I am originally from Gary, Indiana. I attended Tennessee State in Nashville and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Accounting. I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Yoga Instructor. I worked for various big named companies over my tenure and end my corporate career as an Accounting Manager. I created Jaiona's Yoga Closet in 2015.
After collecting a diverse set of professional experiences in corporate, I recognized that the solution to stability in one's professional and personal life was mindfulness. Mindfulness is increasing our awareness of our mind and body and accepting ourselves as we are. Mindfulness can be taught through yoga and meditation. This realization prompted the creation of Jaiona's Yoga Closet, where my mission is to enhance the overall health and well-being of my clients through body awareness, breathing techniques, and yoga postures.
Through yoga and meditation, I became aligned with my purpose and aspire for my clients to achieve the same.
Did you have thousands of dollars saved before you launched your business? And if not how did you manage to stay afloat?
I've always been pretty good about saving. However, when I launched my business I still had a full-time job as an Accounting Manager so I funded my business with my paychecks. I would cut back in other areas so that I could bring my vision to fruition. With each purchase, I would spend time reflecting on it and then researching just to make sure I was getting the best value for each dollar spent. In 2017, I decided to expand my vision but focusing completely on my business so I did leave my corporate job. I'd been planning my exit for at least a year so I was able to save some money so far, I've been able to stay afloat. I had a couple clients from the previous year that have stuck with me and I've been gaining new ones as well.
What are some challenges you have experienced that you wish someone would have told you before starting your business?
I wish I had learned earlier the importance of networking. You can have a great service or product but if no one knows you exist who is going to buy it. In all honesty, prior to starting my business, I didn't see the value in networking so I stayed away from that arena for a long time. It is now something I'm learning to do. It's been a great experience and I blog about both my networking experiences and adventures into self-employment. Returnoferos.com is a blog I created five years ago to share my life, travel and spiritual experiences.
What services do you offer? And which one is beneficial for an entrepreneur because we know this journey is very spiritual?
I offer a variety of yoga and meditation classes and workshops in metro Atlanta. I am mainly based out of Atlanta but travel to Washington DC and Los Angeles for special events and workshops. Yoga and Meditation would be most beneficial to an entrepreneur. My style of teaching is meditative in nature so my classes tend to move at a slower pace with the intent of allowing students to quiet the mind. In the silence, we can hear a higher power and our inner voice more clearly. In the silence, we can begin changing the way we think and our life.
Meditation gives you a platform to create new opportunities and visualizes new possibilities.
I have a couple of retreats planned for 2017. I partnered with @Iamcoachkelli a Spiritual Life Coach and we will be hosting a Spiritual Retreat in September in the Atlanta area. It will be a weekend of spiritual solitude, relaxation, yoga, and meditation. Attendees will be able to renew, reflect and release as we bring in the fall equinox.
In October, I will be a Guest Host Instructor for a Hiking and Yoga Retreat in Spain. Guest can expect beautiful accommodation surrounded by nature, fresh vegetarian meals and practice a variety of yoga styles with different instructors immersed in the peace of nature.
In November, I will be hosting a networking event focused on "Walking in Your Purpose". The event will include a panel of entrepreneurs who have turned their passion into their purpose.
How can someone get in contact with you and book you for events and other services?
I can be reached by email jaionascloset@outlook.com or phone 404-563-9791. I can also be reached via my websites and/or social media.


Collecting, using or purchasing unnecessary things is not only financially irresponsible, it can also be detrimental to your thought process.
Smart shoppers will consider the benefits of an item before purchasing it, which can help avoid the ownership of products or items that are proven to be the opposite of beneficial to your intelligence.
There are also items we all use in our day to day lives that are actually doing more harm than we notice. Read on to discover a few everyday elements that are known for dumbing down our minds.
Okay, it's understandable that your favorite snack is delicious, but if it costs $20 and you're on a limited income, that could be seriously damaging to both your bank account and your judgement abilities.
If you're happy to spend a significant amount of your income on foods you could easily find for less, it's time to ask yourself why you think that's reasonable. You may come to the conclusion that your brain's ability to reason and rationalize your spending is essentially 'out of whack', giving you the opportunity to work on it and improve your decision making skills.
Any grocery store will likely sell a similar product for less, or you could even purchase the ingredients to re-create the meat at home on a budget. Look for a cheaper alternative and consider everything you could do with the leftover money.
A series of experiments that took place at Cardiff University, Wales, concluded that chewing gum regularly can impair your short term memory.
This may contradict previous studies that have suggested that chewing gum can essentially improve short-term memory, however the results are conclusive after multiple approaches.

Home / Metro / Man, 50, Razes Father's House, Sets Self Ablaze In Ondo
Man, 50, Razes Father's House, Sets Self Ablaze In Ondo
Editor Saturday, January 14, 2023 Metro
By Adeshina Precious
A fifty-years-old man, Ojo Ogundeji, allegedly committed suicide, yesterday, after setting himself ablaze in his father's house in Ondo West Local Council of the state.
The deceased, who lived in Lagos, was said to have returned to his hometown for the Yuletide.
The Guardian learnt that Ogundeji had deliberately locked himself in a room within his father's house, situated along the Odojomu axis of the town before setting it on fire.
According to eyewitnesses, he was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
The witness said the entire building was razed before the arrival of the men of the State Fire Service.
Speaking on the incident, Mrs. Sabaina Ogundeji, his step-mother, said: "This morning, Ojo set fire under the staircase of the house, and said nobody should put it out. But, with the help of people on the street, it was put out.
"Everybody was outside. Ojo went in and brought out his clothes and set them on fire. He later went inside, locked himself up in the room, and set himself on fire.
"It was his voice that drew our attention. He was shouting when he was burnt. People tried to force the door open and bring him out. He later died in the hospital."
Another eyewitness, who craved anonymity, said: "He told us that he would set the house on fire because people were making fun of him, 'because of his problem.'
"His remains have been deposited at the mortuary," he said.
Confirming the incident, the police at Enu-Owa Division in Ondo Town said that people from the neighbourhood reported the incident, after which police operatives went to the scene.
The police, therefore, urged the public to be more vigilant in their homes or offices to prevent their property from being destroyed by unnecessary fire outbreaks or deliberate arson.

Bootle Elim Pentecostal Church
Chatter Tots
Youth Cell
Asylum & Refugee
Chums Group
Elim Bootle Pentecostal Church was established in 1977 from a tent mission off Southport Road Bootle by Pastor Alex Tee.
The Church rented a hall at the Welsh Church on Stanley Road Bootle after the tent mission from 1977 to the early nineties, when they moved to another rented hall at St Matthews Church of England, which faces North Park on Stanley Road Bootle.
In 1997, the Church moved and purchased the old HSBC Bank building on the corner of Knowsley Road and Stanley Road. The very first meeting in the old bank was held on Saturday the 13th December 1997. By November 2004 the building had been fully paid for.
By 2009 Elim Bootle had outgrown the old bank for the Sunday morning meeting and began to rent Goddard Hall on Stanley Road Bootle, while looking for a bigger building.
In January 2014 the local Church of England team asked if Elim Bootle would like to use one of their many buildings in Bootle. An agreement was made that Elim Bootle would move into St Andrews Memorial Hall off Stanley Road Bootle. The first meeting was held on Saturday 28th June 2014.
In 2017 Elim Bootle purchased St Andrews Memorial Hall. The building on the corner of Knowsley Road and Stanley Road now host our Offices and Youth Work.
The Elim Bootle Pentecostal Church is a growing Church in the heart of Bootle and is represented by a wide cross section of people of different ages, different walks of life and many different nationalities.

Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony Close Fall Season With Monday Night Concert
Photo Submitted
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony will close the fall concert season with performances at the Fayetteville High School Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25. The concerts are presented by the department of music in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences as part of the Joy Pratt Markham Series. The public is invited and admission is free.
"In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy and the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the UA Wind Ensemble will present a program of all-American music," said Christopher Knighten, director of university bands.
Knighten, conducts the Wind Ensemble, with a selection conducted by Jamal Duncan, assistant director of bands. The program also features narration by guest artist Henry Runkles, instructor and piano director in the department of music.
W. Dale Warren, senior wind conductor and professor of music conducts the Wind Symphony, with selections conducted by Benjamin Chamberlain, associate director of bands and Joel Head, graduate conductor.
The Wind Symphony will perform Selections from the "Danserye" by Tielman Susato (ca. 1500–ca. 1561) and close their portion of the concert with "Sonoran Desert Holiday" by Ron Nelson.
"The 'Danserye' is a set of Renaissance instrumental dances based on popular tunes of the middle sixteenth century, composed or arranged by Susato, and published in 1551 as 'Het derde musyck boexken,'" said Warren. "'Sonoran Desert Holiday' is a quasi-progammmatic piece, the final in a series of eight overtures, which began in 1953 with 'Savannah River Holiday.' Although no specific program is intended, there are gestures and allusions to night, to sunrise, to Native American and Hispanic influences, to wide open southwestern expanses, and to the remarkable variety of holiday experiences available in this diverse and beautiful part of our country."
The Wind Ensemble's performance of Scott McAllister's Gone will be the Arkansas premier.
"Scott McAllister is a dynamic, young composer on the faculty at Baylor University," said Knighten. "Gone is meant to musically symbolize the loss of innocence in response to unforeseen challenges."
"The program will conclude with one of the most iconic and recognizable works of American music: Aaron Copland's, Lincoln Portrait," said Knighten. "The narration of this piece is taken directly from Lincoln's own speeches, including the Gettysburg Address, and will be performed by professor Henry Runkles."
The program is as follows:
Wind Symphony, Warren, conductor
Nitro by Frank Ticheli
Ballad for Band by Morton Gould, Head, conductor
Selections from the "Danserye" by Tielman Susato arr. by Patrick Dunnigan
Themes from "Green Bushes" by Percy A. Grainger, arr. Larry D. Daehn, Chamberlain conductor
Sonoran Desert Holiday by Ron Nelson

Wind Ensemble, Knighten, conductor
Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copland
Early Light by Carolyn Bremer
Elegy for a Young American by Ronald LoPresti, Duncan, conductor

Q: Join data from two tables with autoincrement id from two databases I would like to join data from tables from two databases. One is filed with predefined values (itemId, itemName) and other is filled by user (itemId, itemName, userId). Atributes itemId and itemName are the same, from first table we select all data, from second we select data by userId and combine these two results.
Joined data should be distinguish because ids are autoincrement and could be the same(doubled). We would like to fill drop down list with this data for example with datasource and dictionary (int is itemId, string is itemName)  we could only have valueFiled and valueText in dropDownList but ids of these two tables could be the same and lather we don`t know from wich table is item selected by id.
Is there any elegant way to joint this, maybe with temp tables that we always when user is logged in join these two tables in temp table etc...
Thank you for your answers

A: I think you're looking for a union. Use a literal value to identify the source.
select 'predefined' as source, itemid, itemname
  from predefined_values_table
union all
select 'user', itemid, itemname
  from user_supplied_values_table
  where userid = ?;

If you can accommodate only two columns, you might be able to use something like this instead. But you'll have to undo the string concatenation to get the id number.
select 'p:' || itemid, itemname
  from predefined_values_table
union all
select 'u:' || itemid, itemname
  from user_supplied_values_table
  where userid = ?;

So easy it's barely a recipe, but these smashed potatoes are delicious. I've gotten back into potatoes as a replacement for all the more filling things I couldn't eat last month (bread, pasta, grains, etc). Sweet potatoes are my favorite, but I love making smashed potatoes of those tiny ones that come in the mesh bag.
I use recipes from Martha and the Pioneer Woman to get an outline. First, boil your fingerling potatoes until tender, about 8 minutes. DON'T OVERCOOK THEM! If they're too mushy, they won't stay together when you smash them. Lay the potatoes out on parchment-lined tray, and smash with the bottom of a glass, a muddler, a potato masher, whatever you have on hand. Then drizzle with olive oil, add spices of your choosing, and bake until crispy.
I've made them up to the smashed step, but pre-baking, and frozen them. Now I heat up a few under the broiler like you would frozen french fries, straight from the freezer into the oven. I highly recommend!

Home Broadcast News FCC's Pai: Class C4 Classification Possible
FCC's Pai: Class C4 Classification Possible
NASHVILLE, TENN. — More than two years ago, the FCC began to consider the creation of a new class of FM stations – one that would broadcast at 12Kw from a reference antenna height of above average terrain of 100 metres.
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai wants to push the proposal to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which would allow the Commission to vote yes or no on the plan.
"Under this proposal, it's likely that hundreds of Class A FM stations could upgrade to Class C4 FM stations," Pai said in prepared remarks delivered at the 2016 Radio Show in Nashville on Thursday. "The feedback that the FCC received on this idea was generally positive. In particular, there was broad support for the idea from FM stations in rural areas and small towns. For example, the owner of KVPI-FM in Ville Platte, Louisiana said that proposal would mean his station's Cajun French and local music programming would reach a larger area of South Central Louisiana.
The proposal also has been endorsed by the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council (MMTC), which says that "expanding coverage areas to connect with a broader audience could help small and minority-owned stations gain access to capital and strengthen their foothold in the broadcasting arena."
Pai adds, "An NPRM would allow us to ask the right questions, explore the advantages and disadvantages of the proposal, and receive the views of all stakeholders. Then, we would be in a much better position to determine whether to implement this idea."
Pai also took time out to push the activation of FM chips in smartphones.
Last week, the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC), an FCC Advisory Committee, "recommended that the FCC encourage the ongoing voluntary efforts between device manufacturers and the wireless industry toward enabling FM radio in smartphones to the extent commercially viable for all parties."
CSRIC pointed out that "having access to terrestrial FM radio broadcasts, as opposed to streaming audio services, may enable smartphone users to receive broadcast-based EAS alerts and other vital information in emergency situations—particularly when the wireless network is down or overloaded."
Pai said, "As more and more Americans use activated FM chips in their smartphones, consumer demand for smartphones with activated FM chips should continue to increase. As an FCC Commissioner, I will continue to speak out about the public safety benefits of activating FM chips and ask the wireless industry to do the right thing."

Not only would this benefit the Class A broadcasters…more importantly this would benefit radio listeners across the country by giving more options.
Thanks to Commissioner Pai for pushing this initiative.

Summer is here, the Tour de France has officially started, and yesterday was Independence Day.
After spending the earlier part of the day glued to the Tour on television, we had an early BBQ at home and then headed toward Coolidge Park in downtown Chattanooga, via the Riverwalk – by bike.
The Riverwalk Route (map) is a leisurely bike (& pedestrian) path ride, winding from the TVA dam, near Amnicola Highway, into downtown Chattanooga/Ross's Landing. It passes through several parks and picnic areas, the Amnicola wetlands/swamp (which despite the sound, is really lovely), and along the Tennessee River into downtown Chattanooga. Most of the scenery is picturesque, with the exception of a couple of industrial areas you pass through near the downtown end of the trail. Currently, I believe the contiguous path is about 8 miles in length – from TVA dam to downtown (16 mi. roundtrip for out-and-back). It's a great opportunity for family riding, being almost entirely flat, smooth, and mostly free from street crossings.
Upon reaching the Bluff View Art District, you will need to travel one small stretch of low-traffic street to get to the continuation of the path near the Hunter Museum of Art. At the museum, you get to cross the slick little glass bridge (shown above); it offers a neat view of down below, as well as the Aquarium and the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge.
The guys, riding merry-go-round style in front of the Hunter Museum of Art.
A quick cross over the Walnut Street Bridge and you are in Coolidge Park – home to the weekend downtown Marketplace as well as the venue for concerts and other gatherings.
I had the trusty Xtracycle to haul a blanket, our camp seats, a cooler, and the rest of the necessary odds & ends. We picked a shady spot to park ourselves, and enjoyed a couple of hours relaxing and people-watching. Chattanooga Outdoors was supposed to be offering a Bike Valet Service for the July 4th gathering, but we must have missed it.
We hung out till near-dusk and decided to head back, skipping the fireworks, etc. We're a little unclear on the official Riverwalk policy, but I believe that sections of it are closed at sundown. There are a couple of lockable metal gates along the path, and we didn't want to take the chance of getting trapped-out of riding back. I need to investigate this matter further, because we've often considered riding down for an evening Lookouts game, but are not sure we'd have access to the path to get us back.
It's always encouraging to see the efforts being made by more and more cities to become more bike and pedestrian friendly. I'm happy to say I think we should add Chattanooga to the list. If you ever have a chance to use the Riverwalk to explore the city, or just to take a leisurely ride, you won't be disappointed.
Kinda nice to add a new meaning to Independence Day – independence from the car!
What a great way to spend the 4th. Sarah and I have talked about biking to Chattanooga at some point. We'd love to hear more about your route. In the meantime, we're headed South tomorrow. Wednesday, we'll be looking at houses in Cleveland. Wish us luck!

The National Roadshow in Caithness: A community well aware of its history
posted by Clyn Gallagher | July 01, 2017
There's a tremendous sense of community in Caithness – not the kind of dusty, vague "community" that only exists in speeches and faded newsprint, but a tangible, breathing, vibrant community that looks around, rolls up its sleeves and does what needs to be done.
First published in The National, 30 June 2017
I've written about the Caithness Broch Project before, with their plans for a life-size broch that taps into a unique part of Caithness' culture. You already know I'm a big fan of the Pulteney Centre, a self-sustaining social enterprise in Pulteneytown that started with 1.5 staff and now employs 55 people with a £750,000 annual turnover. This sprit has been recognised by our Arctic neighbours too, and it's heartening to see the Regina project's senior Arctic researchers and renowned experts making the trip to Thurso for advice on how to deal with depopulation and employment diversification.
People in Caithness get it done. This pragmatic spirit is epitomised in the tale of Badbea, a former clearance village from one of the darkest stains on Scotland's history. Following the mass eviction of families during the Highland Clearances, in which sheep were deemed more profitable than people, families were forced to scatter across the land. Of the families who settled in Badbea, the men caught the fish, the women gutted the fish, and the children were tethered to rocks and posts to stop them being blown off the cliffs. The spirit of the Clearances looms faint over the county, echoed in The Silver Darlings, the most famous work of Dunbeath's most famous son, Neil M Gunn, who led the Scottish Renaissance with Lewis Grassic Gibbon in the early to mid-20th century. Gunn fans could also visit the Clan Gunn Heritage Centre in Latheron, giving the clan's backstory from Norse origins to the present day. Caithness is a county aware of its history.


The dreadful example of Judas Iscariot has been burned into the hearts of believers over the years by the phrase at the beginning of the frequently-read passage on the Lord's Supper, 'the same night in which he was betrayed', 1 Cor. 11. 23. It is as though the Spirit of God wants to impress on our hearts, in this most Christ-centred feast, the horror of what one of His band of disciples had done to our Lord. It is not just to remind us of what Judas did, but also to warn us lest we should do the same. How was it that one of His 'disciples' could betray Him?
Judas was intimate with the Teacher. There were many who had been waiting and longing for the arrival of '[him] that should come' and had been 'looking for redemption'. Suddenly, here was one, Jesus of Nazareth, who claimed to be the Christ. Out of a larger group of disciples, we read that our Lord chose twelve 'to be with Him'. Plucked from obscurity, Judas joined a small band of men who were given privileges such as we have never had, and others in our Lord's day longed to have. After all, did not Legion plead to be with Him, as doubtless did many others?1 To Judas was given the huge privilege of spending time with the Word of God incarnate, the One who had come to reveal the Father. For just over three years, he had access to the Son of God Himself, not only in front of the crowds, but also in intimate moments, in a home at the close of the day, during the night hours, in the early morning. Judas sat with Him, ate with Him, talked to Him, listened to Him, touched Him, slept near Him, and watched Him. He saw our Lord when He was hungry, when He was thirsty, when He was wearied with His journey, when the 'contradiction of sinners against himself' was at its most hurtful. Judas had been given an opportunity second to none. He was also instructed in the truth. As a disciple, Judas followed the Lord for over three years, hearing all that He taught the public. Many only heard some of what our Lord had to say about God, as He revealed the Father to men, but Judas would have heard it all. He also heard Him teach truth that was hidden from the masses. He was there, after the crowds had gone, when the Lord explained to the disciples things that were hidden from others. He was there to hear Him say, 'Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand', Luke 8. 10. Here was a man who was instructed in the truth of God, by the Truth of God, like few others. He was also involved with the testimony. Our Lord's disciples were identified as His. When the twelve were sent out to preach and to heal, Judas went with them. Judas was among those who came back, thrilled and excited that they had cast out demons in the name of Jesus. To all intents and purposes, Judas was one of the band. Yet it is instructive to note that he never once called our Lord, 'Lord', as did the others. He addressed Him as 'Rabbi', Teacher, but never in any other way. He never seemed to have believed, or been touched by the Lord's teaching and example.
Why is it that Judas went on from such a privileged position to betray the Lord? What he heard was not mixed with faith. Our Lord said to His disciples, 'The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him', John 6. 63-64. Our Lord went on to say of Judas, 'Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?' v. 70, and in the Upper Room He referred to Judas when He said, 'Ye are clean, but not all', 13. 10. No matter how great the opportunity to hear the word of the Lord, where there is no faith, no conversion will be seen. Judas' position in eternity is all the more terrible if we remember how close He was to the Truth and how much he saw of His divine power, yet he believed not. It was our Lord Himself who said, of Bethsaida, Chorazin, and Capernaum, 'if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee', Matt. 11. 23-24. Exposure to the truth, and rejection of it, brings heavier judgement.
There was something else that seemed to drive the heart of Judas Iscariot, and that was his love of money. Many in the world today misquote scripture when they say that money is the root of all evil. It is not. It is the love of money which is the root.2 And Judas seemed to love money more than he loved his avowed Master. When a woman anointed the feet of the Lord, Judas did not see the appropriateness of the worship, nor was his heart moved by her appreciation of what the Lord had done for her. He saw only the monetary value of the broken vase and the outpoured ointment: 'Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag and bare what was put therein', John 12. 5-6. How could anyone, let alone one of His disciples, steal from the Son of God? Perhaps it was because Judas did not see Him as the Son of God. He saw an opportunity for betterment, a chance to be involved in an uprising against the Romans with a politically-motivated Messiah. But he was to be pierced through with sorrows, as the love of money would lead him on to betray the Son of God for a paltry sum.
And so it was that, into this unbelieving and covetous heart, Satan found little difficulty planting the seed of sedition. Having heard of the monetary reward the chief priests were offering for Jesus of Nazareth, Judas was moved to betray Him. Then, such was the alacrity with which Judas embraced the thought and set out to the deed, Satan found no difficulty in entering into Judas' heart, 13. 2, 27. Despite the grace our Lord showed Judas in the Upper Room, and despite the warnings our Lord gave him, Judas went out into the literal darkness of the night, and the spiritual darkness of his betrayal, to wend his way to the door of the high priest's palace. From there he would lead a band of men armed with lanterns, torches and weapons, ironically as though they were seeking a thief. Once in the garden, he would not only identify his 'Master', but he would do so in such an inappropriate way as to draw forth the exclamation from our Lord, 'Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?' Luke 22. 48. Our Lord had been betrayed by 'his own familiar friend', one who had supped with Him. That night, in a garden, a man stooped to the lowest depths mankind has ever gone. Yet in that same garden, a man, even the Son of God, showed the highest love a man has ever showed when He went out to meet His betrayer, in obedience to His Father and love for His own.
It is our Lord Himself who calls Judas 'the son of perdition', John 17. 12. Whether this means he has gone to perdition, or was characterized by perdition is not clear.3 Peter says of Judas, 'He was numbered with us and had obtained part of this ministry', but then goes on to say, from which he 'by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place', Acts 1. 17, 25. Before he committed suicide, Judas showed some remorse in that he recognized he had betrayed innocent blood, but he did not show true repentance. Unlike Peter, who wept bitterly when he denied his Lord and was forgiven and restored, there is no indication that Judas ever did so.
What a tragedy, that one so very close to the Lord should yet have been so very far! But he surely is an example and warning to us all. How many of us have had the immense privilege of being instructed in the truth, intimate, in the proper sense of the word, with the teachers of the truth, and involved in the testimony of the Lord and His people? We have had opportunities second to none, ourselves, while many in our generation never hear the name of Christ used in any way other than with disrespect. Yet is what we hear mixed with faith, or is it choked by the love of money – the love of anything – more than a love for God and His Son? Surely, whenever we hear those words, 'the night in which he was betrayed' our hearts should remember the perfidy of Judas, and many others like him since, and we should steel our hearts to ensure that we, ourselves, do not rise from the table at the breaking of bread, having avowed a love and devotion to our Lord, and then go out and betray Him or His own during the week.
3. The word 'perdition' in the scriptures usually refers to the final state of spiritual ruin and punishment from which believers are 'saved'. The expression 'son of perdition' is also used of the Antichrist, 2 Thess. 2. 3, who is 'the man of sin'. It probably means both Judas and the Antichrist are irrevocably given over to perdition.

Q: What method is used to make the open button in FileDialog work? JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();
JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
add(menubar,BorderLayout.NORTH);
menubar.add(file);
JMenuItem Open = new JMenuItem("OPEN...     Ctrl+O");
file.add(Open);
Open.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        Frame f = new Frame();
        FileDialog openf = new FileDialog(f, "Open");
        openf.setVisible(true);
    }
});

Well, I tried to use a lot many examples on the internet which makes the open button work as you can see i have already made the design but i need help in how to open a .txt file on clicking the open button in the filedialog. how am i supposed to do that?? i would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with few lines of code that actually works as i am sick of searching error generating codes from the internet.

A: The documentation states:

The FileDialog class displays a dialog window from which the user can
  select a file.
Since it is a modal dialog, when the application calls its show method
  to display the dialog, it blocks the rest of the application until the
  user has chosen a file.

Therefore, instead of calling .setVisible(true) you can call .show() on the dialog, and then you can use getFile() to get the file that was chosen, or getFiles() if you are using multipleMode.
To read the file you can use:
public static String readFile(String path, Charset encoding) throws IOException {
  byte[] encoded = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path));
  return encoding.decode(ByteBuffer.wrap(encoded)).toString();
}

yourComponent.setText(readFile(openf.getFile(), Charset.defaultCharset()));

Nancy Drew: The Smart Woman's Role Model
Hillary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor and others share love of the detective series.
ByCLAIRE SHIPMAN and SUSAN RUCCI
July 9, 2009 — -- Modern female role models might include Hannah Montana or Beyonce, but there was a time when pre-teen girls would pick up a Nancy Drew book and be transported to a world where a brave, smart young woman fought villains and solved mysteries.
Nancy Drew became a role model for some very accomplished women, including Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, whose hearings begin next week.
Clever, gutsy and decidedly independent, the legendary girl detective has been around for quite a while. Nancy Drew actually sprang to life in 1930, just 10 years after women got the right to vote. Some say she was America's first feminist.
Nancy Drew made brains seem well worth having. She was all about smarts appeal, rather than sex appeal.
"She really used her mind. She had deductive skills and reasoning and logic -- she was a very logical person," said Jennifer Fisher, the author of "Clues for Real Life: The Classic Wit and Wisdom of Nancy Drew." "She also had a lot of determination -- no matter how many things got in her way, no matter how any obstacles, no matter how many villains [tried] to get her off the case, she had this great determination to succeed, no matter the odds."
The books, written by numerous authors under the pen name Carolyn Keene, targeted girls between the ages of 8 and 12 and were hugely popular through the 1930s, '40s and '50s.
"Nancy hailed from ... a Midwestern town; no specific state was ever mentioned," Fisher said. "[Drew] was about 16 when the books first debuted. Later, she aged to age 18 in the 1950s."
Nancy Drew's can-do approach to solving mysteries within the pages and on the silver screen inspired generations of women.
It's notable just how many fans she has in high places. They include former first lady Laura Bush, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Sotomayor, whose brother Juan Sotomayor recalled the fictional heroine's influence on his big sister's life in an interview with ABC News.
Nancy Drew: 'Intrepid Young Woman'
Calling his sister "a habitual reader," Juan Sotomayor said reading the books were "one of her favorite pastimes."
The character appealed to his sister, he said, because of her industry and the fact that she was always persistent, a skill Sotomayor clearly made her own.
It comes as no surprise, really, that the two other women on the top bench -- Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsberg -- also were fans. Nancy Drew was fearless, Ginsberg once explained.
"She was very bold, you know, going out at night in the woods, searching in secret attic rooms and musty passageways, chasing after facts at night," Fisher said. "She did all kinds of bold things that most of us would never dream of doing."
The underlying message that women could go out and achieve greatness on their own resonated across social, racial and generational lines, even in the "Good Morning America" family.
"I discovered that all around me, among my friends, are Nancy Drew fans," "Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer said in 2007. "Back in the '50s, back in the '60s, in the world of Donna Reed and then Barbie dolls, there was an intrepid young woman who inspired women like this."
"Nancy was the first person that wasn't a princess or looking for her man," said "GMA" contributor Lee Woodruff. "She had stuff to do."
"I was always impressed with her bravery, because I was not a brave kid ... and I used to marvel that she could go in the dark with a flashlight to the unknown," said O magazine editor at large Gayle King. "I'm still not very brave."
"Nancy Drew had a job," said actress Ellen Barkin. "She was the first woman I was aware of that, that she wasn't paid for it, but she was a woman with a purpose."
Nancy Drew's 80th Anniversary
The series continued in hardcover until 1979, and Nancy Drew experts say the most popular books in the series are "The Secrets of the Old Clock," "The Hidden Staircase" and "The Secret in the Old Attic."
"When you read them, they sort of take you back to that time when kids weren't so much about society and peer pressure and so much more of what's going on today," Fisher said.
The annual "Nancy Drew sleuth convention" will be held this fall in Las Vegas, and next year, fans will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the series.
Still, the modern movie version of Nancy Drew didn't really catch on, and today's role models, by comparison, are different -- to say the least.
"I think the great thing about Nancy was that whole sense of fighting for justice and helping others and righting wrongs," Fisher said. "I think that sort of strikes a chord with a lot of us."
So, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears -- listen up. Consider taking at least a page out of one of Nancy Drew's books. Think about making smarts look as good as sass.
After all, you never know what young girl watching you might have the potential to grow up to be the next secretary of state, Supreme Court justice, or even president -- with a little inspiration.

Russell Athletic Bowl Preview
Posted on December 29, 2015 by just1mike
The Russell Athletic bowl is a matchup between North Carolina, who came out of nowhere and had a surprising year vs Baylor, a team who had national title dreams this season. Baylor's season has been riddled with injury at the quarterback position. Starter Seth Russell broke his neck against Iowa State, and second string QB Jarrett Stidham's season came to an end with an ankle injury. That gives sophomore Chris Johnson the starting role in this exciting bowl matchup. On Baylor's official roster, Johnson is labeled as a WR/QB, but he looked very impressive in the Bears win vs Oklahoma State. One of the bright spots this year for Baylor has been the play of star WR Corey Coleman, but Coleman is out for the Russell Athletic Bowl.
On the other hand, North Carolina has had something close to a dream season. Senior quarterback, Marquise Williams has been incredible. I truly believe he did not get enough Heisman trophy talk. Williams has shredded every defense he faced, including Clemson. Tailback Elijah Hood has also been sensational. Hood has added a physical element to this high-powered offense. Defensive Coordinator Gene Chizik has been the best assistant coach hire of the year. Chizik took a historically bad defense a year ago, and made them into a physical tough defense. Although the UNC's defense has drastically improved, this will still be an offensive shootout. Baylor is known for their up-tempo offense and will score a lot, but I do not think Chris Johnson with out his biggest weapon will be able to keep up with Marquise Williams in his last game wearing Carolina Blue.
Prediction: North Carolina 54, Baylor 40

The range of the genus Acacia (sensu stricto).
Acacia ( or ), known commonly as acacia, thorntree, whistling thorn, or wattle, is a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the subfamily Mimosoideae of the family Fabaceae, described by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1773 based on the African species Acacia nilotica. Many non-Australian species tend to be thorny, whereas the majority of Australian acacias are not. All species are pod-bearing, with sap and leaves often bearing large amounts of tannins and condensed tannins that historically found use as pharmaceuticals and preservatives.
The genus Acacia previously contained roughly 1,300 species, about 960 of them native to Australia, with the remainder spread around the tropical to warm-temperate regions of both hemispheres, including Europe, Africa, southern Asia, and the Americas (see List of Acacia species). However, in 2005, the genus was divided into five separate genera under the tribe "Acacieae". The genus Acacia (sensu stricto) was retained for the majority of the Australian species and a few native to southeast Asia, Réunion, and Pacific Islands. Most of the species outside Australia, and a small number of Australian species, were reclassified into Vachellia and Senegalia. The two final genera, Acaciella and Mariosousa, each contains about a dozen species from the Americas (but see "Classification" below for ongoing debate concerning these name changes).

The generic name derives from ἀκακία (akakia), the name given by early Greek botanist-physician Pedanius Dioscorides (middle to late first century) to the medicinal tree A. nilotica in his book Materia Medica.[2] This name derives from the Ancient Greek word for its characteristic thorns, ἀκίς (akis; "thorn").[3] The species name nilotica was given by Linnaeus from this tree's best-known range along the Nile river. This became the type species of the genus.
The traditional circumscription of Acacia eventually contained approximately 1,300 species. However, evidence began to accumulate that the genus as described was not monophyletic. Queensland botanist Les Pedley proposed the subgenus Phyllodineae be renamed Racosperma and published the binomial names. This was taken up in New Zealand but generally not followed in Australia, where botanists declared more study was needed.
Eventually, consensus emerged that Acacia needed to be split as it was not monophyletic. This led to Australian botanists Bruce Maslin and Tony Orchard pushing for the retypification of the genus with an Australian species instead of the original African type species, an exception to traditional rules of priority that required ratification by the International Botanical Congress.[4] That decision has been controversial,[5] and debate continues, with some taxonomists (and many other biologists) deciding to continue to use the traditional Acacia sensu lato circumscription of the genus, at least for now.[4] Such use is contrary to decisions by two consecutive International Botanical Congresses.[6][7] When the genus is divided, the traditional acacias of Africa are now treated in the genera Vachellia and Senegalia, some of the American species are placed in Acaciella and Mariosousa, and the majority of species still treated in the genus Acacia are confined to Australia.[8]
In common parlance, the term "acacia" is occasionally applied to species of the genus Robinia, which also belongs in the pea family. Robinia pseudoacacia, an American species locally known as black locust, is sometimes called "false acacia" in cultivation in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe.
Geography of Australian acacias
Acacias in Australia probably evolved their fire resistance about 20 million years ago when fossilised charcoal deposits show a large increase, indicating that fire was a factor even then. With no major mountain ranges or rivers to prevent their spread, the wattles began to spread all over the continent as it dried and fires became more common. They began to form dry, open forests with species of the genera Casuarina, Eucalyptus and Callitris (cypress-pines).
The southernmost species in the genus are Acacia dealbata (silver wattle), Acacia longifolia (coast wattle or Sydney golden wattle), Acacia mearnsii (black wattle), and Acacia melanoxylon (blackwood), reaching 43°30' S in Tasmania, Australia.
Australian species are usually called wattles, while African and American species tend to be known as acacias.
Acacia fasciculifera seedling in the transitional stage between pinnate leaves and phyllodes
The leaves of acacias are compound pinnate in general. In some species, however, more especially in the Australian and Pacific islands species, the leaflets are suppressed, and the leaf-stalks (petioles) become vertically flattened in order to serve the purpose of leaves. These are known as "phyllodes". The vertical orientation of the phyllodes protects them from intense sunlight since with their edges towards the sky and earth they do not intercept light as fully as horizontally placed leaves. A few species (such as Acacia glaucoptera) lack leaves or phyllodes altogether but instead possess cladodes, modified leaf-like photosynthetic stems functioning as leaves.
The small flowers have five very small petals, almost hidden by the long stamens, and are arranged in dense, globular or cylindrical clusters; they are yellow or cream-colored in most species, whitish in some, or even purple (Acacia purpureopetala) or red (Acacia leprosa (Scarlet Blaze)). Acacia flowers can be distinguished from those of a large related genus, Albizia, by their stamens, which are not joined at the base. Also, unlike individual Mimosa flowers, those of Acacia have more than ten stamens.[9]
The plants often bear spines, especially those species growing in arid regions. These sometimes represent branches that have become short, hard, and pungent, though they sometimes represent leaf-stipules. Acacia armata is the kangaroo-thorn of Australia, and Vachellia erioloba (syn. Acacia eriolobata) is the camelthorn of Africa.
Acacia seeds can be difficult to germinate. Research has found that immersing the seeds in various temperatures (usually around 80 °C (176 °F)) and manual seed coat chipping can improve growth to around 80%.[10]
Vachellia collinsii stipules
Swollen stipules of Vachellia drepanolobium that serve as ant domatia. An entry hole can be seen at the base of one of the spines of the largest domatia. From the MHNT
In the Central American bullthorn acacias—Vachellia sphaerocephala (syn. Acacia sphaerocephala), Vachellia cornigera (syn. Acacia cornigera), and Vachellia collinsii (syn. Acacia collinsii)—some of the spiny stipules are large, swollen and hollow. These afford shelter for several species of Pseudomyrmex ants, which feed on extra-floral nectaries on the leaf-stalk and small lipid-rich food-bodies at the tips of the leaflets called Beltian bodies. In return, the ants add protection to the plant against herbivores.[11] Some species of ants will also remove competing plants around the acacia, cutting off the offending plants' leaves with their jaws and ultimately killing them. Other associated ant species appear to do nothing to benefit their hosts.
Similar mutualisms with ants occur on Acacia trees in Africa, such as the whistling thorn acacia. The acacias provide shelter for ants in similar swollen stipules and nectar in extrafloral nectaries for their symbiotic ants, such as Crematogaster mimosae. In turn, the ants protect the plant by attacking large mammalian herbivores and stem-boring beetles that damage the plant.[12]
The predominantly herbivorous spider Bagheera kiplingi, which is found in Central America and Mexico, feeds on nubs at the tips of the acacia leaves, known as Beltian bodies, which contain high concentrations of protein. These nubs are produced by the acacia as part of a symbiotic relationship with certain species of ant, which also eat them.[13]
In Australia, Acacia species are sometimes used as food plants by the larvae of hepialid moths of the genus Aenetus including A. ligniveren. These burrow horizontally into the trunk then vertically down. Other Lepidoptera larvae which have been recorded feeding on Acacia include brown-tail, Endoclita malabaricus and turnip moth. The leaf-mining larvae of some bucculatricid moths also feed on Acacia; Bucculatrix agilis feeds exclusively on Vachellia horrida (syn. Acacia horrida) and Bucculatrix flexuosa feeds exclusively on Vachellia nilotica (syn. Acacia nilotica).
Acacias contain a number of [14]
Use as human food
Acacia dealbata seeds
Acacia seeds are often used for food and a variety of other products.
In Burma, Laos, and Thailand, the feathery shoots of Acacia pennata (common name cha-om, ชะอม and su pout ywet in Burmese) are used in soups, curries, omelettes, and stir-fries.
Various species of acacia yield gum. True gum arabic is the product of Senegalia senegal, abundant in dry tropical West Africa from Senegal to northern Nigeria.
Vachellia nilotica (syn. Acacia arabica) is the gum arabic tree of India, but yields a gum inferior to the true gum arabic. Gum arabic is used in a wide variety of food products, including some soft drinks[15] and confections.
The ancient Egyptians used acacia gum in paints.[16]
Sap, from which gum can be made, oozing from an Acacia tree in Phoenix, Arizona
The gum of Acacia xanthophloea and Acacia karroo has a high sugar content and is sought out by the Lesser Bushbaby. Acacia karroo gum was once used for making confectionery and traded under the name "Cape Gum". It was also used medicinally to treat cattle suffering poisoning by Moraea species.[17]
Uses in folk medicine
Acacia species have possible uses in folk medicine. A 19th-century Ethiopian medical text describes a potion made from an Ethiopian species (known as grar) mixed with the root of the tacha, then boiled, as a cure for rabies.[18]
An astringent medicine high in tannins, called catechu or cutch, is procured from several species, but more especially from Senegalia catechu (syn. Acacia catechu), by boiling down the wood and evaporating the solution so as to get an extract.[19][20] The catechu extract from A. catechu figures in the history of chemistry in giving its name to the catechin, catechol, and catecholamine chemical families ultimately derived from it.
Ornamental uses
A few species are widely grown as ornamentals in gardens; the most popular perhaps is A. dealbata (silver wattle), with its attractive glaucous to silvery leaves and bright yellow flowers; it is erroneously known as "mimosa" in some areas where it is cultivated, through confusion with the related genus Mimosa.
Another ornamental acacia is the fever tree. Southern European florists use A. baileyana, A. dealbata, A. pycnantha and A. retinodes as cut flowers and the common name there for them is mimosa.[21]
Ornamental species of acacias are also used by homeowners and landscape architects for home security. The sharp thorns of some species are a deterrent to trespassing, and may prevent break-ins if planted under windows and near drainpipes. The aesthetic characteristics of acacia plants, in conjunction with their home security qualities, makes them a reasonable alternative to constructed fences and walls.
Acacia farnesiana
Vachellia farnesiana (syn. Acacia farnesiana) is used in the perfume industry due to its strong fragrance. The use of acacia as a fragrance dates back centuries.
Symbolism and ritual
Egyptian goddess Isis
Acacia also supposed to have been used for Zulu warriors' iziQu (or isiKu) beads, which passed on through Sir Robert Baden-Powell to the Boy Scout movement's Wood Badge training award.
Egyptian mythology has associated the acacia tree with characteristics of the tree of life, such as in the Myth of Osiris and Isis.
Several parts (mainly bark, root, and resin) of Acacia species are used to make incense for rituals. Acacia is used in incense mainly in India, Nepal, and China including in its Tibet region. Smoke from acacia bark is thought to keep demons and ghosts away and to put the gods in a good mood. Roots and resin from acacia are combined with rhododendron, acorus, cytisus, salvia, and some other components of incense. Both people and elephants like an alcoholic beverage made from acacia fruit.[22] According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, the acacia tree may be the "burning bush" (Exodus 3:2) which Moses encountered in the desert.[23] Also, when God gave Moses the instructions for building the Tabernacle, he said to "make an ark" and "a table of acacia wood" (Exodus 25:10 & 23, Revised Standard Version). Also, in the Christian tradition, Christ's crown of thorns is thought to have been woven from acacia.[24]
In Russia, Italy, and other countries, it is customary to present women with yellow mimosas (among other flowers) on International Women's Day (March 8). These "mimosas" are actually from A. dealbata (silver wattle).
The bark of various Australian species, known as wattles, is very rich in tannin and forms an important article of export; important species include A. pycnantha (golden wattle), A. decurrens (tan wattle), A. dealbata (silver wattle) and A. mearnsii (black wattle).
Black wattle is grown in plantations in South Africa and South America. Most Australian Acacia species introduced to South Africa have become an enormous problem, due to their naturally aggressive propagation. The pods of A. nilotica (under the name of neb-neb), and of other African species, are also rich in tannin and used by tanners. In Yemen, the principal tannin substance was derived from the leaves of the salam-tree (Acacia etbaica), a tree known locally by the name qaraẓ (garadh). A bath solution of the crushed leaves of this tree, into which raw leather had been inserted for prolonged soaking, would take only 15 days for curing. The water and leaves, however, required changing after seven or eight days, and the leather needed to be turned over daily.
Acacia koa wood
Some Acacia species are valuable as timber, such as A. melanoxylon (blackwood) from Australia, which attains a great size; its wood is used for furniture, and takes a high polish; and A. omalophylla (myall wood, also Australian), which yields a fragrant timber used for ornaments. A. seyal is thought to be the shittah-tree of the Bible, which supplied shittim-wood. According to the Book of Exodus, this was used in the construction of the Ark of the Covenant. A. koa from the Hawaiian Islands and A. heterophylla from Réunion are both excellent timber trees. Depending on abundance and regional culture, some Acacia species (e.g. A. fumosa) are traditionally used locally as firewoods.[25] It is also used to make homes for different animals.
A. heterophylla wood
Pulpwood
In Indonesia (mainly in Sumatra) and in Malaysia (mainly in Sabah), plantations of A. mangium are being established to supply pulpwood to the paper industry.
Acacia wood pulp gives high opacity and below average bulk paper. This is suitable in lightweight offset papers used for Bibles and dictionaries. It is also used in paper tissue where it improves softness.
Land reclamation
Acacias can be planted for erosion control, especially after mining or construction damage.[26]
Ecological invasion
For the same reasons it is favored as an erosion-control plant, with its easy spreading and resilience, some varieties of acacia are potentially invasive species. One of the most globally significant invasive acacias is black wattle A. mearnsii, which is taking over grasslands and abandoned agricultural areas worldwide, especially in moderate coastal and island regions where mild climate promotes its spread. Australian/New Zealand Weed Risk Assessment gives it a "high risk, score of 15" rating and it is considered one of the world's 100 most invasive species.[27] Extensive ecological studies should be performed before further introduction of acacia varieties, as this fast-growing genus, once introduced, spreads quickly and is extremely difficult to eradicate.
Cyanogenic glycosides
Nineteen different species of Acacia in the Americas contain cyanogenic glycosides, which, if exposed to an enzyme which specifically splits glycosides, can release hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the "leaves".[28] This sometimes results in the poisoning death of livestock.
If fresh plant material spontaneously produces 200 ppm or more HCN, then it is potentially toxic. This corresponds to about 7.5 μmol HCN per gram of fresh plant material. It turns out that, if acacia "leaves" lack the specific glycoside-splitting enzyme, then they may be less toxic than otherwise, even those containing significant quantities of cyanic glycosides.[29]
Some Acacia species containing cyanogens include Acacia erioloba, A. cunninghamii, A. obtusifolia, A. sieberiana, and A. sieberiana var. woodii[30]
Famous acacia
The Arbre du Ténéré in Niger was the most isolated tree in the world, about 400 km (249 mi) from any other tree. The tree was knocked down by a truck driver in 1973.[31]
In Nairobi, Kenya, the Thorn Tree Café is named after a Naivasha thorn tree (Acacia xanthophloea)[32] in its centre. Travelers used to pin notes to others to the thorns of the tree. The current tree is the third of the same variety.

Al di là del muro è il quarto album ufficiale pubblicato dal cantautore  Luca Barbarossa pubblicato nel 1989.

Il disco
Dopo il successo dell'LP Non tutti gli uomini, Barbarossa realizza con lo stesso staff il disco successivo, pubblicato nel 1989 e registrato nello Studio libero di Roma di proprietà del produttore Antonio Coggio, che è anche il tecnico del suono dell'album: Al di là del muro, che è il titolo della canzone che viene pubblicata anche su 45 giri insieme a Sarò qualcuno.

Come nei 33 giri precedenti, Barbarossa alterna canzoni con testi impegnati come Mandela, dedicata a Nelson Mandela che, in quel periodo si trovava ancora in prigione, o Se tu sei come me, a riflessioni sullo scorrere del tempo come Ingannando il tempo o sulla solitudine come Solo come te, e ad una canzone d'amore tra le più intense scritte dal cantautore romano, Fine di un amore (che verrà anche cantata nello stesso anno anche da Paola Turci).

Anche musicalmente il disco è vario, e passa da brani lenti come la già citata Fine di un amore ad altri decisamente più rock come la title track o Senza panico, arricchita dalla chitarra elettrica suonata da Eros Ramazzotti, in cui Barbarossa immagina la fine del mondo.

Tutte le canzoni sono scritte da Luca Barbarossa, e sono una coedizione tra le edizioni musicali CBS Songs e le edizioni musicali Calycanthus; gli arrangiamenti sono curati da Pinuccio Pirazzoli e la produzione è di Antonio Coggio.

La foto di copertina è invece opera di Maria Pia Giarré, all'epoca legata al cantautore; lo stesso scatto viene usato anche per la copertina del 45 giri tratto dall'album, Al di là del muro/Sarò qualcuno.

Best and worst football shirts of all time revealed
New musical tells tale of hero Hotspur
A quirky new musical telling the story of legendary knight Harry Hotspur is being performed by the renowned Northumberland Theatre Company (NTC) this autumn.
Northumberland Gazette latest
Rehearsals are set to start for Heartspur, written by Bob Shannon and featuring memorable songs from the girl bands of the 1960s.
This eagerly-anticipated play chronicles the life of Hotspur and the 1403 Battle of Shrewsbury, where he was slain while fighting against King Henry IV of England.
In a quirky take on the Hotspur tale, NTC's show is set in gangland Newcastle in 1963.
Hotspur is one of Shakespeare's best-known characters, having appeared in Henry IV, Part 1, and Heartspur will use a mix of the Bard's script and more modern language.
Lewis Matthews, who is assistant director and also performing in it, said: "It's really exciting. I think this is going to be brilliant and it really does have a completely new and interesting feel and is something different for the company.
"It's a jukebox tragedy and I'd describe it as being Henry IV, Part 1 meets Get Carter meets Six-Five Special.
"Using the very best of Shakespeare's words alongside modern dialogue and truly memorable songs from the girl bands of the Sixties, this new play from North East writer Bob Shannon has a terrific plot, fiery characters, marvellous music and plenty of humour and drama, and it is suitable for everyone over 13."
Heartspur opens in Scotland on September 6, and runs until October 21, when it ends in Leicestershire.
During this time, it will be performed in Amble's Dovecote Centre – NTC's HQ – as well as Etal, Lucker, Longhorsley, Chatton, Longhoughton, Alnwick, Eglingham, Otterburn, Bamburgh and Alnmouth,

Covid-19 Economy Impact
Impact of COVID-19 on the retail sector: Egypt, Bahrain & KSA
Speaking to Cityscape Intelligence, Savills puts the spotlight on Egypt, Bahrain, and KSA. While the timeline to contain COVID-19 remains unclear, this pandemic has significantly influenced the retail sector and will have a long-term impact on consumer behaviour.
Teneshia Naidoo | May 10, 2020
Footfall and sales have dropped due to store and mall closures in addition to the movement restrictions implemented by many countries across the Middle East. The Holy Month of Ramadan is traditionally a high demand season for retail, but the market this year will be notably compressed, and it may take until after Ramadan for consumer confidence to return.
CONFIDENCE IN THE EGYPT MARKET REMAINS STRONG
According to the IMF, Egypt will be the only country in the region to maintain growth as the world tips into recession. The organization predicted that Egypt will be the only MENA country to see its economy expand, anticipating 2% GDP growth this year before a slight acceleration to 2.8% in 2021. This came in the lender's latest World Economic Outlook which forecasts the global economy to contract by 3% this year — the worst global recession since the Great Depression.
In Egypt, as part of the measures put in place to stem the spread of the virus, malls and shops have been allowed to open daily until 5 pm during the Holy Month of Ramadan while the nationwide curfew starts at 9 pm instead of the previous 8 pm and runs until 6 am.
James Bailey, Client Services Director at Savills Egypt said: "With this decision being announced, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of inquiries we receive as tenants have moved from 'let's wait and see' to 'please send me the lease so that we can sign.' For example, the number of contractors on-site at Arkan in West Cairo who are fitting out units has increased by 60% in the last week."
"We have also seen different terms based on real estate asset classes. Landlords are treating each situation on a 'case by case' basis and still assessing options to tenants including potential rental discounts/holidays and rent deferrals, while other landlords are still offering monthly payment plans which was already offered before COVID-19 took hold," Bailey explains.
RELIEF REQUESTS SURGE IN BAHRAIN
The retail sector in Bahrain has experienced the biggest impact so far at a time when retailers were already struggling, and rental rates have experienced ongoing downward pressure. Harry Goodson-Wickes, Savills' head of Northern Gulf said: "In 2019, the rental rates and capital values across the real estate market had experienced a marginal decline. Prior to the outbreak, the outlook for 2020 was expected to remain largely similar with minor fluctuations. Across the assets managed by Savills in Bahrain, we have received the largest number of rent relief requests from retail tenants. Across the market, relief requests have varied from rent reductions (both temporary and permanent) of up to 50%, to rent waivers up to 6 months, to relocation requests to smaller units and complete lease surrenders. Landlords are doing their best to balance these requests with meeting their own commitments as well as stakeholders. Where possible we encourage landlords and tenants to work together and support each other through these difficult times"
E-COMMERCE LEADS RETAIL IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA
During these unprecedented times, shopping centre landlords and retailers are working closely to minimize losses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Shopping mall owners and operators are offering generous incentives to support their tenants by granting 1-3 month rent holidays, while some landlords are waiting for a likely end to the crisis before negotiating. Shopping centre landlords offering incentives in Saudi Arabia include Sahara Mall, Granada Mall in Riyadh and Al Rashid Mall in Alkhobar to name a few.
Mutasem Alsheikh, Associate Director – Retail at Savills KSA said: "Our retail leasing team continues to progress discussions with major retailers in key developments, despite the slowdown in activity. On the other hand, some deals have been put on hold until the situation becomes clear."
Savills has also noticed some changes and new additions to the lease structures. "One of the trends we have started to see is that many retailers are asking for a COVID-19 clause and/or any other health crisis, to protect their best interests against unforeseen major lockdowns in the future," he added.
on April 29, Shopping Centres and retail stores were partially allowed to open in KSA with stringent health and safety measures, such as restrictions on number of visitors inside the store at the same time and no entry for children under the age of 15. While all entertainment and playing areas inside malls will continue to be closed.
In the short term, all operators are expected to heavily focus on sterilization and hygiene measures to support a healthy environment. Retailers will drive further awareness on health regulations and procedures to assure the community of higher levels of safety and sanitization and to ease concerns of visiting physical shop locations.
"Under the conditions of the lockdown, many consumers in Saudi Arabia have relied on e-commerce to purchase both essential and non-essential products, which has led to a huge surge in online sales of up to 300% to 400% for certain brands, compared to pre-pandemic figures," Alsheikh reveals.
"Retailers and shopping mall landlords should recognize that some consumers are likely to continue their newly developed e-commerce habits during and after the COVID-19 lockdown, which adds a new level of competition to the retail environment. With this trend on the rise, retailers need to tap into e-commerce through owned websites or through partnerships with e-commerce platforms, as people are expected to continue to make more online purchases after the pandemic is over."
