Ghassan Kanafani (en árabe: غسان كنفاني, Acre, Mandato británico de Palestina, 9 de abril de 1936 - Beirut, Líbano, 8 de julio de 1972) fue un escritor palestino que participó activamente en la causa palestina: fue cofundador del Frente Popular para la Liberación de Palestina y redactor jefe del diario Al-Hadaf. Escribió seis novelas, varias recopilaciones de teatro, tres obras de teatro y tres libros de ensayo literario. En 1972 fue asesinado por los israelíes en Beirut (Líbano) en un atentado con coche bomba a la edad de 36 años.

Biografía
Ghassan Kanafani nació en Acre, el 9 de abril de 1936 en el seno de una familia de clase media. Su padre, abogado y de confesión suní fue maestro en diferentes escuelas francesas. Siendo muy joven toda su familia se traslada a Haifa hasta que, en 1948, se exilió con su familia al sur del Líbano para posteriormente asentarse definitivamente en Damasco (Siria). Será en Damasco donde Kanafani complete su formación secundaria y, posteriormente, estudie literatura en la Universidad de Damasco. En 1952, obtiene el título de maestro de la UNWRA (Organismo de Obras Públicas y Socorro de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados en Palestina en Oriente Próximo). En el mismo año entrará en el departamento de filología árabe de la Universidad de Damasco dónde, bajo la supervisión del Dr. George Habash escribirá su tesis "Raza y religión en la literatura sionista". Será durante su estancia en Damasco donde Kanafani comience sus actividades políticas implicándose en la organización panarabista Movimiento Nacionalista Árabe (MNA)

En 1955, como consecuencia de sus actividades políticas en el MNA, es expulsado de Damasco estableciéndose en Kuwait donde ejercerá como maestro hasta 1960. En su estancia en Kuwait, Kanafani consolida su compromiso político convirtiéndose en editor del periódico del MNA al-ra'i (رأي, La Opinión) e interesándose por el marxismo. Será también en Kuwait donde Kanafani comience su actividad literaria escribiendo relatos cortos.

En 1960 su antiguo director de tesis, George Habash, le convence para que se traslade a Beirut (donde pasara el resto de sus días) y se una al equipo del periódico oficial del MNA al-ḥurriyya (حرية, libertad). En 1962 entrará en la clandestinidad a consecuencia de su falta de papeles. En 1963 asumirá el cargo de redactor jefe del periódico al-muḥarrir (محرر, El Libertador) y de editor de su revista dominical filistīn (فلسطين, Palestina). Será también durante este año cuando Kanafani escriba su primera y más aclamada novela riŷāl fī-š-šams (رجال في الشمس, Hombres en el sol).

En 1967, continuará con sus actividades políticas entrando a formar parte, como redactor jefe del suplemento dominical de la revista libanesa Al-anwar (árabe: الانوار; español: Las luces). Destaca su participación en la fundación del Frente Popular para la Liberación de Palestina (una escisión, de corte marxista-leninista, del MNA). En 1969 renunciará a su puesto como editor de al-anwar para crear el semanario al-hadaf (الهدف, El Objetivo).

El 8 de julio de 1972 la agencia de inteligencia israelí Mossad, asesina a Kanafani - y a su sobrina Lamis de corta edad - en un atentado con coche bomba en respuesta al atentado del aeropuerto de Lod, reivindicado por el Ejército Rojo Japonés. Tras su muerte, Kanafani se convirtió en un icono del pueblo palestino y la fecha de su aniversario, el 9 de abril, se ha convertido en un día de celebración de su vida y obra.

Obra literaria
A pesar de haber muerto a la edad de 36 años, Kanafani fue un autor prolífico. Escribió cuatro novelas completas (y tres inacabadas), cincuenta y siete relatos breves (recogidos en cuatro recopilaciones) tres obras de teatro completas (y una incompleta) tres ensayos literarios y una multitud de artículos periodísticos. La temática de la obra de Kanafani plantea (e intenta dar respuestas) a cuestiones como la identidad palestina, la patria (y la tierra) perdida, la situación de los refugiados o la toma de conciencia individual y colectiva. Sin embargo, la obra de Kanafani excede los límites de la situación palestina planteando temas universales como la felicidad pasada, el drama de la inmigración o la relación entre tiempo y memoria.

Pero si un tema destaca entre todos los demás, éste es la construcción de la nación Palestina a través de la narración. La obra de Kanafani no sólo es una crónica de su tiempo o una forma de denunciar la situación del pueblo palestino. La obra de Kanafani responde a la necesidad de construir (textualmente) una nación que, hasta el desastre de 1948, no había tenido la necesidad de hacerlo. En su obra, la nación palestina es una narración que se construye mediante diferentes herramientas textuales (la idea nación-narración se define ampliamente en la obra de K. Bhabha Nation and Narration).Kanafani utiliza diferentes recursos estilísticos como el simbolismo, el diálogo interior, el recuerdo o las impresiones sensoriales para, tal y como Yahya Hassan y Noritah Omar sugieren, crear una tierra, una nación y crearse un espacio para él y su gente.

Barack Obama's CIA chief, John Brennan, told the Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus, on 15 September 2016, in Washington DC, that when he had applied in 1980 to join the CIA, he admitted to them that in the 1976 Presidential election, when Jimmy Carter was running against Gerald Ford, Brennan had voted instead for the candidate of the US Communist Party, Gus Hall, and that he was then greatly relieved to find that this information didn't cause rejection of his CIA-application. This had happened 11 years before the 1991 end of the Cold War (which ended actually only on the Russian side, but not also on the US-NATO side, where it continues without stop, and has accelerated since 2014, now finally being joined by both sides).
However, a little coverage of Brennan's remarkable statement did appear in the press, first, as a sparse and poorly written news-report on CNN that didn't even mention where Brennan had made the remark (nor in which year he had voted that way), and, then, finally a week later, in a professionally competent news-report, at Buzzfeed, titled "Congress Doesn't Really Care That The CIA Chief Once Voted Communist", and reporting, on September 22nd, that, "Brennan copped to the vote in little-noticed remarks last week [September 15th] at the Congressional Black Caucus's annual conference. The spy chief spoke of his stomach-turning fear while undergoing the vetting process to be employed at the CIA in 1980 — strapped to a polygraph during the height of the Cold War," and "Brennan said he came clean about the his 1976 ballot during the polygraph, expecting it to disqualify him from a clearance. But to the director's surprise, he was offered admission to the agency, and, nearly 40 years later, landed in the top office." Furthermore, when Buzzfeed's reporter, Ali Watkins, asked some US Senators what they thought about Obama's having selected to run the CIA a man who only a few years prior to joining the CIA had voted for the communist candidate, Gus Hall, none seemed to care. Whereas the war against communism had ended, the war against Russia still has not, and so Senators from both Parties didn't want to talk about the matter — didn't want to draw the public's attention to the clear fact now, that the ideological excuse for the Cold War had been merely a fake, a rationalization, all along, on the American-NATO side; that the Cold War was never really about communism at all, but about conquest, on the American side — that Soviet, and then Russian, leaders had been conned into thinking that abandonment of communism and ending the Warsaw Pact mirror to America's NATO military alliance, would bring peace with The West. Increasingly since 1991, it has been made clear that Russian leaders had been swindled.

Our company is known as down-feather-pillows manufacturer, supplier and exporter from India.


Your assignment: Face rejection 10 times, for a start that is. You're likely thinking that sounds rather unpleasant, but we're serious. Acrylic Artist magazine has found a common thread running through most artists' stories—they faced rejection, and overcame it, on the road to artistic success.
Remember when blogs first became the rage? People wondered what the point was of writing and posting our words if no one would ever see or read them. The same holds true for our art.
Unless you're truly only making art for your own enjoyment, then this advice is not for you. But you're still reading so likely you want your art to be seen by others, to be appreciated and purchased.
We've learned that the road to successfully selling art frequently travels through a lot of rejection. Fortunately, persistence and learning lessons from those experiences will serve you well on the journey.
Acrylic artist and author Konni Jensen, who's featured in the Spring 2017 issue of Acrylic Artist, shares that even after working in sales in her first career, selling herself to galleries is no simple task.
"Selling yourself and your art is harder than selling for an established business because they already have a name," she explains.
But getting in front of prospective customers is exactly what you have to do if you want to create income with your art.
You must remember, not everyone will like your art—not every buyer, gallery, juried art show or publication. But more importantly, many will.
It's your job to put yourself and your art out there, face possible rejection and keep creating art you believe in.
Jensen doesn't let her insecurity get in her way. Rather, she has found ways to put the focus on her art, not herself.
"I'm far more comfortable making small talk and then organically steering the conversation into talking about what I have done and what I would like to do," she says. Once the conversation has shifted to art, she pulls up her website to let her art speak for itself.
She also recommends creating a look book or catalog for galleries that explains the pieces and shows the art in a living room setting so people can imagine the work in a home or gallery.
Randy Van Dyck, another acrylic painter also featured in Acrylic Artist's Spring 2017 issue, embraces the idea of rejection. His inspiration: an artist friend who saves her rejection letters and treats them as something she has earned.
Do my pieces go together?
Does the collection have a theme, and do the pieces tell a story?
Is it an interesting story or have they seen it before?
Do you have enough pieces?
Why should they show you and not another artist?
Give your elevator speech when visiting a gallery (that succinct explanation of your art and what you can do for them). Be ready to share pictures of a proposed line you want them to display in the gallery. And of course, tell the exciting story about your artwork.
Do your homework and research galleries to see if your art is a natural fit for them; don't waste their time if your work clearly isn't something they show. For example, galleries specializing in classical fine art are not going to accept modern abstract.
Taking risks has value. You'll hone your presentation skills, discover what works when someone says yes and gain confidence. Get out into the art community, visit gallery openings, see what's being shown, and make it a goal to meet new people. Introduce yourself and ask to book a follow-up meeting where you can more fully pitch yourself and your art.
To learn more about these featured acrylic artists and to read about techniques and tips you can try today, peruse through the Spring issue of Acrylic Artist.
Do you need more motivation to start showing your art? Check out this inspirational story from acrylic artist Nancy Reyner about how she felt seeing her paintings hanging in a gallery.

As you can probably tell from the amount of articles we post about it, Leicester's food scene is really hotting up.
So much so, that Booking.com named Leicester one of the Top 10 food destinations in the UK last month.
But with so many new places to try, we can't blame you if you occasionally end up feeling a bit… skint.
So we set out to find some of the cheapest meals in the city.
Eating at the places on this list can cost you under £10 a head for a main course or meal deal, plus a drink – and some cost as little as a fiver.
They might not be a full on three course meal, but if you want to treat yourself to a meal out while keeping the costs down – give one of these places a try.
This unassuming café on Queens Road secretly puts out some of the best value grub in the city.
On weekday evenings, their two for £10 menu includes posh pasta dishes like prawn and asparagus risotto, and chicken linguine with fresh basil, garlic and chili.
During the day there's a choice of great value breakfasts, jacket potatoes, salads and deli style sandwiches – not to mention their amazing homemade cakes.
It's well known for its unique cinema, but did you know that Phoenix has a café bar too?
Their huge menu has everything from brunch to burritos, plus healthy children's meals for just £4 (make sure you check out the specials board too).
There are also some great offers if you want to watch a film, including the Film & Dine for £15.80, or Lazy Sunday brunch for £13.95.
This vegetarian Indian restaurant has gained quite a reputation for its healthy buffet, which includes freshly made dosa brought right to your table.
With the buffet starting from £4.95 on a weekday lunchtime, you can definitely get your five a day in one sitting with the variety of vegetable curries and salads on offer.
Even the Saturday price (£7.95) will see you with change from a tenner for the buffet, plus a drink.
Example meal for two : two lunch buffets and two soft drinks = around £12.
This rustic café is a Midlands vegetarian institution, and is known for its quirky interior with wooden beams and kitschy décor.
With hearty, hot dishes including casseroles, jacket potatoes and pies, it's the kind of food that's filling enough without the meat.
For something a bit lighter they also offer fresh salads, soups and sandwiches, as well homemade cakes and puddings.
(Huge) example meal for two : two mains, one large salad, tea, large juice, and two cakes = £18.
Housed in the trendy LCB Depot, this café has been run by Grahame and his team since 2013.
A daily changing menu (follow them on social media for updates), they offer inventive sandwiches like halloumi and sumac or pork carnitas, plus larger luncheon dishes like beetroot and coconut curry with naan bread.
They're also well known for their inventive guest burgers, which currently include a beef burger with peanut butter, smoked streaky bacon and maple syrup, and a jackfruit patty with cheddar, BBQ sauce and jackfruit crisps.
Nearby Cultural Quarter spot The Exchange serves up toasted ciabatta in the day, and pizza at night.
Pizzas are just £5 during happy hour, so you could treat yourself to a post-work dinner plus cocktail for under a tenner.
Did you know this classic Leicester fish and chip shop also has an eat-in restaurant?
Fish dishes including cod and haddock cost just £7.45 and come with chips, plus a choice of mushy peas, beans, curry sauce or a salad.
Go for a cheaper vegetarian or chicken dish and you'll even have enough to stretch to a beer or wine.
Why was Leicestershire snubbed from the Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award?
For something a bit meatier, you'll love this new chicken wing spot (although they do have a Portobello mushroom option, too).
Offering a healthier alternative to the typical chicken shop, Plukd only use ethically sourced British chicken, cut their fries by hand and make all their sauces in-house.
And the prices are great too – value meals with a side and a drink cost up to £5 – so even if you step it up with extra wings and sides, you'll struggle to spend over a tenner a head.
Another new kid on the block, Grounded Kitchen do healthy Asian-inspired rice bowls called "Buddha bowls".
With vegetarian, vegan, chicken and beef options, there's something for everyone.
Bowls start from £4.50, but they also have a Nourish + Quench set meal that includes a Buddha bowl, plus a nutrient dense Thirst Quencher juice.
Originally hailing from Nottingham, this pizzeria offers authentic Neapolitan-style pizza with a range of interesting toppings.
Pizzas cost up to £9.50, but if you stick to the cheaper options (which are still huge) you can keep prices under £10 a head, including a soft drink.
There is also a great value lunch deal including a choice of pizza dough Panini for £4, or £5 with a soft drink.


The Mediterranean Diet and the MIND Diet – which stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay – are styles of eating that have been shown to promote brain vitality, improve cognition and reduce the risk of dementia. Both dietary eating styles include many brain healthy superfoods packed with Omega-3s, healthy fats and antioxidants.
In the United States, 40 states have enacted a law to help family caregivers care for their parents or senior loved ones after a hospital discharge. The law is called the CARE Act – but what is the act and how can caregivers get access to it?
Learn more about the CARE Act and how it can help caregivers after a loved one's hospitalization or rehabilitation facility stay.
The CARE (Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable) Act was enacted to help the growing number of family caregivers bridge the gap between medical procedures in the hospital and the hospital discharge to home.
In other words, the CARE Act helps caregivers know what to do and how to do it after a parent or senior loved one's hospitalization.
Inform the family caregiver in advance when a loved one will be discharged from a hospital/rehabilitation facility to another facility or discharged to home.
Keep on record the contact information and name of the family caregiver at the hospital or rehabilitation center the loved one is admitted to.
Provide teaching (including an explanation and live instruction) to family caregivers about any type of medical tasks — such as how to transfer the patient, medication management and wound care, etc. — that the caregiver will need to do, once a loved one is discharged from the hospital.
According to an AARP report, approximately 34.2 million Americans have provided unpaid care to an adult age 50 or older in the past 12 months.
Most caregivers don't feel confident performing some of the highly technical procedures that their loved ones need without any type of formal education. This is one reason that AARP proposed the CARE Act across the country.
States that are not listed above have not yet passed the CARE Act.
If you are one of the 40 million family caregivers in the U.S. who cares for an aging parent or senior loved one, you may already know how stressful a hospitalization can be. The CARE Act is a tool that AARP hopes will help caregivers, who need all the support they can get while caring for a loved one after a hospitalization or rehabilitation facility stay.
Has the CARE Act been passed in your state? What has your experience been like caring for a loved one after a hospital discharge? We'd like to hear your stories and thoughts in the comments below.
Researchers decided to learn more about the links between falls, high blood pressure, and high blood pressure medication in older women. They published their study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
The research team used information from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health (OPACH) study. This study was designed to examine the risk of falls for older women (aged 50 to 79) based on their high blood pressure status. (High blood pressure is often defined as having a reading of 140 mmHg for your "systolic" blood pressure and 90 mmHg or higher for your "diastolic" blood pressure).
Among women with high blood pressure, the researchers looked at participants who did or did not take medication to control their condition. They also took note of the participants' blood pressure readings over the course of the study.
5,971 women in the study received home visits. Most of the women were in their late 70s. During the visits, the participants had their blood pressure tested. They also were tested to measure their balance, walking speed, and their ability to stand from a seated position. The women also kept calendars for 13 months showing whether or not they had experienced a fall, or if they had come close to falling.
The researchers concluded there was no increased risk of falls among women who took high blood pressure medication compared to those whose blood pressure readings were normal.
In fact, women whose blood pressure was normal with medication had a 15 to 20 percent lower risk of falls compared to women who didn't have high blood pressure.
The researchers also concluded that taking medication to reduce high blood pressure was not linked to falls in older women. However, other researchers looking at studies with large numbers of participants have found that the risk of falls increased in the first several weeks after people began taking medication to reduce high blood pressure. The increased risk disappeared after the first several weeks.
The researchers suggested that healthcare practitioners measure blood pressure carefully in the office, and potentially have blood pressure measurements taken at home to confirm whether older women need to take medication to lower high blood pressure.
While the risk of a serious fall injury is low for women taking medication for high blood pressure, the researchers suggested that it makes sense to monitor patients for the first few weeks after starting a new medication to reduce high blood pressure—or after raising the dosage for a medication they're already taking. The researchers said that for women who are doing well and tolerating a new prescription after the first several weeks, it seems likely that they can enjoy the long-term health benefits of better blood pressure control without an increased risk for falls.

COVID 19 Delhi Health Minister: 'Wrong to say there is no Singapore strain'
Delhi Health Minister: 'Wrong to say there is no Singapore strain'
MFA 'regrets unfounded assertions'
By Obbana Rajah
New Delhi — After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday (May 18) that a variant of the coronavirus found in Singapore could cause a third wave in India, Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain categorically stated that it is "wrong to say that there is no Singapore strain".
The Delhi Health Minister added that the Covid-19 strain found in Singapore is different from the one found in India, India TV news reported on Wednesday (May 19).
Mr Jain's reaction came after Singapore refuted Mr Kejriwal's claim that a "very dangerous" strain of the coronavirus was prevalent in Singapore and that could affect children the most.
In a press statement on Wednesday (May 19), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it "regrets the unfounded assertions made on Facebook and Twitter" by Mr Kejriwal that a "variant of Covid-19 found in Singapore was particularly harmful to children and could cause a third wave of infections in India".
"MFA is disappointed that a prominent political figure had failed to ascertain the facts before making such claims," said the ministry.
"MFA met the High Commissioner of India P Kumaran this morning to express these concerns."
As highlighted by MOH, there is no "Singapore variant", MFA also said. "The strain prevalent in many of the Covid-19 cases in recent weeks is the B16172 variant, which was first detected in India."
In a tweet on Tuesday (May 18), Mr Kejriwal wrote: "The new form of Corona that came to Singapore is being said to be extremely dangerous for children, in India it may come as a third wave".
He added: "My appeal to the central government:
1. Air services with Singapore to be canceled (sic) with immediate effect
2. Priority on vaccine options should be worked out for children too."
The "central government" is the Indian government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Delhi, officially the National Capital Territory of Delhi, has its own local government like other Indian states and union territories with its own legislature and chief minister.

You can teach hands on nutrition education classes like cooking classes, or grocery store tours. Providing education programs at schools, corporations, farms, or gyms. Lunch and learns and webinars (hours include development of these programs). You could also consult as a nutrition professional. During IFNS we will cover all the possible ways you can work toward your certification hours.
Why do i need supervision?
Credentialing bodies like BCNS require supervision of applied practice hours. If you are seeking licensure (please check your state nutrition laws on the Center for Nutrition Advocacy website) you will need supervision.
Outside of the practical need for supervision, Dr. Jaime Schehr will help guide you to be a better clinician and apply integrative and functional nutrition concepts in practice.
what if i apply for the 200 hour cohort but want to continue and complete 400 hours?
If you apply and are accepted into the 200 hour cohort you will complete your commitment within the first 8 weeks. If you want to continue and complete an additional 200 hours you are welcome to continue, space permitted.
I would love to acquire hours but I am in no rush to complete them. Is it possible to acquire hours in a slower fashion?
The short answer is yes. We will consider a slow track hour acquisition on a case by case basis. Please be sure to mention this in your application and interview.
Are there limitations to practice?
The supervisee should operate within the scope of practice indicated by state laws where the client resides. To learn more about state nutrition laws, visit the Center for Nutrition Advocacy website. It is up to the supervisee to get familiar with state licensing laws.
Will i be covered under dr. jaime's liability?
No. All students operate independently. Dr. Jaime Schehr and IFNS operate as an educational program, this program is not inteded to treat, provide medical advice, or substitute for medical care.

"The Organization and Management of Professional Football in Scandinavia"
The Business of Sport – Seminar Series
Room G01 – Clore Management Centre, Birkbeck College, Torrington Square, London WC1 7HX
Wednesday 14th May 2008 at 6pm

Given by:
Professor. Hallgeir Gammelsæter, Professor in Social Change, Organization and Management, Molde University College, Norway
The three Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden are small in population (around 20 million people) and as such they are commercially in the backyard of European football. To a large extent the same can be said about the sporting success of their clubs and national teams. Despite this, in all the three countries football is the biggest sport both in terms of the number of athletes participating and as a spectator sport. Compared to football in the UK, however, football is differently organized and managed.
Historically, football in Scandinavia came to be organized by voluntary non-profit organizations. Hence, football clubs comprise both elite football and youth and grass-root football. Up until recently there have been few proponents of separating the organization of elite football from the organization of amateur and grass-roots football. The predominating idea has been that the thinly populated Scandinavian countries could not produce international players unless their organizations have a wide reach that can secure a rich supply of talent.
In the presentation Professor Gammelsæter will explore the organization of Scandinavian male professional football and some of the tensions that the football organizations must deal with in a new era. Perhaps surprisingly, given the presumption that Scandinavia is still a fairly homogenous region which also characterizes its traditions in sport, there are some marked differences between the countries in organizing the sport. The presentation will therefore outline the paths that the Scandinavian countries have followed in managing their football, and also suggest some explanations for the diverging paths. Questions that will be raised are:
What are the similarities and differences at the association level, i.e. the way football is organized at the national level?
What is the impact of the two most important interest groups in men's football; the league associations and the player associations?
How are the top professional clubs in the three countries organized, and how can we explain the diversity between them?

For the past six years Hallgeir's research has gradually turned to the management of football in Scandinavia, including a research project on the organization of Norwegian clubs from which scientific journal articles are now being published. At present Hallgier is involved in a benchmarking study on Swedish and Norwegian football and in setting up a development program for top managers in Norwegian premier league clubs. In 2002 he published the book "Kampen uten ball" (The Match Played without Ball) with co-author Frode Ohr, focussing on the money, management, and identities in Norwegian professional football.

Hello, Archie! Meghan and Harry name son Archie Harrison
Tired but beaming, Meghan and Prince Harry have shown the public their baby son's face for the first time, and also revealed his name: Archie
LONDON — Tired but beaming, Meghan and Prince Harry showed the public their baby son's face for the first time on Wednesday, and also revealed his name: Archie.
The royal couple said their son, seventh in line to the British throne, is named Archibald Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. They have not chosen a grander title for the baby, who is not a prince but could have been named a lord.
The announcement came hours after the proud parents posed for cameras, helping to satisfy a huge global appetite for images and details about their newborn son.
Standing in the vast, red-carpeted St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle, Meghan declared the baby was "a dream" and called motherhood "magic."
Harry cradled his son in his arms as the couple posed for the cameras — the first in a lifetime of photo calls for the two-day-old baby, who is seventh in line to the British throne.
The baby lay silently, swaddled in a white merino wool shawl and wearing a matching knitted cap. Both were made by English firm G.H. Hurt & Son, which has supplied three generations of royal babies with knitwear.
Meghan declared motherhood to be "magic."
"It's pretty amazing," said the 37-year-old American, formerly known as Meghan Markle. "I have the two best guys in the world, so I'm really happy."
She said the baby — born Monday at 5:26 a.m. weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces (3.26 kilograms) — had "just been a dream."
"He has the sweetest temperament. He's really calm," she said.
Harry quipped: "I wonder who he gets that from."
Asked who the baby took after, Harry said it was too soon to tell.
"Everyone says that babies change so much over two weeks," said the 34-year-old prince. "We're basically monitoring how the changing process happens over this next month really. But his looks are changing every single day, so who knows.
"We're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy," he added.
The couple left the photo call to introduce the baby to his great-grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The infant is the eighth great-grandchild of 93-year-old Elizabeth, Britain's longest reigning monarch.
Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, is staying with the couple at their Frogmore Cottage home near the queen's Windsor Castle residence.
The baby is the first Anglo-American member of the royal family, and is eligible for U.S. citizenship should his parents want it. He has African-American heritage though his biracial mother.
Family members have welcomed the new arrival with Prince William, Harry's older brother and a father of three, joking Tuesday that he will be glad "to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting!"
"Obviously thrilled, absolutely thrilled, and obviously looking forward to seeing them in the next few days," William told reporters.
Meghan, the former star of the TV show "Suits," married Harry, the ex-soldier younger son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, in May 2018. An audience of millions around the world watched the spectacular televised wedding ceremony at Windsor Castle, 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of London.
Harry is due to return to royal duties Thursday, attending an event in The Hague for the Invictus Games sports competition for injured service personnel and veterans. Harry is likely to make the jaunt to the Netherlands as a day trip so he can get back to his family in Windsor.
A previous of this story corrected the status of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Philip to great-grandparents, not grandparents.

Hertfordshire has the distinction to be the first ever organised Scout County.
The birth of Scouting in Hertfordshire began at a dinner party in 1906 when Percy Everett met Baden-Powell. Over the next year a friendship developed and Percy was invited to help plan the experimental camp on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour.
After the camp in August 1907, Baden-Powell asked Percy to go home and set up Scouting in his home county of Hertfordshire.
Baden-Powell wanted a system and organisation to allow Scouting to develop and to be an example to other Commissioners when setting up their own county structures. It took Percy 2 years to set up 16 Districts, each with a management structure. The first Hertfordshire Troop met formally on 20 February 1908 and by November 1909 there were 29 Troops and 787 boys and leaders.
History & Heritage in Hertfordshire
Our County Museum is one of the oldest permanent Scout Museums in the UK having been created in 1957 to the memory of Haydn Dimmock. He was Editor of The Scout, a weekly paper that was published non-stop for 58 years. Haydn Dimmock was also a Hertfordshire Scout, living in Welwyn Garden City where both his sons were Scouts with the First Welwyn Troop.
The main role of the History & Heritage Support Team is to create a permanent record of Scouting in Hertfordshire, providing support to individuals, Groups and Districts when tracing their history or carrying out badge work. Guided tours of the Museum are available by appointment. A tour of the Museum can help considerably with certain aspects of Activity badge work and History & Heritage themed activities for all ages. The team are also available to come to your HQ and give an illustrated talk on the unique history of Scouting in Hertfordshire and how it helped to develop into an outstanding Scout County.

To study recording arts is to open your world to a wealth of opportunities in music, film, TV, and video games.
Whether you're dancing to the newest hit from an international pop star, enchanted by a 3D film at the cinema, or focused in as you strategize your next move in a multiplayer video game, you're engaged with the beats, melodies, and sound effects coming at you from all angles. But pop hits don't just emerge out of thin air and sound effects aren't just part of the scenery. The use of sound in all its multimedia formats makes up the recording arts. Recording arts in the US is a massive and dynamic industry and to study recording arts would be a chance to work on award-winning records or be a part of internationally renown video games, just to name a couple of opportunities.
What is Recording Arts?
Recording arts covers a variety of media formats, including music, live performance, music video, film, TV, professional presentations, corporate marketing, video games, and just about any other use of audio geared toward entertainment. When you study recording arts you will learn things like optimum microphone placement, the ins and outs of post-production audio, and the important elements of live sound. Recording arts in the US is a hands-on, fast-paced, and vastly interconnected business where technological skills, communication skills, and creativity are constantly in demand.
Studying Recording Arts in the US
The US is an entertainment hub for the world. With Hollywood, New York, Silicon Valley, and other entertainment centers like Orlando, Florida, there are thousands of opportunities for real-world training in or around state-of-the-art music production studios. Media production is a big area of growth in the US since all sorts of individuals and companies want to stay fresh as technology changes. Several schools in the US offer Associate of Science, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts degrees in the recording arts, in addition to smaller certificate programs alongside related majors. International students can study recording arts with more specialized institutions like The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University or can choose a more traditional schools like Indiana University and Ithaca College.
For international students most of these schools have the same entrance requirements as other undergraduate degrees. Schools do, however, suggest that incoming students have a background in music, such as being a musician or being familiar with music theory, and technology. The institutions also point out that good interpersonal communication skills and creativity are a plus.
The typical recording arts degree program is very hands-on and focuses on "lab" work. In these labs, though, your apparatus is often an expansive soundboard and your end product is not a chemical compound, but a sonic creation. Throughout recording arts degree programs the courses are heavy on technology, heavy on math, and heavy on certain aspects of physics. The first couple years of a program involve foundational courses like the physics of sound, acoustics, and music theory. As you progress you will take more specialized courses like audio production, recording software, and studio operations. Alongside these essential courses, most recording arts programs require contextual courses such as music history and music marketing. In addition to basic coursework, you will also work with active production projects, starting out as an assistant and working your way up to lead engineer positions. Most degree programs culminate with some sort of senior assignment that allows students to apply their knowledge and creativity to their own project.
Careers in Recording Arts
With the variety of media covered in the recording arts, international students face a similar variety of career opportunities. A degree in recording arts in the US opens the door to jobs in production, post-production, technical fields, archiving, and the general music business. Don't think that the recording arts are just for people looking to get into the music business. Production jobs can be found in radio stations, TV stations, amusement parks, and within many large corporations. Post-production jobs, such as mixing or remixing various media material, are just as diverse. For students more interested in the technical aspects of the recording arts, there are careers as an audio-visual equipment technician or assembler, a broadcast technician, an electronic technician, or a sound engineering technician. For students more interested in archival work, there are recording arts careers in management of audio-visual multimedia collections in museums, universities, libraries, and music centers all over the world. Finally, a recording arts degree gives international students a foot in the door into just about every part of the international music business, ranging from sales to manufacturing, and from advertising to performance.
To study recording arts is to open your world to a wealth of opportunities where you can combine your creative passions and your technical expertise into a fulfilling career in a dynamic industry.

VIMSAR patients suffer due to doctors' strike
December 3, 2018 By LocalWire Leave a Comment
Sambalpur, Dec 3 (LocalWire) Patients at Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (VIMSAR) are suffering due to a strike called by Junior Doctors' Association since Nov 17 in Odisha's Sambalpur district.
According to sources, due to unavailability of adequate doctors and emergency services, number of patients at the hospital has also decreased of late.
"People are opting for private nursing homes to get their patients admitted due to this strike," said a hospital source.
A patient said: "We are made to wait for hours for a doctor, even in times of emergency. How can doctors call strike at the expense of patient's life?"
"Available doctors are refusing to attend to patients citing several excuses like shortage of staff. However, the same doctors are attending to the patients without any excuse at private clinics," said a relative of another patient.
Meanwhile, hospital authorities said they have taken steps so that emergency services are not disrupted.
"We have formed a core committee to monitor health services and also hold talks with junior doctors to withdraw their strike," said VIMSAR dean Prof. Braja Mishra.
The Junior Doctors' Association (JDA) are on a strike demanding removal of VIMSAR director and fulfilling a 10-point charter of demands.

This new song from Wiwek 'House of Dreams' is great.
The song starts out slow but then the shift in tempo pulls you in and really gets you invested in the song.
Born in IJsselstein, a little town in the countryside of The Netherlands to parents of East Indian descent, Wiwek grew up listening to Indian Folk music at home whilst being surrounded by Western Pop.
Inspired by hearing Tiësto spin on Dutch radio, he made his first beats on Music 2000 for the Playstation One and was soon making beats for local rappers whilst Dutch House music continued to boom. Retreating into his bedroom studio to refine his skills, he learnt to channel all those disparate influences around him and create a distinctive style.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won their respective Illinois primary elections yesterday. And in other news:
Turns out, a strong social safety net leads to lower mortality, and because poor, mostly-white areas in the U.S. voted theirs down to minuscule levels, poor, white people are not doing well.
When you vote against your own party in a hot battle with the opposition governor, and the governor wins that battle, that's a career-limiting move. Illinois representative Ken Dunkin (D-Chicago) got spanked hard for doing that last night. Good.
A guy got charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly jamming cell phones on the CTA Red Line.
President Obama nominated an old white guy to the Supreme Court this morning, flummoxing Senate Republicans who want to stonewall the process.
For no reason anyone can determine, the city seems to be waging a war against valet parking companies. Businesses are annoyed.
The Daily WTF thought President Obama sounded like an idiot boss on the subject of cell-phone encryption. Even John Oliver thought so.
London is using pigeons with tiny backpacks to measure air pollution. No, really.
Marco Rubio's friends say he's a lazy, devious little twerp—on the record. He's also dropped out of the 2016 race, and will probably be out of politics for a couple elections.
Donald Trump's butler probably thought he was helping his boss by giving an interview to the Times, but...well...

I drove to a vendor site today because Google Maps told me it would take 18 minutes. (It took 21.) Then I drove around in expanding circles for almost 45 minutes trying to find a parking space, which I finally did almost a kilometer away.
I really hate finding out after the fact that the slower form of transportation would have been faster.

Oh, you crazy kids. This is a short list of what happened Saturday afternoon and evening in the area around Wrigley Field:
1:26PM — Dust off the ambulance. We have a female unconscious outside of Sluggers World Class Sports Bar, 3540 N Clark.
2:16PM — Callers at Addison and Halsted report seeing a man with a gun in his pocket. He is the first of many persons who will be described as wearing green clothing.
11:26PM — Recommendation: Don't drink on the public way. Especially in front of the police station. Citation issued. 850 W Addison.
1:50AM — Hey! Remember that car that the police were impounding at Addison and Sheffield? Yeah, well, two women got into it and drove away. They've been caught and arrested at Belmont and Sheffield.
For all that, this year arrests and ambulance calls were way down from years past. Come on, Millennials, you're slacking.

I really, really like the Original Pronunciation movement started by David and Ben Crystal. Through analysis and performance, they're trying to understand Shakespeare's plays as audiences 400 years ago would have understood them.
The Crystals are back in the news with the upcoming publication of the Oxford Dictionary of Original Shakespearean Pronunciation this June. The Atlantic has the story:
It's a book, a guide to Shakespeare's first folio, that Crystal has been working on for 12 years (on and off, because, as he notes, "it's deadly boring" to put a dictionary together). That work involved, essentially, linguistic sleuthing: Crystal started by looking at the words that might have originally rhymed, based on rhyme schemes and the words' current pronunciations, and then cross-referenced them against other appearances of those same words in Shakespeare's corpus.
The resulting dictionary is meant, he explains, as a resource for anyone who wants to understand Shakespeare's plays and poems not as amber-frozen relics of literary history, but as works that have evolved along with English itself. "I'm not suggesting for a moment that Original Pronunciation replaces other approaches to Shakespeare," Crystal says. "It simply is an extra tool in the kit that you use when you're putting on a play."
And OP doesn't simply add dimensions to Shakespeare's work (or, for that matter, to Marlowe's, and Jonson's, and Webster's). It can also help modern audiences simply to parse the plays, to tease out basic meanings that have been eroded in time. In Henry IV Part I, for example, Falstaff tells Hal, "Give you a reason on compulsion? If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon compulsion." The line would seem, Crystal points out, to make very little sense—unless you understand that "reason" was pronounced, in Shakespeare's English, as "raisin," and that "raisin" was a synonym for "blackberry."
I have, of course, pre-ordered the book.
Here are the Crystals giving a demonstration:

I'm leaving Harold Washington in a few minutes, now that I've caught up on some reading:
Clancy Martin attempted to explain the martyr-like appeal of Ted Cruz.
Deeply Trivial, who writes survey questions as part of her job, explained why she doesn't take surveys.
Via Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, the University of Arizona outlined some new data linking sunspots, shipwrecks, tree trunks, and hurricanes.
Suzy Khimm described the return of the pillory—via Internet, of course—as a tactic of some public prosecutors, most notably in the 2013 "Flush the Johns" operation in Nassau County, New York.
Cranky Flier got interested in a robot that cleans airplanes. It's pretty cool.
NPR media critic Adam Frank said I should watch SyFy's new series, "The Expanse."
Engineer John Hayes wondered if we'll ever see a space elevator of the sort depicted in Neal Stephenson's Seveneves or Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars.
Spanish writer Cristina Pop thought living in London was the worst three years of her life. (It sounds like her experiences don't exactly line up with mine, starting with her not speaking a word of English when she got there.)
I also watched a time-lapse video of the Chicago River turning green last year. If you want to see this odd Chicago tradition, go downtown tomorrow at 9.

I have a couple hours to kill in the Loop after having lunch with a friend. I don't really want caffeine or alcohol right now, which rules out the two classes of places to where I would most likely go. Then I remembered: there's a great big library here.
And yep, it looks like a library on the inside: shelves full of books, people reading, literary quotes on the walls, free WiFi. OK, that last bit isn't something I remember from the 1980s, but everything else is. They even have a shelf full of phone books.
OK, I've been here before, but still, I'm laughing at myself for not considering hanging out here before.
Reading list for this evening

In between four rehearsals and two performances this week (Monday through Sunday), I'm taking tonight off. So while I have a minute or two between helping new developers understand some old code, I'm jotting down this list of things that looked particularly appealing when they came up on RSS feeds:
Citylab explores cities that use numbers for both streets and avenues. They also wonder why America hates roundabouts.
New Republic reassures Republicans that it's OK to burn down their own party, and reassures David Brooks that he's not crazy.
Writing for The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg examines the Obama Doctrine.
Josh Marshall calls bullshit on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
OK, the new devs are testing something...and more on that later.
New El cars coming in 2019—built in Chicago
Thursday, 10 March 2016 11:25:49 CST David-Braverman Chicago, Travel (0)
The Chicago Transit Authority has concluded a deal worth up to $1.4 bn for 850 new rail cars:
The CTA's board Wednesday approved the largest single purchase of rapid transit cars in Chicago history, giving the contract to a Chinese rail manufacturer that has promised to build a final assembly plant on the city's Far South Side.
CTA officials said riders will see several major improvements when the prototype 7000-series cars arrive in late 2019. There will be full-width on-board LED screens capable of giving both of automated time and stop information, and real-time transit information in the event of delays or reroutes.
When the 7000-series cars are delivered in 2024, CTA will have the newest fleet of rapid transit cars in the nation, according to Bonds. He said the average age of a CTA 'L' car will be 13 years. By comparison, Boston has an average fleet age of 27 years, Washington, D.C. averages 25 years, New York averages 22 years and San Francisco averages 18 years.
The first prototypes should roll onto CTA tracks in October 2019.

Spy of the First Person (Hardcover)
By Sam Shepard
The final work from the Pulitzer Prize–winning writer, actor, and musician, drawn from his transformative last days
In searing, beautiful prose, Sam Shepard's extraordinary narrative leaps off the page with its immediacy and power. It tells in a brilliant braid of voices the story of an unnamed narrator who traces, before our rapt eyes, his memories of work, adventure, and travel as he undergoes medical tests and treatments for a condition that is rendering him more and more dependent on the loved ones who are caring for him. The narrator's memories and preoccupations often echo those of our current moment—for here are stories of immigration and community, inclusion and exclusion, suspicion and trust. But at the book's core, and his, is family—his relationships with those he loved, and with the natural world around him. Vivid, haunting, and deeply moving, Spy of the First Person takes us from the sculpted gardens of a renowned clinic in Arizona to the blue waters surrounding Alcatraz, from a New Mexico border town to a condemned building on New York City's Avenue C. It is an unflinching expression of the vulnerabilities that make us human—and an unbound celebration of family and life.
SAM SHEPARD was the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of more than fifty-five plays and three story collections. As an actor, he appeared in more than sixty films, and received an Oscar nomination in 1984 for The Right Stuff. He was a finalist for the W. H. Smith Literary Award for his story collection Great Dream of Heaven. In 2012 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Trinity College, Dublin. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, received the Gold Medal for Drama from the Academy, and was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame. He died in 2017.
"Sam Shepard's Spy of the First Person is a devastating work that is also full of life and wonder. From its heartbreaking dedication to him by his children to its last longing and truthful pages, it is an intimate masterwork."
—Michael Ondaatje, Booker Prize–winning author of The English Patient
"Moving. . . . Sly and revealing. . . . This novel's themes are echt Shepard: fathers and sons; shifting identities and competing versions of reality; a sense that there are watchers and there are watchees in this world of dusty gravitas. . . . You can tell you are moving into the realm of myth when you are holding a slender novel like this one that has large type and ample margins, to give the words room to reverberate. . . . There are echoes of Beckett in this novel's abstemious style and existential echoes."
—Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"Eloquent. . . . Its effect is one of atmosphere rather than narrative, an aching requiem sung in the shadow of extinction. . . . Shepard's gaunt lyricism conjures an album of bleached images in which the life of a man and the changing face of a country are cataloged with both love and bafflement. . . . A lived richness burnishes each page. . . . It is difficult not to be moved by these sparks of beauty and belonging. They light up all the brighter for how quickly they go dark."
—Dustin Illingworth, Los Angeles Times
"Beautiful . . . Cryptic, almost hallucinatory. . . . Remarkable. . . . There's a subtle curiosity at work, too, the curiosity of a writer to the very end. Unsettling, yet brave."
—Jocelyn McClurg, USA Today
"In Spy of the First Person, two narrative voices wind together in beguiling fashion. . . . Spy of the First Person returns to the uncanny experience evoked in all of Shepard's fiction of being both the observer and the observed. . . . Shepard has always been a spare and oblique writer, creating a sense of dreamy discomfort. . . . The sketches jump to northern California, the Alcatraz prison, a doctor's office in Arizona and even the squats of the Lower East Side in the 1970s. But as always, the itinerancy masks a profound feeling of imprisonment, as the scenes inevitably circle back to the old man on the porch, who has been rendered so immobile that he has to ask for help to scratch an itch on his face. Yet that appeal for help marks a small but significant change. Shepard's wanderers have usually been on unaccompanied journeys with no departure or destination, only an ever-repeating present instant. But Spy of the First Person ends with a scene of family solidarity. The old man watches himself being pushed in a wheelchair to a crowded Mexican restaurant. . . . 'The thing I remember most,' he thinks, 'is being more or less helpless and the strength of my sons.' At last he has no choice but to accept the company of others as he travels through the great wide American somewhere."
—Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
"Haunting. . . . A testament-like fever dream of autofiction."
—Elisabeth Vincentelli, Newsday
"As the narrator's body grows weaker, his days are filled with trips to the clinic with loved ones, and a cascade of memories—orchards, surfers, the mid-1970s. He describes being 'exhausted from the chaos of this era'—'Napalm. Cambodia. Nixon. Tet Offensive. Watergate. Secretariat. Muhammad Ali.' . . . He has rendered the thoughtful, interior months of his own last act into spare and profound prose."
—Jane Ciabattari, BBC
"Powerful. . . . Ultimately, Shepard drops all pretense, closing out this collection with two heartbreaking chapters detailing his final days, and bringing the reader up close to what Rilke called 'undiluted death.'"
—John Winters, WBUR
"Spy of the First Person captivates in its distillation of many of Shepard's enduring themes—the death of America's frontier, identity and loneliness. . . . Shepard illuminates loneliness beautifully in this slight but rich and moving final work. In the final lines the old man sees 'the moon getting bigger and brighter . . . two sons and their father, everyone trailing behind.' Shepard's valedictory message is one of hope."
—Alasdair Lees, The Independent (London)
"There's plainspoken reflection on the tempos of everyday life, in a signature style that lopes elegantly and rhythmically across the page. . . . Surreality emerges in Shepard's visions of his mundane West, as well as the familiar voice of a lonely, achingly acute observer. . . . The pages of a man's life, with all its glory and monotony, are sewn together here with steady pathos and flashes of brilliance, dark and light."
—Molly Boyle, Santa Fe New Mexican
"Spare but not slight, surreal yet stoic, an intriguing and moving glimpse into what falls away and what still matters at the end. . . . Shepard evokes the sense of mystery and the exploration of the myth of the American West that permeated so much of his work. . . . With Spy of the First Person, Shepard exited head up."
—Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"It is, radiantly, Shepard's voice. . . . Shepard lets his characters keep their secrets, even as they reveal timeless and universal truths. . . . [A] stunning and eloquent final soliloquy."
—Lew J. Whittington, New York Journal of Books
"Snares with virtuoso precision both nature's constant vibrancy and the stop-action of illness. Told in short takes pulsing with life and rueful wit. . . . Offers acid commentary on episodes in American history, and revels in the resonance of words. . . . A gorgeously courageous and sagacious coda to Shepard's innovative and soulful body of work."
—Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)
"Elegant, unpretentious, funny, and touching. . . . Slim but potent. . . . Gently escorts the reader out to the edge where life meets death."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A sharply observed, slender novel set in familiar Shepard territory: a dusty, windblown West of limitless horizons and limited means of escape. . . . Offers arresting portent. . . . It's exactly of a piece with True West and other early Shepard standards, and one can imagine Shepard himself playing the part of that old man in an understated, stoical film. . . . In the end, this is a story less of action than of mood, and that mood is overwhelmingly, achingly melancholic. The story is modest, the poetry superb. A most worthy valediction."

Q: Enumerating arithmetic progressions of primes Given an integer $n\ge3$ and a bound $x$, I want to find all $n$-tuples $p_1<\ldots<p_n$ of primes such that $p_2-p_1=p_3-p_2=\cdots=p_n-p_{n-1}$ with $p_n\le x$. Of course $d=p_2-p_1$ must be a multiple of all the primes up to $n$ ($n\#$ or $\exp\vartheta(n)$).
I don't want to store each of these tuples, just enumerate them (to search for ones with interesting properties). Is there an efficient algorithm for generating these? The ranges I'm interested in at the moment are $14 \le n \le 17$ and $10^{10} \le x \le 10^{14}$ so efficiency is important.
I could break the range into intervals small enough to fit them in memory, then sieve for primes, then for each prime $p$ I can check differences $d=n\#,\ 2n\#,\ \ldots,\ \left\lfloor\frac{p}{(n-1)n\#}\right\rfloor n\#$ to see if any of them work. The sieving takes around $O(p)$ with proper optimizations and the checking takes around $O(\log^3p)$ for M-R (following up later with proofs is cheap, since only a few will actually be n-tuples; in principle M-R can be done in $O(\log^{2+\varepsilon}p)$ with fast multiplication but that's not really relevant in this range) for a total of $O\left(\left\lfloor\frac{p}{(n-1)n\#}\right\rfloor p\log^2p\right)$ which is quasi-quadratic in $p$. (You lose a log since primes are thin.) For the numbers I'm in the neighborhood of 10^18 to 10^27 operations, which is a lot -- two years on a 6-core 3 GHz CPU at the lower end, to a billion times longer on the high end. But I feel like there has to be a cleverer way to sieve that would be much better than this brute force approach.

This Easy Lavender Rose Sachet is so fast to make and so pretty too! Just fill an organza favor bag with dried lavender buds and top with pretty dried rose buds. We added a few drops of lavender and rose essential oil, but that is optional. Tie the top with a big bow and a few silk roses. Lovely!
To see how we made it, follow along with our video. We've included the written instructions below so you can make your own.
1. Spoon the dried lavender buds into the bottom of the bag. Spoon the dried rose buds on top of the lavender. Don't fill the bag too full. That way you can see the rose buds clearly under the bow and they don't get hidden by the silk flowers.
2. Add a drop or two of lavender essential oil and rose essentail oil into the bag. This is optional just to add more scent. Don't worry about the dried flowers or organza bag getting oily. This is a very small amount and the dried flowers will absorb it.
4. Tie the wide ivory ribbon around the top of the favor bag and finish with a bow. (We folded the ribbon in back because it was so wide.) To tie a nice straight bow on the front of the sachet, use the bunny ears method of bow tying. Make a loop in each ribbon end, then tie them into a knot. This keeps the bow loops from twisting. Trim the ends of each ribbon. To make "V" shaped ends, fold the ribbon in half and cut from the fold to the outside edge in a diagonal.
5. Trim the stems off the silk flowers. If the flower comes apart, reassemble it attaching each layer to the one below with hot glue. Glue the flowers to the center of the bow. We used three small roses, but you could use one large one. Or a rhinestone brooch! Get creative!
Using party favor bags makes this Easy Lavender Rose Sachet so fast. So this is a great way to make a lot of little gifts for teachers, bridesmaids, party guests, or to have on hand for hostess gifts! These also make sweet stocking stuffers or a nice little gift for a neighbor. Who doesn't love a pretty scented flower sachet?
Let us know what handmade gifts you like to make or what else you'd like to see us make. We'd love to hear from you!


Votes from the last week of the spring legislative session.
To allow an individual under a personal protection order to get control of a cell phone number from the person against whom the protection order is required. Courts would be authorized to order the phone company to make it so.
To authorize damage awards for the target of a patent infringement claim that is made in bad faith. Actual damages plus exemplary damages of triple the actual loss would be authorized, plus costs. If the target demonstrates a "reasonable likelihood" that the claim is made in bad faith then the court could order the claim seeker to post a bond equal to the target's likely legal expenses.
To authorize payment by the state of civil damages to a person wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he or she did not commit. The damages would be $50,000 for each year of wrongful imprisonment, plus reasonable attorney fees.
To revise the law that requires hunters in the field to wear some high-visibility "hunters orange" apparel for safety purposes. The bill would also permit "hunters pink" as an alternative, and possibly other colors, but only if the state Natural Resources Commission determined a color is effective at enhancing safety.
To make it a crime to remove the collar from a dog owned by someone else that is being used for hunting, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $2,500 fine.
To repeal a controversial tax credit that auto insurance companies can collect based on required costs they incur for uninsured injuries and high risk drivers. Reportedly the companies are collecting $80 million annually for the credit, which they claim would be tacked on to insurance bills if it is repealed.
To prohibit a state department from promulgating rules more stringent than required by federal standards, unless specifically required by state statute unless specifically required by state statute or the department director determines there is a "clear and convincing need" to do so.
To authorize police with specialized training to require a driver suspected of driving drugged to take a saliva test, make a warrantless arrest if the test is positive, make it a civil infraction to refuse a saliva test, and order a commercial driver out of service for testing positive or refusing to take the test.
To require school officials to consider using "restorative justice" measures in certain disciplinary situations, including victim-offender conferences initiated by the victim and subject to various restrictions and procedural requirements. This is part of a package that scales back a "zero tolerance" regime mandating expulsion for certain behaviors.
To extend through 2026 the authority of local governments to grant "Obsolete Property Rehabilitation" property tax breaks to particular developers they select. Under current law this expires at the end of 2016.


We are pleased to announce the online publication of The Poems of Sidney A. Alexander edited from a manuscript notebook by Terry L. Meyers, Chancellor Professor of English at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, in Virginia USA. Professor Meyers said: 'I'm delighted to rescue from virtual oblivion a Victorian poet who, before he abandoned the muses for Christ, exhibited a nascent poetic talent'.
Sidney Alexander (1866-1948) ultimately earned gratitude for his accomplishments as a canon at St. Paul's in saving the cathedral from destruction. But as a young man he dreamed of glory as a poet. Alexander had distinguished himself at St. Paul's School and at Trinity College, Oxford--and won the 1887 Newdigate Prize. Alexander's fair copies of his poems, published and unpublished, came to light several years ago; this edition presents those with full scholarly apparatus. The poems will appeal especially to readers drawn to Victorian religious verse, but they also show a young poet in the 1880's developing a lyrical and narrative voice that reflects the times.


Some Called him a hero, others called him a heel, and creditors won't stop calling.
To criticize this week's podcast would be a tough job, but we're up to the task. It may be the story, or only the continuity that is wrong. It may be the direction or the acting. It might even have been the bomb shelter's rats chewing on the microphone wires. Ultimately, however, the blame must be put on SK Morton as he was the one who let these people into the building.
There's nothing particularly new in this week's episode except that it took more people to destroy it. In addition to appearances by Babette, Carissa Z, and Rebel, we welcomed back into the bomb shelter DHB (The former guest co-host who threatened to blow up the entire concept of a lousy podcast with his impeccable comedic timing, rapier wit, and suicide vest) and, all the way from the corporate office in Hayward, Shantwon triumphantly returns and then promptly trips over a dining rat.
The grievances raised by Louella Parsons about this week's show within a show are well-founded. SK's version of an old timey radio play - "StealthCat" - can sometimes be entertaining (In that only 6 of 10 polled preferred a "poke in the eye"); sometimes educational (But not in a good way); and sometimes inaudible (Which can be a nice break). In addition to some San Francisco history worked in to the dialogue about city parking meters, Shanghaiing, Fior d' Italia, and the Dog Patch listeners are also treated to absolutely nothing else.
So tune in next week for another pursuit in exhibitionism. Same lousy time. Same Lousy Podcast.

"The How Not to Lose Your Head to Henry VIII" (Part One)
Ed Jurist
Airdate: Sept. 15, 1971
Samantha and Darrin are vacationing in Europe. At the moment they are in London and on a sightseeing tour of the Tower of London. As the guide leads the tour through the corridors of the Tower, a portrait of a 16th century nobleman on horseback attracts Samantha's attention. Actually, the reason for the attraction is the fact that the figure of the nobleman is beckoning to Samantha! He tells Samantha that a hateful witch has placed a curse on him, dooming him to remain in the portrait for a thousand years. Since she is the first witch to happen by in over 400 years, he would like her to release him from the portrait. Samantha questions him a bit about what he had done to deserve such a stiff curse. It seems at the time of Henry VIII's reign, he had fallen in love with a witch and asked her to marry him, forgetting for the moment that he was already married! Samantha sympathizes with him and feels that he has served enough time. She zaps him out of the portrait. Suddenly, amid rumbles of thunder, Malvina the Terrible appears. She is quite angry at Samantha for reversing the curse she had put on the nobleman. To teach Samantha not to meddle, Malvina zaps Samantha back to Henry VIII's court. Samantha arrives, having no recollection of who she is or why she is there. She happens upon a group of players who are about to perform before the king. She joins the group and quickly catches the roving eye of Henry VIII. Meanwhile, Darrin has called Endora for help. She arrives and Darrin tells her what has happened. To rescue Samantha, Darrin must return to the 16th century and win Samantha with a kiss - this will be complicated by the fact that Samantha has no idea who Darrin is. As the story closes, we leave Samantha literally in Henry's clutches and Darrin tentatively approaching the castle.
Guest cast: Ronald Long as Henry VIII, Laurie Main as the guide, Ivor Barry as the chamberlain, Victor Rogers as the nobleman, John Mitchum as the jailor, Oil Stuart as the courtier, Arlene Martell as Malvina, Waiter Alzmann as the tourist, Mike Howden as the knight, Damian London as the second player, Gerald Peters as the first player, Henry Oliver as the friar.

in The Case for Global Film film blog, has illustrative stills and did have a YouTube extract of the film till it was removed under 'copyright claim by  Optimum Releasing . Are they mad? Surely it is good advertising for new generations to watch the film?
But it seems a good idea to put it separate for search purposes. So if you type 'editing' in the search box top right, you'll get this but 'editing Godard' (par example) you will give this. Though not ever post has the correct category and tag labels, so you might miss. Though from my experience, search in wordpress seems to search on body of text as well.


Today marks the start of Lent. Neither Ryan nor I are Catholic, but today is as good of a day as any to start some healthy habits!
I've heard that it takes 21 days to make something a habit, so I'm hoping by the end of these 40 days some of these healthy habits stick.
Are you doing anything for Lent?
I love the mindset that you and hubby have - to add something AND remove something. I usually focus on removing something, but you've got me thinking about what I could add as well.
