychosocial treatment to individuals and families who face co-morbid medical conditions. Statistics these conditions are daunting: 75 percent of adults over age 65 and 50 percent of Americans constantly experience chronic medical symptoms, and prevalence rates of chronic medical conditions that are more than three times higher than mental illness. While it can be helpful to conceptualize treatment in terms of individual dynamics and utilize cognitive behavioral strategies, it can be much more effective to conceptualize family as well as individual dynamics and to utilize systemic interventions when indicated. Effective Treatment of Individuals and Families Facing Medical Conditions addresses the need for these types of interventions. It provides background information on 12 common medical conditions, and includes discussions of family dynamics as well as medical and psychosocial treatments. While recognizing the role of personality, culture, and illness dynamics, it emphasizes the centrality of family dynamics in conceptualizing and implementing interventions.

Want a Quick Jupyter Notebook?
If you have been hearing about Jupyter (formerly iPython) and have not tried it out, here are a couple quick, free, and easy options for giving it a try. No installation need, and no account setup. Just visit a link.
Try Jupyter and tmpnb are two projects for instantly getting a jupyter notebook with just a simple URL. Tmpnb was created by Rackspace for Nature and Try Jupyter is a demo from the main Jupyter website. I believe both projects use the same open source code found on GitHub. They might even be 2 URLs to the same infrastructure.
The major limitation is the lack of an ability to comeback to your notebook later (which is not a problem if you host the Jupyter notebook on your own). The notebooks die after some time of inactivity, but you can always create a new one. For more on the design decisions, see the Rackspace blog post, How did we serve more than 20,000 IPython notebooks for Nature readers? or join the open source project on GitHub.
If you have been wishing to try our Jupyter, it cannot get much easier than these options.

Meat Puppets - Monsters (CD)
MEAT PUP
Meat Puppets' sixth album with bonus tracks.
The last Meat Puppets album of the eighties was also their last one for an independent label. It wasn't long after the Fall 1989 release of 'Monsters' that the Meat Puppets were off and running for newer and bigger things! For this reissue, three tracks have been added, filling out the album's running time to almost an hour. Along with two completely different versions of 'Flight of the Fire Weasel,' also included is a recently discovered never before heard tune, 'Wish Upon a Storm.' Recorded during the demos for 'Monsters' but inexplicably left off the final album, it has been newly remixed for this edition.
Label: MVD AUDIO


Perhaps the first choice to make about where to stay is choosing between Buda and Pest. Buda is generally much quieter than Pest, and it's where you find not only the castle district, and cobblestone streets but some plush residential areas, with rows of mansion houses sitting side-by-side. In Pest however, especially inner-city Pest, you're seldom more than a few minutes walk away from bars and restaurants – or come to that, museums, galleries and shops. If it's views that you crave, there are panoramic vistas from the hills of Buda or across the river in Pest, along the Danube riverbank.

Daltons Wadkin has already seen record sales of Salvador automatic crosscut saws in 2016. Having just returned from a visit to the Salvador production facility Alex Dalton enthuses on all things Salvador.
Founded 35 years ago by Giorgio Salvador in Northern Italy, the family run business now solely concentrates on the production and continual development of automatic crosscut saws. This dedicated focus has seen the name Salvador become synonymous with high quality, reliable crosscutting solutions.
There are three models most suited to UK manufacturing from the Salvador range, all available for viewing and demonstration from specialist supplier Daltons Wadkin.
For automatic optimising and defecting at 90° the SuperPush 200 has a 30° inclined working plane making loading simple and ensuring the workpiece is kept square. The heavy duty pusher runs up to 120 m/min and will process pieces up to 110 kg with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 mm. The actual cutting time can be regulated between 0.1 to 2 seconds depending on the material with an automatic pressure beam adjusting to the material height minimising processing time.
Varying lengths of timber can be individually pre-loaded onto the infeed table and the machine will scan and measure each piece individually, looking for marked defects before optimising the lengths to be cut to ensure maximum yield. Alternatively multiple lengths can be stacked in packs and the cutting lists optimised further increasing processing efficiency.
For maximum crosscutting speed and efficiency at 90° the SuperPush 250 features a chain infeed loading system allowing single or multiple stacked workpieces to be automatically and continuously fed into the machine.
The range of out feed options available for the SuperPush range include waste trap door, tilt-and-return collection plane, automatic outfeed length selector and label or injet printing.
Increasingly popular in the UK market the SuperAngle will optimise and defect angled cutting lists up to +/- 70° with a precision of +/- 0.1° taking no more than 1 second to position from 0 to 70°. As with the SuperPush models the SuperAngle is available with chain infeed loading and automatic outfeed options depending on your requirements.
As with all Salvador automatic crosscuts the SuperAngle is equipped as standard with a full PC control running powerful but simple to operate cutting software. The machine can run in standard automatic cut to length mode, optimising mode, or defecting mode. Cutting lists can be programmed quickly at the machine using a standard keyboard and large 19" monitor, or remotely at an office based PC via a spreadsheet or from third party production software.
'We have customers wanting to remove the skill level entirely from the machine operator, while other customers want the operator to double check cutting lists from the office to spot any human errors. The Salvador will work however you want', says Alex.
'Each Salvador installation is different. Even within the same industry each customer has a different working process. At Daltons Wadkin we involve our highly skilled technicians from the start to analyse cutting lists, existing production methods and provide a recommendation for a suitable specification and crucially a reliable time scale for return on investment. With ever increasing competition squeezing margins it is not enough to simply say "you need an automatic crosscut". The correct specification with reliable back up is key. With almost limitless configurations within the Salvador range we take great care in our responsibility to suitably advise our customers'.
'There are some exciting new developments in the Salvador range this year and we will be exhibiting with our largest ever Daltons Wadkin stand at W16 with Salvador taking centre stage'.

Happy Birthday Miley Cyrus
Happy Birthday to Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus; November 23, 1992). She is an American singer, actress, and songwriter. Her father is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. In 2006, Cyrus rose to prominence as a teen idol after being cast in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, in which she portrayed the starring character Miley Stewart. After signing a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2007, Cyrus released her debut studio album Meet Miley Cyrus. It was certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for exceeding four million shipments, and produced the hit single "See You Again".
In 2008, Cyrus released her second album Breakout, which featured the successful track "7 Things", and launched her film career as the voice actress in the animated film Bolt. In 2009, Cyrus starred in the feature filmHannah Montana: The Movie; its soundtrack produced the hit single "The Climb". Cyrus developed a maturing image with the EP The Time of Our Lives (2009), which featured the successful track "Party in the U.S.A.". The transition continued with her third album Can't Be Tamed (2010); however, it made little commercial impact and became the lowest-selling record of her career. Later that year, Cyrus starred in the coming-of-age filmThe Last Song. During its production, she was involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with her co-star Liam Hemsworth; the couple ultimately separated after ending their year-long engagement in 2013.
Cyrus focused on her acting career with several television and film appearances throughout 2011 and 2012. Cyrus later signed a recording contract with RCA Records, and generated controversy by cultivating a sexually explicit public image while promoting her fourth studio album Bangerz (2013). Its singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" were promoted with controversial music videos; the latter became her first number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Cyrus has had five non-consecutive number-one albums on the U.S. Billboard 200, two of which are soundtracks credited to her titular character Hannah Montana, and has earned numerous awards and nominations. In 2010, Cyrus ranked number thirteen on Forbes ' Celebrity 100, and was named the "Most Charted Teenager" in the 2011 Guinness World Records with twenty-nine Billboard Hot 100 entries as of November 2009. In 2013, she was declared "Artist of the Year" by MTV.

So you ask yourself....What exactly is VIDA?
VIDA is a community gathering space, a party, a Sunday Funday designed with QUEER LGBTQ women in mind. A place where we can come together and smile, laugh, dance, play Jenga, Cards, Board Games, or Beer Pong, meet new friends, be ourselves, live OUR lives…and even dance to some dope DJs that will take us on a musical journey from reggae & dancehall all the way to hip-hop, salsa, and whatever else they feel like throwing in!
*Dominoes, Beer Pong, & Board Games etc.
*And of course a dance floor for some bootie shakin' with some of the dopest DJs in the Bay Area!
