You've heard the buzz, self-care should be a regular part of your routine. Here's the deal, its true. When we take the time to care for our own needs and to do things that make us feel good, it creates a domino effect in our own life as well as those around us. So let's talk about some really simple ways you can treat yourself to some body lovin' moments.
How often do you think about your feet? I'd bet for most of you, its when you stub your toe! I got to thinking about this the other day when I saw a woman who's little tootsies where dry and didn't look so good. Her toe nails were painted, but in general, you could tell she was neglecting her self-care. Often, here in Arizona we are keen on wearing sandals most of the time, which does contribute to our feet feeling so dry. So how can you give your feet some love? The easiest and quickest way is to remember to cover your feet and toes with lotion or an oil after you get out of the shower. Remember to rub it on your toenails, cuticles, and on the back of your ankle. This not only feels amazing but it will help your feet feel softer and energized. I also recommend that you have a reflexology session or have your feet massaged at least every quarter, more if it's possible.
Baths are amazing! When was the last time you took a bath? I try to get in to the bath tub at least twice a month in the summer months and weekly in the winter months. And the frequency can depend on why I need a bath. When my muscles hurt from a tough workout or when I'm feeling a bit under the weather, a hot bath filled with 4 cups of epsom salt, a quarter cup of baking soda, and a few drops of lavender or frankincense works wonders. I also take a bath if I'm feeling stressed out or if I just want to sit and relax. And if you're feeling playful, you could add some bubbles! In my opinion, baths are an overlooked self-care tool that you could easily add to your routine.
Oh my, I love essential oils. They are amazing. I do want you to know that it's super important that you purchase oils that are high-quality. I don't recommend buying your oils at Walmart. If they are super cheap, you should know that means that they are not of good quality and they won't have the same impact as an oil that is of good quality. This is important because you want to have the full effect of the oils if you're going to take the time to use them. A few of the bigger companies I would recommend are doTERRA and Young Living. Another fantastic option is to use an aromatherapist locally who sell essential oils that they have carefully sourced and tested. A few that I use are Lola at Be Kind Botanicals and Katie at Essential Journeying. Both of these ladies are amazing and super knowledgable.
Here are a few ways you can easily integrate essential oils into your self-care routine.
Get yourself a diffuser and diffuse your favorite essential oils. This will fill the air with awesomeness.
Place one drop of an oil in the palm of your hand and rub both hands together. Cup your hands over your nose and take deep breaths. This is a relaxing and calming way to take in the essential oils. My favorites are lavender, eucalyptus, frankincense and a blend from doTERRA called Balance, depending upon my mood.
Add a drop of oil to your lotion when you're applying it to your feet (or all of your body) as I mentioned in the Love on Your Feet section.
I cannot stress this enough. Outside of the obvious that we need water to survive, the lack of water intake can dramatically impact how you feel. If you're feeling fatigued, have brain fog, and/or feel ick, chances are you need more water. What I have found is that when I'm feeling extremely tired in the middle of the day, especially if I am running errands, it's because I haven't had enough water. As soon as I guzzle down a few glasses of water, I'm feeling back to normal and energized. A few other recommendations I have is that if you're sick, drink lots of water. One practice I've been doing for years is envisioning the water running through my body washing away all those cooty cells. Believe it or not, this will also work if you are having a really bad headache or migraine. And if you consume a bit too much alcohol one evening, be sure to drink several glasses of water before you go to bed. You will be amazed at how better you're body will dispose of the alcohol and how much better you will feel in the morning.
Hopefully these few tips will inspire you to love on yourself more. You'll find when you take these small steps to care for your own body and mental wellbeing, life gets better and your overall outlook on life naturally improves.

There was an accident, he was in a wheelchair and blinded Marcelo Tinley with his voice in "Genios de la Argentina".
argentina May 18, 2019 argentina
(Video: "Argentina's Geniuses" – El Trece)
This time everyone who was moving was Josephina Delgado The young woman took her story to the studios at La Corte, where the El Trece program was broadcast.
From the age of 13 I was singing, acting, jazz, listening, classic and yes, life gave me a 360 degree turn. But at least I'm here, I'm alive and I can keep singing because I could lose my voice"the girl began.
Before consulting the driver, Josephine recalled the car accident that he had suffered three years ago in Uruguay, and it cost him almost a lifetime: "I had a feeling not to climb, but to one or the other thing I got into. I still had this bad feeling, that's the problem I had: I did not follow my intuition".
"I do not remember much, I remember what they said to me. I turned off the TV, wore a white dress and at the same time red because it was full of blood. And there I do not remember anything else, "he said.
Despite the pain to remember the story, he continued with the story: "I know that They all got us out of the car because he assumed he would burn or explode, and a girl was a CPR, but she was dead. So, one. And I was next because the ambulance never arrived. One of the girls arrived by car, there are parents who are kinesiologists, and I did CPR. I was revived".
According to his testimony, the last time he behaved was in 2015: "When I returned to the scene that was Endless LoveIt was amazing, I could not believe it. And after this I went back to sing with my singing teacher, but I'm never alive, so it's the first time".
Then, yes, that was the order of the music. The young woman intonation of the famous theme of Gustavo Cherati "Treat me gently," and with his voice he moved the whole jury and even Tinley himself.
"This phrase that always comes to you "after complaining about so many things" is the one that applies in this situationHis will and will are incredible. It's amazing that after everything she's living, she's sitting here, it's exciting, "the driver said to him as soon as he finished, while they all applauded.
"If you put happiness and perfection in the balance, you must always win happiness." Art is absolutely imperfect, so judging yourself as a singer would be to minimize things. You are here before us, giving us an example of how one can build a world to be happy, and music is a great wayAnd this physical difficulty is not at all noticeable because you have a sweet volume, a beautiful voice color. It does not matter if you're in a wheelchair, here's one voice, you're audio, you're an example, "he encouraged. Patricia Sosa,
"We share a teacher, but for me, you are a teacher. In short, we come to celebrate the people in life, and I think you will celebrate many people and you will do very well, above all. And as Mer (the coach who they say) says, "the voice is the mirror of the soul," and I saw your soul, thank you, "were the words on the edge of the tears. Guillermo Valdes,
"You are very brave, I was wondering what I would do at your place and it is very difficult. He said, "I can at least sing," and that makes you hugebecause it is the power to control your thoughts. Someone once told me "one is the story you want to say." I forgot, I left myself, I felt like a stove among friends. Thank you, we have a lot to learn and much to be grateful for, "he added. Sofia Morandi,
"I'm very glad to see a man who is an example of effort, work, then great misery, take the adventure, trying to get up and get everything you want, and you get it. You are an example of so many people who make so much less trouble. And you carry it with dignity, passion, effort, work, so you're a really great example, "he said Oscar Medieval,

Monuments bear witness to their creators and the times of their origin. Ruined monuments are also a testament, to the times of their destruction and those that destroyed them. They are our history teachers, from their existence we learn about different ages and societies of the past. Between 1945 and 1990, thousands of monuments were built throughout the former Yugoslavia to commemorate the sites where World War II battles had been fought. Many of them were truly valuable artistic pieces. Since 1990s, one half or about three thousand of these monuments in Croatia had been razed to the ground or devastated. This is a story of the masterpieces turned into waste, but also of a society which rejected its history and forsaken its valuable art.

Shtar power
The haredi hip hop ensemble create fresh beats and Sephardi melodies on its debut album.
By RACHEL MARDER

Ori Murray was starting to make a name for himself as a skilled rapper and DJ on Seattle's hip-hop and house music scene when an unexpected, free trip to Israel was plopped in his lap. The menorah in his mother's china cabinet had been the most Judaism the 21-year-old had been exposed to, but he took the chance to study at the Aish Hatorah seminary, which specializes in educating Jews raised with little tradition, and seven years later Murray is M'Ori, a haredi hip hop master.
Rap lyricist for Shtar, back in his early days at Aish, where he spent five years in intensive learning, Murray recalls considering giving up rapping altogether.
"I just really enjoy learning," says Murray, tall with glasses and a boyish grin, who always sports the black and white dress and velvet kippa. "I have an all or nothing type of attitude in life. When I became religious it was such an eye-opening experience for me... I got so involved in learning I decided it was better for me not to rap."
A wise rabbi stepped in, however, and encouraged him to follow his passion, telling him that denying who he is would be a "hilul Hashem" (desecration of God's name).
"He said Judaism is not there to put you in a box and make everybody alike and cut off who you are. Rapping is a part of who you are and how you express yourself on this planet, and that's exactly what Hakadosh Baruch Hu [the Holy One blessed be He] desires of us," says Murray, 28, who lives in Beit Shemesh with his wife and two kids.
Shtar, a Hebrew word meaning "contract," got a major boost signing with Shemspeed Records recently and last week re-released its debut album Infinity, a collection of funk-inspired prayers like "Adom Olam" and "Shir Hamaalot," original spiritual grooves and smooth, Sephardi choruses alongside eloquent raps.
Murray, songwriter/guitarist Brad Rubinstein, vocalist Dan Isaac, bass player Avi Sommers and drummer Tzvi Solomons are deep into recording the second album, and aim to release a single by Lag Baomer this spring.
The new album features more bass guitar and drums, giving a fuller rock sound, Murray says. And while Infinity reflects a more laid back approach by him and Rubinstein, he says the next album will showcase Shtar as more serious musicians.
"We are pushing the limits as much as we can," he says. "Hopefully, God willing, it's going to be another level of an album."
While Infinity has heavy Jewish overtones, Murray believes the second album explores deep, universal themes. Whether it's an Orthodox Jew in Israel listening to their music, who Murray says is an unlikely fan, or a non-Jew in the US, or anywhere in between, the music's fresh quality and depth speaks for itself.
"The music itself is just a vessel to instill positivity into others and make people happy," he says, something Murray believes secular music does not tend to accomplish. Much of secular rap seems to focus on "how they want to drink champagne with naked women," he says. "How can you listen to the same garbage all over again? People need more than that."
Shtar aims for spiritual depth, as Murray raps about performing tikun olam [repairing the world] for the Almighty, God's infinity, the soul and returning the Jews to Zion. Raps are sandwiched between Rubinstein and Dan harmonizing pure Sephardi and Shlomo Carlebach-feeling melodies with modern beats. The lyrics do not feel heavy-handed, however, and Infinity's sound is cool and sharp.
BRINGING JEWS closer to the religion is not the goal, though. Ultimately, Murray says, it's not going to be music that changes a person's philosophy. "What brings Jews closer to Judaism is Judaism itself. It's not going to be the one trick pony that shows up. It's going to be personal connection."
The men of Shtar found their personal connection, and amid their hectic schedules, Murray says he still finds time to study Jewish texts in the mornings. Everyone juggles family, work and music, and lives in Beit Shemesh, except for Solomons, who is studying in a yeshiva in Beit Ayin. Murray also teaches kung fu and works in real estate.
Growing up in a rough neighborhood, Murray says he started getting into fistfights in his teens, but found solace in writing poetry, and later rapping, singing and drum-bassing.
"I started rapping every moment of my free time," he says, adding that his friends all became DJs and club promoters, which helped him get more into the scene. Still, he says he missed a sense of meaning in his life. A chance encounter with Ya'akov, an African-American man converting to Judaism in Seattle, brought Murray to synagogue and Judaism classes. He connected with the philosophy and way of life, so when he was offered a free trip to Israel, he did not want to pass it up. After a few months at Aish, he decided he wanted to stay and continue learning.
Murray met Rubinstein, an Essex native and father of six, at Aish around 2006. Before moving to Israel, Brad had been the guitarist and songwriter for Lisp, an electronica band signed to London Records. The two formed Shtar, and began collaborating, with Brad singing and playing guitar and Murray rapping and making the beats.
Over the years, they added the rest of the ensemble, and now play shows around Israel and toured the UK last year.
A US tour with Shemspeed for the winter is in the works. The crew of Shtar, wives and children, including also Isaac's two and Sommers' three, come to the shows when they can.
Murray feels no regret leaving behind his life or music career in the US, and says he finds far greater meaning on his current path. "When I was more successful in my musical career in America the less nachas ruach [good feeling] I had. I felt like I wasn't accomplishing anything."
Now, Murray says he has found "something deeper, something more real," and he's not letting go.


When I was considering my newest collection for Tiny Toes Design nursery art, I was in the midst of putting my one year old down for a nap. He has recently taken to the habit of bringing a book with him to his crib for naptime and bedtime.
On this particular day, he chose Time for Bed by Mem Fox and Jane Dyer; a beautifully illustrated book which talks about various mother animals encouraging their little ones to go to bed. Each of the illustrations depict the animals so sweetly, they are absolutely precious.
As I laid my son down and watched him flip through the pages, it made me think about sleep and how as humans, we have an obsession with watching others sleep. As parents, we love watching our babies and children sleep, and as pet owners, we love watching our pets sleep. And, when we are in love, we can spend hours watching our loved ones sleep. It makes total sense: when we sleep, we are at great peace. We are content, tranquil, and exude a sense of calm, making us approachable and endearing. And babies? Whether animals or human, are the most irresistible during sleep.
It didn't take long for me to realize that the next collection had to be about sleep. And what is more adorable than a sleeping baby animal? And so, The Sleeping Beauties Collection was born. Personally, I love lions and so, the baby lion cub was the first animal art to be sketched for the collection. Soon thereafter, a duckling followed. Then a baby giraffe, a baby polar bear and a baby lamb.
Many more are in the works, I promise! But take a glimpse here at the collection as it stands today.
Now, I'd love to hear from you! In the comments below, tell me when you think we are most irresistible as human beings? Do you agree that sleep creates a sense of approachability?
As always, thank you so much for reading! And please make sure to share with those you think might enjoy today's post or the backstory of The Sleeping Beauties Collection!

The Race of My Life : An Autobiography
http://www.desibookstore.com/2015/02/the-race-of-my-life-autobiography.html
Biographies & Autobiographies - English
Very few people make it big and very few people amongst them understand the importance of making it big and what took them to get there. Milkha Singh is one of those few. His life is almost rag to riches story – however with a lot of perseverance and hard work.
"The Race of my Life" just documents that hard work and brings it to readers in the form of a book and of course the movie, which most people must have watched. The book chronicles Milkha Singh's life as a refugee, to his joining the Army, to finally becoming a world-class athlete.
The book is inspiring and at the same time makes you want to achieve a lot more. It makes you realize probably what you can be and do. The life of brilliance is captured here. Go read it.
An orphan, refugee and a man who considered becoming a dacoit found home in the Indian Army where he learned life had a different tale for him to follow. One ruled by speed, that of his legs. The Race of My Life is the story of a man called The Flying Sikh, the autobiography of Milkha Singh.
Summary of the Book
Running is synonymous with the name Milkha Singh in India. After witnessing most of his family being killed in the violence that followed the India-Pakistan Partition, he lived with his sister. A short while in a refugee camp in Purana Quila followed by some time at a resettlement colony in Shadara, Delhi, led to Milkha realizing he was confused by life. Disillusioned by life, he considered becoming a dacoit but applied for the Indian Army under his brother's persuasion. Four attempts later, he got in. It was during his posting at Secundrabad that he was introduced to athletics, and discovered his life's true calling.

Mandy Moore Celebrates Shocking Award Nomination
Mandy Moore received an Emmy nomination for her role in the critically acclaimed family drama "This Is Us"–and she's more shocked than anyone. The actress, who got her start in show business as a sugary sweet pop singer, called her nomination "bonkers." In fact, she was at a SoulCycle spin class when Emmy nominees were announced, and never expected to hear her own name among the nominees.
"Honestly, it's never something I've dreamed about. It's beyond my wildest comprehension," Moore said. "I never, ever thought I'd be a part of something that was recognized to this degree, especially 54 episodes in during peak television. I'm really proud of the work we do, but I'm not the new kid on the block anymore and just, again, to be in that conversation and our whole family to get to be there… that's what I'm most excited about."
Moore plays Rebecca Pearson, the mother of adopted triplets, on the show. Several of her castmates, including Sterling K. Brown, Milo Ventimiglia, Ron Cephas Jones, and Phylicia Rashad, also received Emmy nominations. "This Is Us" is up for the Outstanding Drama award for the third year in a row.
"I'm pretty biased because I think everyone on our show is absolutely phenomenal and deserves to be recognized at any given opportunity," Moore told Entertainment Tonight. "This show is the greatest gift to all of us that are a part of it. We love getting to work with one another. We love the work that we get to do. It really is an honor [and] it's not lost on us. We're just thrilled to get to do this every single day."

***IMPORTANT NOTE:*** The current version contains a simplified "Lite Campaign" version of the Tycoon aspects. More detailed Tycoon gameplay will be the focus of future major updates. Please read the Early Access description above for an overview of what is done so far. The current Open Beta is also an almost complete remake of the game in Unreal Engine 4, for a huge improvement in visuals, performance and usability. Currently the Lite Campaign is only available the legacy Non-Unreal version, but were hard at work making a new improved Campaign mode.


This is the first ever English-language study of the war which established Japan's image as a warrior nation, an image which in many ways persists today. Using extensive Japanese materials, including the letters of frontline troops and provincial newspapers, it presents the diverse experience both of soldiers and civilians and reveals how war accelerated the modernization of Japanese society. Included are such topics as the soldiers' impressions of duty, nation, and their 'fellow' Asians; the role of the emperor as commander-in-chief; the use of the war in schools; as well as the activities of small business, institutional religion, and patriotic societies.

The Bristol F.2B Fighter, a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft, had its roots in Frank Barnwell´s design studies, dating from March 1916. His task was to design an aircraft that would replace the B.E.2c.
Two studies were explored – the Type 9 R.2A which was intended to be powered by the 160 hp Beardmore engine, and the R.2B that was to be powered by the 150 hp Hispano Suiza. Neither of these types were built. In the meantime, the new 190 hp Rolls-Royce Falcon inline engine became available, and Barnwell designed a new aircraft around this engine. The new aircraft, known under designation Type 12 F.2A, was intended as a replacement for the F.E.2d and Sopwith 1½ Strutter two-seat fighters.
The new aircraft made its maiden flight on 9 September 1916. Only 52 F.2As were produced. The armament consisted of one synchronised, fixed, forward-firing 7,7mm Vickers machine gun, and one flexible 7.7 mm Lewis Gun, mounted on a Scarff ring in the observer's cockpit. The Bristol Type 14 F.2B flew for the first time on 25 October 1916. The initial batch of approximately 150 aircraft were powered by Falcon I and Falcon II engines. The rest of serial production aircraft by Bristol were equipped with the 275 hp Falcon III engine. The F.2B could reach a maximum speed of 198 km/h, and was more than 16 km/h faster than the F.2A.
F.2B armament was the same as the F.2A, but F.2Bs often carried a second Lewis gun on the rear cockpit mounting. The limited capability of the Bristol factory was the reason why the F.2B was manufactured under licence by Gloucestershire Aircraft Co. Ltd., Marshall & Sons, and National Aircraft Factory No. 3. Due to the shortage of Rolls Royce Falcons, these manufacturers mounted two other engines into the F.2B airframe – Hispano Suiza 8Ab (B, Ba later), and Sunbeam Arab I.
The Bristol F.2B Fighter was a manoeuvrable aircraft that was able to take on single-seat fighters in direct combat. It was flown by many Royal Flying Corps Squadrons, and remained in military service into the 1930s, and surplus aircraft were popular in the civil aviation world.
Packed in Eduard's standard Profipack top opening box, the Bristol F.2B fighter kit comes with four dark grey sprues, one small clear acetate sheet for the windshield, one fret of photo etch, a set of masks, one decal sheet and a instruction booklet.
Even though this kit was first tooled in 2005 and has been released several times in different markings over the years, the moulds have remained quite crisp with no defects or flash found in my kit.
A few pin marks are found, but look to be in areas that will be hidden once built.
There is around 160 plastic parts in this kit, but several parts are not used. Although the amount of parts does seem rather daunting in a kit this size the build does look fairly easy and straightforward.
preference for the rear machine gun mount.
The weakest part of the kit is the Lewis machine guns, but as Eduard do a Brassin version you can always upgrade this part.
The engine is pretty much non existent, with two internal parts with some engine detail blanking out the openings along the cowling, and only the front radiator(?) showing along with the prop shaft, but most of where the engine sits is covered by the cowling and not seen anyway.
Two types of exhausts are supplied with a longer version for marking option C. Holes will need to be drilled out for this longer exhaust, as it sits along the outside of the fuselage.
A four and two blade prop are supplied in the kit, but only the two bladed propeller is used in this boxing.
External detail is exquisite with raised stitching along the fuselage. The wings and tail surfaces have subtle rib tape detail and position able control surfaces.
The wings are one piece each for the lower and upper wings and have the dihedral moulded into them which should help with lining the wings up when connecting the 12 spars up.
Two types of undercarriage struts are given, which depend on which marking option you are going to model.
External stores for this kit are two large bombs, or eight smaller bombs carried under the lower wing. The pylons have photo etch and plastic parts, and look very detailed.
The instruction booklet is in a folded A4 size gloss booklet. The build sequence is pretty easy to follow with any P.E or optional parts highlighted. A few holes need to be drilled out and these are highlighted in red. Internal colours are given throughout the build for the Mr Color and Aqueous paints.
A very handy rigging guide can be found on the last page of the build.
The one thing I did notice about the instructions is how small the booklet is compared with other Eduard kits I have got, so much so I had to break out my optivisor to read some of the part numbers, the joys of getting old and the eyesight going lol.
The decals are printed by Eduard and look to be in register and are in a glossy finish.
A set of masks are supplied with this boxing. Most of the masks are used for the first marking option, which has a red area on the upper wing. masks for the wheel hubs are also supplied.
Lows: None that really stick out.
Verdict: This kit would be a good start to build your first string bag, a pretty easy build with some nice photo etch details added. The only hard part of this build that I can foresee causing any trouble would be the rigging.


Cavalry FC's positive preseason results continued March 30 with a 2-0 win over FC Edmonton at SAIT's Cohos Commons Field in Calgary, in the team's first match against Canadian Premier League opposition.
Goals came off a first-half strike from Cavalry winger Nico Pasquotti and a second-half penalty from French-born Congolese striker Dominique Malonga – the squad's fifth international signing and most recent addition to the squad (pictured below).
Head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. said he was overall pleased with his side's performance in the match, which was Cavalry's second preseason friendly following a 2-0 victory March 19 over the Vancouver Whitecaps U23 development team.
"Today was a good derby," he told reporters after the 90 minutes. "We knew it was going to be feisty, but I think both groups needed different things from the game.
Wheeldon Jr. said he was most pleased with how Cavalry started the game. The home team controlled possession at the start of the match, and their on-the-ball efforts paid off early on with Pasquotti's strike.
Like with most friendlies, the second half saw a slough of substitutions made by both sets of coaches. According to Wheeldon Jr., that's when Cavalry started to lost their first half mojo.
Despite what the coach may have deemed a lack of cohesion in the second half, Cavalry still managed to keep the Edmontonians off the score sheet, as the back four held on for their second consecutive clean sheet.
Wheeldon Jr. said he was pleased with the individual showings of many of Cavalry's players.
Getting some playing time for Cavalry's international signings Malonga and Julian Buescher was another positive, Wheeldon Jr. added.
Mid-way through the second half, Cavalry subbed in local 16-year-olds Joshua Ocholi (pictured below) and Arabin Pebul, who went into the game for the final 20 minutes at left and right back. Despite their youth, the two Calgary players showed comfort on the ball and no signs of nerves.
It wasn't just Cavalry who were fielding the youngsters in the second half, however. According to FC Edmonton coach Jeff Paulus, the visitors' second-half line-up included eight players under the age of 19 during the final 30 minutes.
"[There was a] 15 year old, a couple 16 year olds and a whack of 17 year olds," said Paulus. "To see the energy they brought and see them create a chance – a fantastic play to get the ball around the back and a break away – we're happy with it.
Next up for Cavalry FC will be the official kit reveal April 4, before jetting off the Dominican Republic with the rest of the CPL for two weeks of further training and game preparation.
How did Son Yong Chan look?
^^^He actually got two yellow cards, so only played the first 50 minutes. I didn't include it in the piece because the teams still played 11v11 afterwards.

Is There a Stigma Associated with Special Education Services?
The real stigma will come if your child isn't given the tools to read, write, function independently or interact with others.
In fact, only one of the many federally defined special education eligibility categories requires a cognitive deficit.
Yet, sadly, more often than being asked by parents whether or not identifying a child for an IEP will result in a "stigma," I hear from parents that they are told this by school district staff! Sometimes, it is overt: "we wouldn't want to stigmatize him," but far more often it is more subtle. Statements like "why would you want to label your child?" or "we really try not to qualify kids this young before they have a chance to show us what they can do" are quite common.
The optimist in me would like to see these comments as the naive opinions of the uninformed. The cynic in me who has litigated against school districts for over a decade tells me that these are the statements of school personnel who don't want to spend more time and money on this child. Ultimately, does it really matter which part of me is right? The result is the same.
If the professionals working with children in our public schools continue to associate special education with stigma, then how can we expect society in general to have a different perception?
Special education services are not stigmatizing; inability to function because you haven't been taught how to do so is.
One Response to Is There a Stigma Associated with Special Education Services?
What about special education services in high school? Once a child turns about 14 or 15 years old, it is more about transition planning, and generally at this age the child is allowed to participate in decision-making. In general, it is assumed that to receive special education services means a child isn't very bright. Some may have emotional issues, and others may not even be cognitively impaired. What about life after graduation? Many nondisabled students aren't prepared for life after high school, let alone special education. And college planning seems to be especially poor, since many don't see it as an option for such students. We need to do more to help students for life, and to rid the notion that to receive special education services means that a student has a low IQ.

Royal Leopold won their ticket to the EHL when they won a playoff against Racing Club de Bruxelles following a fourth place finish in the regular season in Belgium in 2018. It will be their fourth EHL season.
Since then, they won through ROUND1 with confident wins over HC Minsk (5-0) and WKS Grunwald Poznan (3-1) to reach their KO16 date with Real Club de Polo.
Royal Leopold have made significant additions for next season when they will return to the EHL as they bid "to lay the foundations to win the Belgian title within three years".
To do this, the Robin Geens/Thomas Van den Balck coaching team have kept the services of Manu Brunet, Tom Degroote, Aristide Coisne, Jean-Baptiste Forgues and Kane Russell while key midfielder Dorian Thiery extended his contract to 2020.
Nicolas Poncelet returned to the club after a title-winning year with Dragons while exciting French forward Gaspard Baumgarten moved from FC Lyon who he helped to runners-up in their national competition.


The designer-duo has never disappointed when it comes to bold and sassy resortwear or swimwear. This time too, they raised the bar with their extensive research adapting to their inspiration of noted painter and sculptor Alexander Calder's art works. The linear frames, eye-print and an abstract colour pattern made every ensemble exclusive with measured-to-perfection precision placements. The swim gear dominated the collection with bikinis, trikinis and maillots colour-blocked and enhanced with sensuous cut-outs – apt only for women in perfect shape. Pieces like the printed shirts or pants, a beige and black sari, a navy structured dress with linear cut-outs and the resort suit acquired our vote for elegant yet powerful ensembles. Barring the dress with an eye placed where it shouldn't have been, Shivan and Narresh sure upped their game with this presentation.
Looking for bespoke resortwear? Here's how you can get your hands on one.

Back spasms end Villar's night after great play
Brewers speedster goes 2-for-5 with double and RBI before leaving game
By Barry M. Bloom
PHOENIX -- Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar was removed from Friday night's game in the eighth inning of Milwaukee's 8-6 win over the D-backs after making a lunging, diving play on Chris Herrmann's sharp ground ball that was seemingly ticketed for right field.Villar made the throw to first, nabbing Hermann
PHOENIX -- Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar was removed from Friday night's game in the eighth inning of Milwaukee's 8-6 win over the D-backs after making a lunging, diving play on Chris Herrmann's sharp ground ball that was seemingly ticketed for right field.
Villar made the throw to first, nabbing Hermann as Brandon Drury took third, but he could not get to his feet after the play. After the game, Brewers manager Craig Counsell revealed that Villar suffered from back spasms.
"It's really locked up," Counsell said. "The back really tightened up."
Villar had X-rays before leaving the ballpark. The results had not been released, and Counsell said the club would know more before Saturday's game.
Villar crumbled to the ground after making the throw to retire Herrmann at first base and sat prone while he was attended to by the Brewers' medical staff. He was finally removed from the field on a cart. Counsell said he thought Villar had injured himself on the jarring impact made when he landed on the ground after diving for the ball.
It was a tremendous play and saved the Brewers. Drury led off the inning with a double off Carlos Torres and likely would have scored if the grounder eluded Villar's grasp. Gregor Blanco lined out to Eric Sogard, who replaced Villar at second, for the inning's second out, and Brewers closer Corey Knebel came in and struck out David Peralta to end the frame.
Knebel then retired the side in order in the ninth, whiffing two more, to record his eighth save. But it all might not have happened without the impressive play by Villar.
"It was outstanding. It was a huge play in the game, too," Counsell said. "Hopefully it's just one of those things that once his back loosens up, it feels pretty good."
That Villar was still able to make the throw might have been the most incredible part of the play.
"I don't think the pain had kicked in yet," Counsell said. "It was all adrenaline, instincts on his part."
At the plate, Villar was 2-for-5, including an RBI double in the Brewers' three-run first inning.
Villar made the full-time move to second base this season with Orlando Arcia at shortstop and Travis Shaw at third base. Counsell said he has noticed improvement in his new second baseman's defense as the season has progressed. Friday night was Villar's 54th start at second this season.
He has struggled at the plate, hitting .213 after his two-hit effort.
"He's new to the position," Counsell said. "[Villar] struggled the first week to 10 games. Since then, there's really been significant improvement. That's part of being out there a lot and getting comfortable and playing one position. He's an improving player at second base, for sure.
"He's starting to make some plays like that more often."

The Grand Duel (Italian: Il Grande duello), also known as Storm Rider and The Big Showdown, is a 1972 Spaghetti Western film directed by Giancarlo Santi, who had previously worked as Sergio Leone's assistant director on The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West. The film stars Lee Van Cleef as a sheriff who seeks justice for a man accused of murder.

Plot
Philip Wermeer has escaped from prison where he serves a sentence for the murder of Ebenezer Saxon, the patriarch of Saxon city, who in his turn is believed to be behind the murder of Wermeer's father. Wermeer is holed up in Gila Bend by a swarm of bounty killers, who want his $3,000 reward, posted by Saxon's three sons David, Eli and Adam. A sheriff named Clayton arrives on a stagecoach and bosses his way through the cordon set up by the local lawmen. While walking to the saloon, he performs actions that tip off Wermeer as to where some of the besiegers are hidden (like throwing a lit match so a man hidden in hay has to put it out). Wermeer makes it to the saloon, where Clayton, who has counted Wermeer's shots and knows that he is out of bullets, arrests him. Hole, a spokesman for the bounty killers, calls on Wermeer to surrender. A shot rings out and Clayton emerges dragging the "dead" convict. They argue that Clayton is a sheriff and therefore he cannot collect bounty, and that he instead should give up the body. The disagreement develops into a gunfight. Wermeer jumps up on a horse and escapes, pursued by the pack (though not Clayton). Wermeer makes the bounty hunters follow his horse, then hitches a ride with the stagecoach, where he finds Clayton among the passengers.

When the group stay the night at Silver Bells, Wermeer goes for a shotgun hanging on the wall, but Clayton stops him. A drunken stationmaster assures the gun is empty, but Clayton retorts: "Never consider a gun empty". Then he and Wermeer play cards, Wermeer betting his $3,000 bounty. Wermeer wins and Clayton promises to take him to Saxon city as he wants. Wermeer steals a revolver from Clayton's bag, but is told that it is empty. Wermeer repeats Clayton's earlier saying and pulls the trigger, but Clayton shows him the bullet, taking it out of his mouth. Wermeer tries to leave, but Clayton shoots the door, this time with the other five bullets. Meanwhile, the bounty hunters led by Hole surround the house. They give Wermeer thirty seconds. He and Clayton are inside with Elisabeth, a female passenger who has earlier shown interest in Wermeer. Clayton tells her that Wermeer is innocent and that he saw who did it, but if Wermeer walks out the door he will never know. Wermeer gives himself up. Hole and two of the bounty hunters now kill the others in their pack, then ride off with Wermeer.

Clayton finds them beating and questioning Wermeer in a waterfall, asking where the silver of his father is and offering to let him go if he tells. Clayton shoots off the rope and liberates him. Wermeer asks if he is still a prisoner. When Clayton says no, he holds a gun against Clayton and rides off to Saxon city on the latter's horse. After arriving Wermeer confronts the Saxon sons, Adam and Eli. He accuses Eli (who is the town's sheriff) and asks who killed his father. We also learn that Hole was sent by Eli to find out who really killed the old man Saxon. Clayton arrives and demands that the Saxons reopen Wermeer's case. Wermeer sends word to his friends and people loyal to his father to gather at the silver mine. A duel between Hole and Wermeer is supervised by Clayton after he reveals that it was Hole who killed Wermeer's father, following orders from Ebenezer Saxon. An ambusher is there helping Hole, but Wermeer shoots him without Clayton interfering. (In a German-language version, the dying Hole says he killed Wermeer because the latter refused to share the silver.)

David Saxon, the oldest of the brothers and the one responsible of running the town, orders Adam to stop the people heading to the silver mine. Shortly after, Adam massacres Wermeer's followers with hidden explosives and a machine gun. He also kills his own men, following his brother David's instructions to not leave any witnesses. Meanwhile David meets with Clayton, who says that they both know who killed the old man Saxon. David offers $25.000 if he and Wermeer leave town. Clayton relays the offer that the charge will be dropped. Wermeer replies that the Saxons made the offer because "dead people don't need a leader", and reveals the wagon in which he carries the bodies of those killed by Adam. Adam shoots him from a window, though Elisabeth, who arrived in town to marry Adam, cries out a warning. Clayton escapes during the gunfight.

In the morning, Wermeer is to be hanged. Clayton says he knows who is the real killer. David wants the hanging to continue but Eli says that he must know. Clayton confesses that he himself did it, explaining that Ebenezer Saxon killed Wermeer's father, and that David Saxon bought the judge who sentenced Philip Wermeer and stripped Clayton of his title of Sheriff after he stood in trial to declare him innocent, so justice could only be done "the Saxon way". Clayton also denounces the massacre at the silver mine, and the Saxons agree to meet Clayton at the cattle pens. At the confrontation, when Clayton approaches, David says that the three must draw first to overcome Clayton's faster and expert gunplay. Wermeer, from a distance, shoots off Clayton's hat so that he draws first. It works and Clayton reacts by killing the three men and only getting a small wound. Wermeer picks up his hat, gun, and star, and says that Clayton can now go back to being a sheriff. Wermeer leaves for Mexico with Elisabeth, not caring about the silver. The old man from the stagecoach that carried the initial group, now friends with Wermeer, drives them down the road, while Clayton goes his own way.

Reception
In his investigation of narrative structures in Spaghetti Western films, Fridlund writes that the relationship between Wermeer and Clayton before their arrival to Saxon City follows the stories of the (commercially more successful) Spaghetti Western films Death Rides a Horse and Day of Anger, about the relationship between an older gunfighter and a younger protagonist, and he further traces the root of this type of plot to the play between the younger and the older bounty killer in For a Few Dollars More. In all four films the older party is played by Lee Van Cleef. Subsequently, Wermeer's return to his home town and quest for the truth about the death of his father, and the massacre of innocents are closer to what happens in films like Massacre Time and Texas, Adios that are more influenced by another genre highlight, Django.

The film's music was composed by future Academy Award winner Luis Enríquez Bacalov. The film's title score was later used in Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill: Volume 1.

Release
Wild East released this alongside Beyond the Law under its American title, The Grand Duel, on an out-of-print limited edition R0 NTSC DVD in 2005. In 2013 Blue Underground re-released the film, again under its American title, in a newly transferred and fully restored R0 NTSC DVD. It was later released on Blu-ray by Mill Creek Entertainment as a double-feature with Keoma utilizing the same restored print.

About the Award: Science, Technology and Arts (=STARTS) form a nexus with an extraordinarily high potential for creative innovation. And such innovation is considered to be precisely what's called for if we're to master the social, ecological and economic challenges that Europe will be facing in the near future. The role of artists thus is no longer seen to be just about propagating scientific and technological knowledge and skills among the general public but much more as a kind of catalyst that can inspire and trigger innovative processes. The artistic practice of creative exploration and experimental appropriation of new technologies has a wide reaching potential to contribute to the development of new products and new economic, social and business models. Accordingly, the STARTS Prize focuses on artistic works that influence or change the way we look at technology, and on innovative forms of collaboration between the ICT sector and the world of art and culture.
Submission via open call: The STARTS Prize aims to showcase and celebrate visions and achievements at the interface between innovation and creation—driven by both science/technology and the Arts. The submission is open to all forms of artistic work and all types of technological and scientific research and development.
Recommendations through international advisors: 15 international advisors who have reputation and credibility in the field will recommend projects and help to encourage wider ranges of participants as well as a geographical and gender balance. These recommended projects will be contacted by the organizers and asked to submit their project via the submission platform. So the same process and deadlines will be applied as for the open submissions. The international advisors serve as facilitators to identify relevant works and projects during the submission process. However, they will not be part of the jury meeting and therefore will not have voting rights.
Duration of Program: The jury convenes on April 15th, 2019. All STARTS Prize winners will be notified by May 2019 at the latest.

Saturday Film Club: Zendaya and John David Washington Save Malcolm & Marie /
Saturday Film Club: Zendaya and John David Washington Save Malcolm & Marie
The mixed reviews of Malcom & Marie offer up the chance to ask who gets to tell what stories, and how we enter into conversations about criticism
The new Zendaya film has been met with mixed reviews but there's more than meets the eye in the long drama of Malcolm & Marie. Let's unpack.
Malcom & Marie was born as a quarantine project by Zendaya and Euphoria creator, Sam Levinson, when the HBO show's production was paused due to the pandemic.
The two wanted to create something together, something that didn't just work around the filming restrictions but used them to its advantage. After throwing around ideas and looking through drafts of scripts, they decided on Malcolm & Marie, an ambitious project that takes place over one night in one place and that was shot by a small team of 22 over 14 days.
For Zendaya, the film was a risk. Though it was bought by Netflix due to her superstardom and John David Washington's blockbuster status post-Tenet Tenet and BlackKklansman), the film draws plainly from the classics, the greats it aspires to emulate.
Throughout the film, Washington's character, Malcolm, semi-pretentiously parades his knowledge of classic films and directors, and the film itself mirrors them in form. It is notably shot in black and white and is the kind of movie written to seem like it could have first been a play . It has already been compared to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and even Fences (the film adaptation that starred Viola Davis and Denzel Washington, John David Washington's father.)
Though the movie comes to us after Zendaya's Emmy award for Euphoria, it was conceived before she had Emmy-winning pedigree, so the actress still felt like she had something to prove, an older self to step into. This is her first major role as a leading lady and her first time playing an adult instead of a teenager.
In an Instagram post before the film's Netflix premiere, she wrote: "Normally I'm pretty self-critical and that leads me to be far too fearful to make things myself or trust myself enough to even try. This is really my first time believing that maybe I could. This is my first time being a leading lady, but also my first time being this creatively involved in something, producing something, co-financing something, owning something and sharing it all with my crew."
What Goes Down in Malcolm & Marie
The film is an intimate endeavor watching a series of arguments play out over one night and exploring the worst of a couple. Washington plays a young director on the night following his first big premiere as he waits for what he expects will be good reviews. The problem: He forgot to thank his girlfriend, Marie, on whom the film was ostensibly based.
From the beginning, the film sizzles with tension, even as the couple goes through mundane motions.
It's over mac and cheese that the first fight begins, a slightly comical and overly emphasized fact that nevertheless sets up the viewer for what the film will be: a battle of hills, an unflinching exploration of the ugly.
It all begins over the mac and cheese!via Vulture and Netflix
Some moments, admittedly, feel indulgent. Two hours is an ambitious amount of time to get to the heart of a character, let alone a relationship, let alone one as tumultuous as this with characters as complex as these. Instead of really exploring their entire personhood, the film falls back on tropes: Marie, the recovered but bitter addict, and Malcolm, the braggadocious but insecure artist.
Despite its commercial marketing and superstar actors, the film is not for the faint of heart. It draws out its emotional exploration throughout its almost two-hour run and makes the audience feel it without letting them look away.
Zendaya holds the movie together
Calling It Now: There Will Be Oscar Nominations
While the film is wanting for more nuanced character development, the actors take from these potentially stale characters and give them whole worlds. Zendaya is unflinching and dynamic, as gentle and generous to Marie as Marie is to Malcolm.
Washington's physicality is incredible. His wild gestures play his emotions in his whole body — from jumping on windowsills to taking out his aggression on the empty backyard. His larger-than-life performance, which draws from the character's penchant for the dramatic and performative, is the perfect compliment to Zendaya's control.
Washington counters her coldness with loud cruelty but meets her in the tender moments, too. He's good at being overly braggadocios and putting on the bravado, but he's also good at being ashamed.
Yet through it all , the focus is always on Zendaya. Though flawed and hurtful in her own right, Marie is the center of the film, bringing the conversation back and restarting the fight after its (sometimes overly contrived) pauses and breaks.
Sometimes, I wanted Marie to do more than smoke a cigarette and have another outfit change in the between moments, because the moments where Zendaya just sits and plays a medley of emotions across her face are the most powerful, the most convincing.
We're calling the Oscar nomination now — and not just because a film about film, about Hollywood and filmmakers and art, is always prone to industry recognition, but because these actors make this movie, keep you watching, and keep raising the tension well after you think they can.
What's the Take Away: It's a Love Story. But Not a Romance.
They say the meat of a movie is in the details, the little things that don't seem to be about the plot but add so much and give so much away. In Malcolm and Marie, it's the dress, the opening dialogue, the damn mac and cheese.
The whole night starts with Marie avoiding a fight, saying presciently: "Nothing productive is going to be said tonight." She's wrong, but the most productive things are said by her.
Just as she's the dramatic center, Marie is also the moral center of the film. She's not self-righteous and she's not always in the right, but she counters Malcolm's own self-satisfaction, self-indulgence, and self-absorption with an unwavering challenge and finally the insistence that he thinks about her.
"Once you know someone is there for you, that they love you, you never think of them again," she says, and Malcolm's whole facade of bravado falls down.
Malcolm & Marie explores the dynamic of a relationship built on trauma and feelings that go unaddressed, while pulling out the universal need to be acknowledged, seen, and appreciated by the people you love.
The film feels close to the wound, and much of its press has focused on the parallels between Malcolm and Sam Levinson. Much of the catalyzing action comes from Levinson's life: his own experience with addiction, his own struggle with his representing both his pains and his privileges, and a moment where he too forgot to thank his wife in a speech.
The culminating monologue ties together the film's broader themes of art and intimacy in a way that feels smart and sharpens perspective on the whole film. Marie talks about the mystery of a relationship to mirror Malcom's reverence for the mystery of film, putting his flaws into words he can understand.
Not a Film About Race … But Not Not About Race
Malcolm insists that his film is not it about race. "It's a film about shame," he says. "About guilt." Both things become true for Malcolm & Marie.
"Cinema doesn't need to have a message," he later says in his epic physical rant about art and interpretation. "It needs to have a heart and electricity." Malcolm & Marie has electricity, but it also seems to have a message.
From the beginning it has a keen eye on race and the white gaze. Between their arguments, Malcolm and Marie talk about the critics, the impending reviews, the "white girl from the LA Times" whose review later shows up to confirm Malcolm's fears that his art will forever be evaluated in a political lens.
Many Black artists and filmmakers have expressed this same sentiment in their press tours — Jordan Peele, for example, made the distinction between Get Out, which was a commentary on racism, and Us, which was just a horror film that happened to center Black people, not a commentary on Blackness; and the recent Michaela Coel award snub forces us to ask whose stories get to be considered "universal?" Critics have wondered if Sam Levinson is allowed to use Black actors to make this point.
" Levinson, a white director, uses Malcolm as a black shield for his real target, not the critics who analyze Black works, but the ones who interpret his," says the Guardian, and many critics have agreed. The film pulls no punches from its criticism of criticism, which makes those sections an easy target for critics.
But this is an easy target. The film doesn't position itself as the authority on criticism, and Malcolm himself (maybe Levinson's stand-in) is not safe from criticism (despite his desire to be) — not from the "white girl at the LA Times" and not from Marie. The film uses Marie to counter and challenge his self-protective rant against criticism, which does seem to hide a director's own insecurity — but if that reflects Levinson's own, he doesn't paint himself a hero.
The conversations about race don't come to conclusions about Blackness or art; they offer up ideas and prioritize the characters rather than their opinions. The characters are flawed, but they are not trying to get to the bottom of racism in one night. The film gives the characters room to be as complex and open about racism as it does about gender and art and anything else — resisting the idea of a monolithic opinion that all Black people share that can be defined.
Though this is a Levinson production, both Zendaya and Washington are producers with large creative influences on the project. As actors with agency, it would be reductive not to consider their own input must have made its way into the portrayal of Blackness in the film. And if Levinson and Zendaya had created this project, one of a Black director talking about reviews without talking about race, it would have been ignorant of the moment, the reality. Levinson speaks to current concerns, but offers up complex viewpoints in response.
The film, ultimately, offers up that it is important to consider who is behind the scenes telling which stories, but it also says that artists are supposed to "imagine what life might be like for other people." That imagination comes with internal scrutiny, as well as external scrutiny. What Sam Levinson's whiteness shows is his confidence that he can tell any story, that he can start any conversation.
And white people should be having these conversations. They shouldn't be the authority on what representation means, but they should examine its limits and be open to the criticism they might receive. A film this commercial should allow entry into the conversion and force white audiences to ask themselves how they think and talk about race, representation, and their own supposed wokeness — Levinson included.
What Malcom & Marie has the potential to do is normalize the interplay of talking about race in a film without making it a "race" film that gets ignored by mainstream audiences and preaches to the choir. The commercial marketing of the film should embolden Black writers to be as unapologetic as this, to make a movie as capacious and ambitious as this but make it better — and without having to spending as much time justifying it.
