Album: So Far, So Good... So What?
This song talks about the Parents Music Resource Council (the PMRC), an American advocacy group headed by Tipper Gore that tried to restrict the sale of certain music. Many musicians believed the PMRC was a threat to freedom of speech.
R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed.
E, we eject them, in the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
Cop killer Justin Bourque posted the lyrics to the song hours before he shot dead three police officers and wounded two others in the Canadian city of Moncton on June 4, 2014.

NYFF Review: SECRET SUNSHINE
September 30, 2007 Rich Drees Film Reviews
Secret Sunshine is an emotional tour de force, taking its audience to the heart of a mother's worst fear and then following her ensuing descent into a vortex of depression, denial and ultimately, madness.
Recently widowed Lee Sin-ae (Jeon Do-yeon) moves with her young son to Miryang, the hometown of her deceased husband. There she hopes to establish a new life while maintaining a link to her past. As she settles in, she starts a business teaching piano and begins to make friends. In an effort to impress her newfound friends and neighbors, she talks about buying some land and building a home. This illusion of affluence, however, makes her son the target of kidnappers, who demand a ransom that Sin-ae can't pay. When the kidnappers don't believe her protests that she doesn't have the ransom amount they think she has, her son is found dead and the kidnapper is revealed to be someone close to her.
Such is the plot to only the first third or so of the movie. Where that would be enough for a whole movie in another's hands, but for Lee Chang-Dong it is just set up for the gut-wrenching journey Sin-ae is on the road to. The success of this movie rests entirely on the shoulders of Jeon, who gives an incredible performance. As Sin-ae's fortunes continue to sour, Jeon takes us step-by-step through her breakdown and descent into despair. It is this measured, naturalistic performance that keeps the film from becoming mawkish melodrama, overridden with histrionics that seem more about acting a character than being the character. Her work also helps ground the proceedings when Sin-ae becomes involved with Korea's growing Christian church community.
Beautifully shot, the film paints a portrait of the sleepy Korean town it is set in. People laugh and cry, go about their business and gossip. It's this universal, mundane reality of life that sets the stage for this tale, as well as propels the story along, helping to anchor the drama of the film and give it more punch-in-the-guts power.

Today I met with my French counterpart, Minister for Defence Jean-Yves Le Drian.
Australia and France share a longstanding and close defence relationship with a shared commitment to addressing global security challenges.
In coming days, I will visit Villers?Brettoneux and Bullecourt where our nations' soldiers once fought together during the battles of World War One. In more recent years we have operated alongside each other in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
France and Australia have both experienced the devastating impact of home-grown terror, with the death of civilians from the Lindt Café siege in Sydney and the Charlie Hebdo and subsequent supermarket attacks in Paris. We understand all too well the need to prevent the further spread of violent extremism.
We are both committed to assisting the Iraqi Government to prepare sufficient forces to maintain the momentum of the counter-attack against Daesh, and regain control of its territory.
We are also strong partners in the Pacific, with Australian and French defence forces working alongside to provide life saving humanitarian assistance to Vanuatu in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Pam.
As announced by the Government on 20 February this year, France has been indentified as a potential international partner for Australia's future submarine programme. As part of my programme, I will tour the Direction des Constructions Navales Services (DCNS) shipyards.

The factory braces and seams are clean and neatly painted satin black. The chassis was disassembled, prepped and painted very neatly.

After two wonderful semesters at Ezra Guitar, Prospect Gymnastics is moving to its own space! Conveniently located at 1023 Church Avenue, our new gymnastics studio will be designed as a children's gymnastics play-space. The entire floor will be padded with 2 inch foam and there are different fun skill-building fitness equipment: there are balance beams for coordination, different kinds of bars and rings for strength building and a 15 foot trampoline which is a lot of fun to jump on and is also used for learning tumbling skills that are difficult on floor. Click on the link below to see our video, hear about our new place and save on classes for the upcoming year!


It is very interesting to read about such versatile people who during their lives have done a lot of interesting things.
I feel so fine about the vintage shops. That is really fashionable now to have the things at home like that.
I remember the shop well.bought many great items there including a 1940s suit. I now sell antiques - though not many clothes from Cambs Antiques Centre.
Thanks, Sheila! Glad you enjoyed shopping at Tigerlily.
These stores are a real paradise for connoisseurs of vintage things, because every time here you can find a lot of treasures.
The first time Vintage cloth shop was a great experience to many of the modern people around the world.I love to collect all the information for my own research for the future generation.
Cambridge is the place where someone's dreams come true. Shopping is good.
I know that in such stores you can find many interesting and incredibly beautiful copies of clothes that are not produced now.

Savannah Morning News: Savannah native honored for social work
Terriyln Rivers-Cannon | Posted on June 19, 2019 |
By Katie Nussbaum, Savannah Morning News
As a social worker, Terriyln Rivers-Cannon has spent nearly 20 years providing a voice for those who need it most. In April the Savannah native made history becoming the first Georgian and African American to be recognized as the National School Social Worker of the Year by the School Social Workers Association of America.
"I just keep saying it's a blessing. I was stunned when I found out (that I was the first Georgian and African American). I could do nothing but stand and pause for a second," said Rivers-Cannon, who credits her family and husband for their unwavering support over the last 18 years in helping her get to where she is today.
"The work started so much before the award. I've been doing it for a long time, but this is just like icing on the cake and every time I would say, 'This is what I'm going to do' and put those things into action over time, they've always given me their full support and I'm so very thankful for that."
A graduate of Tompkins High School, Rivers-Cannon obtained her bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Voorhees College and her master's degree in social work from Florida State University. She later earned her doctoral degree in educational leadership at Argosy University.
After graduate school, Rivers-Cannon worked as the medical social worker at Memorial Health University Medical Center and now works for the Atlanta Public School System at Booker T. Washington High School and Fickett Elementary School.
Being able to empower, provide guidance and speak for those who can't do it for themselves is what she enjoys most about her job, Rivers-Cannon said.
"Our students aren't always going to tell other staff members what's going on, but when it comes to a social worker, we're able to provide that comfort and reassurance for them and let them know that whatever your situation is, it's going to be okay," she said.
Rivers-Cannon wasn't always interested in becoming a social worker, but was inspired to go into the field by her aunt, Katie Mae Tindal.
"She would sit at the table with all of her social work information and we would have long conversations about it and I would always think, 'That's not for me; I'm not doing that.' But the more we talked about it, the more I became drawn to it," she said.
Being the oldest of four, Rivers-Cannon said she often took the lead when it came to her siblings, which also helped pave the way for her career.
"I ended up as I am right now doing this work and I truly enjoy and thoroughly enjoy doing the work," she said.
Rivers-Cannon currently shares advice and resources on her weekly podcast, "Dare To Soar with Doctor R.C." and in the coming weeks is preparing to launch a scholarship and website, dedicated to her aunt, that will help to build her public speaking opportunities.
"It's centered around information about social work and advocacy and providing information to families," she said.
"We talk about parents, but I always say that a parent is not always someone who gave life to you biologically. It's about the individuals who truly care and are there for you to provide that time that's needed."

As Catholic health care providers, we have a special responsibility to serve the least among us and be a voice for the poor and vulnerable. This includes our brothers and sisters who move to the United States as refugees and immigrants. Inspired by the Declaration of Independence promise of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," they come in search of better futures for themselves and their children.
That's why my parents immigrated to America from Italy and Austria in the 1950s. They arrived here with next to nothing in their pockets, but they understood the intrinsic value of hard work. They labored tirelessly for our family and instilled a strong work ethic in my brother and me at a young age.
When you're an immigrant or the child of an immigrant, you never forget what it's like to be poor or to feel like an outsider. You also never forget the compassion shown to you and the opportunities you were given. That's what makes this country great. It's the fabric of who we are.
Like other Catholic health systems, we at Providence St. Joseph Health, based in Renton, Washington, embrace refugees and immigrants as dear neighbors in our communities, and we serve them without regard to their legal or socioeconomic status. Our medical facilities are a sanctuary for all in need of healing — a safe place where everyone can expect to be treated with compassion and respect. We continue to believe that every human being deserves quality health care. Fundamentally, we see it as a right, not a privilege.
I fully support national security as a clear priority for our country. However, I urge us not to lose sight of the human dignity inherent in every person who lives within our borders, whether they were born here or came from a foreign land, whether they are citizens or not. The United States must continue to be a beacon of hope for those fleeing war-torn nations and oppression, and we must welcome people from other shores who offer talent and expertise urgently needed, and sometimes in short supply, here at home.
The United States must continue to be a beacon of hope for those fleeing war-torn nations and oppression, and we must welcome people from other shores who offer talent and expertise urgently needed, and sometimes in short supply, here at home.
Welcoming and serving one another makes us a better, more enriched nation. We are, after all, a land of immigrants. As Pope Francis reminds us, "Many of us were foreigners once." And as the Catholic social teachings call us to remember, "We are one human family."
Providence St. Joseph Health is proud to operate safety net clinics and partner with other providers in our communities to offer free or discounted care to poor and vulnerable populations, including noncitizens. It's one way we are narrowing disparities in health outcomes between the rich and the poor.
In several of the states we serve, for example, we provide prenatal care to pregnant undocumented migrant workers, who often face poor living and working conditions that can lead to high-risk pregnancies. Best-practice prenatal care helps to ensure healthier outcomes for mothers and babies. It also helps save precious health care resources by avoiding costs that would have been spent caring for severely ill newborns.
Yet, with concerns over increased deportation enforcement, we are hearing reports that some patients are afraid to go to medical appointments for fear they will be met by immigration officials and be deported and separated from their families. It is critical that we put this fear to rest and reassure patients that when they are in our care, they are in a safe environment, and that their personal information is protected.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security currently includes medical treatment and health care facilities among the "sensitive locations" at which enforcement actions "should generally be avoided, and that such actions may only take place when (a) prior approval is obtained from an appropriate supervisory official, or (b) there are exigent circumstances necessitating immediate action without supervisor approval."
Providence St. Joseph Health strongly maintains that the health care setting is and always will be a place of privacy and intimate human encounters that must be respected and kept sacred.
An estimated 4.6 million children are U.S. citizens with undocumented mothers or fathers, and we are receiving some reports that parents from these families are removing their eligible kids from Medicaid programs for fear of sharing too much information about their family's mixed residency status and risking deportation. Maintaining coverage for these and all children is vital to the public health of our communities. We must promote a society where families feel safe to keep their children out of the shadows and to ensure they get the health care they need.
Immigrants and individuals from impoverished nations are at risk for human trafficking, which is essentially a contemporary form of slavery. Victims can be coerced or misled into everything from prostitution, domestic servitude, sweatshop factories and farm work.
The statistics are startling. In the U.S., there were 26,727 calls to the National Human Trafficking Hotline in 2016. California reported the highest number of human trafficking cases, followed by Texas and then Florida.
Worldwide, an estimated 20.9 million victims are being trafficked at any given time, according to the International Labor Organization's statistics for 2014. Of this alarming number, 26 percent are children, and 55 percent are women and girls. It is an unthinkable injustice that victimization of this nature still happens in today's world.
But we, as health care workers, are in a position to do something about it. An astounding 87 percent of human trafficking survivors said health care personnel were the only professionals they had contact with while they were enslaved, which means we have an important responsibility to recognize the signs of this abuse and help victims escape their situation.
The Catholic Health Association has been a leading voice in the imperative to end human trafficking, and Providence St. Joseph Health is proud to be part of this cause. We are training our emergency department and labor and delivery unit caregivers to identify people possibly involved in human trafficking. We also are forming community partnerships in order to provide essential resources and support for vulnerable people who leave or escape from traffickers.
"We have an opportunity to help rescue these victims. Sometimes it's just asking a simple question: 'Can I call someone you trust?' or 'Can I call your family?'" said Lori Eastman, LCSW, manager of patient and family services at Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance, California.
When caregivers recognize signs of human trafficking and how to broach the topic in a safe, nonthreatening way, they can be a vital lifeline to those in need. This important work is helping to save lives and reconnect loved ones with families.
Citing the need to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals, President Donald J. Trump's Jan. 23, 2017, executive order barred U.S. entry to individuals from seven African and Middle Eastern countries (later amended to six countries). More than 300 of the Providence St. Joseph caregivers are nationals or dual nationals of the seven countries, and these individuals are valued members of the Providence St. Joseph Health family.
When Pope Francis visited the United States in 2015, he shared an important message with the immigrants who live here: "By contributing your gifts, you will not only find your place here, you will help to renew society from within," he said.
That is true of the diverse workforce we celebrate at Providence St. Joseph Health. Whether some of our caregivers are here on work visas or hold dual citizenship or green cards, they play a vital role in the health of those we serve. They bring highly needed, highly technical skills to our communities. Their work literally saves lives, and we express our profound gratitude for the contributions they make every day.
These individuals also include physicians who come here to learn the latest medical techniques, which in turn, allows them to advance health care in their home countries. It's part of our commitment to improving health around the globe, especially in developing nations.
In addition, executive orders limiting refugees concern us as a matter of social justice. The Catholic social teachings remind us: "We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences. We are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. … Our love for all demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and conflict."
While we support sensible immigration reform and agree that national security is paramount, Providence St. Joseph Health stands with all who seek to escape violence and injustice, both at home and abroad. We believe our success and health as a nation comes from building bridges and breaking down cultural walls.
We believe our success and health as a nation comes from building bridges and breaking down cultural walls.
It's easy to take for granted Emma Lazarus' sonnet for the Statue of Liberty. We have heard it so often. But the words ring true today, more than ever, 134 years after they were written.
The words embody what we are called to do as Catholic health care and social service providers. They also align with the heritage of Providence St. Joseph Health and other Catholic health systems. Our purpose is to show love and compassion for every person we encounter, and in our capacity as health care providers, we have an opportunity to support healing in mind, body and spirit.
Like our fellow Catholic health systems, Providence St. Joseph Health takes this calling to heart. Reaching out to the less visible and forgotten members of our society is a core part of our mission. For example, Providence St. Joseph Health offers safe, affordable housing to hundreds of low-income individuals in our communities, including refugees and immigrants. We also work closely with other nonprofits and social service agencies to address food insecurity, and we have made access to mental health care an urgent priority. These issues represent persistent needs in our communities, especially for refugee and immigrant populations.
As lawmakers deliberate policies on immigration and health care, it is important for those of us in Catholic health systems to continue to be a voice for the poor and vulnerable. When the path forward is uncertain, we know we are going in the right direction if we lead with compassion and if we return over and over again to our core values.
Throughout this article, I have used the word "population" to describe the immigrants and refugees we serve. But we will do well as a nation if we think of them as individuals with their own personal struggles, who have faced the difficult challenge of leaving their home country and coming to a new land.
To quote Pope Francis again, he reminded us when he visited the U.S. in 2015 that thousands of people are led here in search of opportunities and a better life for themselves and their families.
"Is this not what we want for our own children?" he asked. "We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation."
Our values as Catholic health care professionals call us to welcome the stranger and the newcomer — just as my parents were welcomed — so they can share their God-given talents with us and make our country a better place for all.

Floyd Mayweather Claims The Fight With Khabib Nurmagomedov Is Happening
Posted on Last updated: October 17, 2018 By: Author Alex
'Oh We're Fighting' Floyd Mayweather Looking 9 Figure Payday For Khabib 'Eagle' Nurmagomedov Bout
Shortly after winning over Conor Mcgregor at UFC 229, Khabib Nurmgaomedov called out retired undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather saying hey Floyd let's go we have to fight now.
Not long after that, 'Money' responded, assuring that he's ready for the challenge and all parties involved should get the checkbook out.
Many fans and sports analysis doubt that this fight will never happen as they're just entertaining us, but a 41 years old boxing legend says this fight is happening.
In a recent interview with TMZ, Mayweather says a boxing match against Nurmagomedov is "happening," however he didn't offer any further detail and adding that he'd potentially be making the biggest paycheck than the one he received to box Conor Mcgregor, where Mayweather won that bout by TKO in the 10th round.
Mayweather also layout the fight rules that Khabib has to crossover to the boxing ring for the showdown and it has to happen in 'Sin City Las Vegas.
"Oh, we're fighting," Mayweather said (transcript via MMAjunkie). "I'm my own boss. I can't say what's going on on Khabib's end, but on my end, we can make it happen.
"… When I face Khabib, I'm getting a nine-figure payday. It's more than the McGregor fight – probably $100 million more, guaranteed. It could be somewhere between $110 [million] and $200 million guaranteed."
Khabib is currently under NSAC suspension, as well Commission is withholding his fight purse of $2 million pending further investigation. 'Eagle' is expected to get some severe fine or additional suspension when the hearing conducts on October 24.
Yesterday UFC president Dana White confirms that UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmgaomedov is staying with the UFC as both sides have sorted out things.
First Khabib has to resolve his issues with Commission, after that he has to decide if he wants to meet Mayweather's demands.
Do you believe this showdown will happen?

The Secret Visit
A little under six months ago, I was standing more or less on the other side of the world. The weather, as I made my way up Stone Chimney Creek Road, was much as it is in this corner of the northern hemisphere today: a sky the colour of mushroom stalks, misty rain blowing on the wind, temperatures cold enough to make wearing a parcel of goose down advisable. If our world didn't tilt, of course, these seasonal pulses wouldn't happen. But it does – so the brightness and warmth I left behind back in May is now, in November, lavished on the south.
There was a house on the hill there: modern yet modest, neat and tidy, with a bright green ute lurking like a grasshopper in the backyard. We took a look at the vineyard next to it. It's not big: just 3.5 acres (1.4 ha) of Shiraz, planted in 1910 on a light sandy loam over clay. Not generous soils, but enough to keep most of the vines alive ever since, drinking only the water which falls from the sky. They're old but not massy, and look north-east: the warmer option here, and necessary for Shiraz growing at almost 500 m, though that turn to the east means they're in shadow a few hours before summer dusk.
The mist, the solitude, the forbidden allure: I almost felt like a spy. I was there to taste some of Australia's most astonishing red wines, yet I hardly dared tell anyone I was going. When I owned up later, and shyly admitted how much I'd liked them, I was met with near-incredulity. At least once, I was asked to confirm what I'd just said. These are the great wines you aren't, in right-thinking circles, meant to like: too rich, too much alcohol, too many "Parker points". They swim furiously against Australia's current tide of early-picking righteousness and buttoned-down restraint. But, sorry folks, great they are.
The man who lives, quietly and privately enough, up at 9 Stone Chimney Creek Road is Chris Ringland, and the wines I would use 'great' about are his 2007 and 2008 Shiraz (alcohol levels 17.3% and 18.3%). They are enormous and liqueur-like, but in no way specious or confected. I'd call them profound, essence-like, saturated in extract, aromatic to the last drop, shocking in their depth and density. The 2007 smells of mineral oil, leaf litter, stones and dust. Despite its weight and density, it is somehow searching, lively and vivid: definitely Eden, not Barossa (though you'll read 'Barossa Ranges' on the label). The 2008 is more savoury in aroma, and has a little more menthol, too. Its taste is hard to describe. It's as if the normal gravitational force in a wine had suddenly been doubled, and an entire landscape had been sucked into that physics-defying mouthful: the stones, the trees, the herbs, the plants, all of them minced up into an elixir which creeps like lava over your tongue. These kind of wines redefine the wine-drinking experience. Of course they are not 'refreshing'; of course they are not burgundy or claret, or anything built to emulate them. They are Something Different: a vast, subterranean murmur from one of earth's most ancient, most eroded, most enduring landscapes.
There are plenty of specious, highly adjusted wines made in the flamboyant style in Barossa, and the results can be repellent. These wines, by contrast, are pure, true and only gently adjusted (the 2008 has a pH of 3.77 and acidity of 5.92 g/l). The fruit was picked on April 16th and March 28th respectively; four unhurried years pass before they see the inside of a bottle, so the 2008 was only bottled in March this year. "I saw the vineyard," Ringland remembers, "in early June in 1994. I took a look at it. I just figured it was going to do what I wanted. I nipped over the fence on Sunday, and owned it by Monday. I just want to make a delicious wine which will age."
He worked for Robert O'Callaghan at Rockford for 18 years. "Roseworthy taught us as winemakers to ask 'What are you going to do?' The big epiphany came from Robert. 'What is the wine telling you to do?'"
I made my way back to Adelaide in thoughtful mood. How could that scraggy vineyard up in the Eden hills produce a wine like that, just a few gear-changes away from the crystalline finesse and delicacy of the Rieslings of Pewsey Vale? How is it possible? Is it not wondrous? Would we not be poorer without them? Are both not inspirational? And why is Australia's wine establishment not proud of beauty this singular?

North Barossa Vintners Soil Map
North Barossa Vintners Property Map
Geisler Block (2.78Ha)
Purchased from the Geilser family in the early 1900's and used as a mixed farm block until it was planted in 1999, with Shiraz cuttings being sourced from Dallwitz old and Dallwitz Top block's.
Uniquely, the row orientation is planted on the summer ecliptic plane, with the Sun rising on the Eastern strainer posts, passing over the vines and setting on the Western strainer posts, providing plenty of shade during the day.
Planted to 3.3m wide rows at 2.4m vine spacing, the block gently slopes from the Northeast to the Southwest. The vines have two permanent arms on a single wire and are pruned to a two bud spur with 50-60 buds per vine.
Generally, these Shiraz produce a medium sized, loose clustered bunch with a small to medium berry size.
Established over 2 years in 1951-52, ¾ of the rootlings came from cuttings that were taken prior to the removal of the original vines, which were planted in the 1880's. The remaining rootlings came from some of the first old vine selection made in the late 1940's.
Planted North-South, the row width is 3.3m with vines spaced at 3m. There is a gradual slope from the North down to the South end with the Southern end of the block having more loamy soil. Pruned to the traditional Rod'n'spur with three canes on a single wire and 4-5 two bud spurs left per vine. Between 35-45 buds are left per vine.
The bunches are typically long and loose clustered with a medium berry size.
Home Old Shiraz Block (1.7Ha)
Home VSP Shiraz Block (2.36Ha)
These vines were planted in 1997 on what was and old apricot orchard, with a combination of Shiraz clone BVRC 30, together with a cutting selection from Roehr and Schrapel old vines.
Orientation is North-South. The row width is 3.3m, with the vines spaced at 2.1m. There is a gradual slope from North down to the South, with a crumbly calcareous soil layer predominating at the Northern end at depths of 40-50cm. The vines have two permanent arms on a single wire and pruned to a two bud spur with a loose lift of foliage, conducted post -flowering to help protect the fruit from sunburn during the summer. Between 50 and 60 buds are left per vine.
Generally bunch structure is medium sized and tight, with a small to medium berry size.
Home Dam Block (0.73)
Planted in 1964, the Shiraz cuttings were taken from the Dallwitz Old Block.
Running North-South, the rows are 3.3m wide with the vines spaced at 2.7m. The block gently slopes from North to South and is covers 3 distinct soil types, which have been divided by two ancient creek beds that run across all the rows. Pruned to the traditional Rod'n'spur with 3-4 canes on a double wire and 5-6 two bud spurs left per vine. Between 40 and 50 buds are left per vine.
The bunches have classic Shiraz characteristics, and are loose clustered with a medium to large berry size.
Dairy Block (5.08Ha)
Planted in 1998. The block gets it name from the cows that grazed on the pastures which once grew there.
A combination of the Shiraz clone BVRC 30 and selected vines from the Dallwitz old and Home old blocks were the source of the rootlings.
Planted to an East-West orientation. The row width is 3.3m with the vines spaced at 2.4m. The Southern rows are established on some of most fertile soil on the property. The vines have two permanent arms on a single wire and pruned to a two bud spur with 60-70 buds per vine.
Bunches show classic Shiraz formation, a long loose cluster with a wide top and medium sized berries.
Dallwitz Old Block (2.64Ha)
We purchased this property from the Dallwitz family in 1945. This block is, no doubt, one of the jewels in the crown of Dimchurch Vineyards.
Planted under vine as early as 1888, we definitely know that it was established before 1912, making these some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the Barossa.
The rows are orientated North-South. Width and vine spacing is 3m x 3m. The block is what you would call "flat" but does have a slight rise in the middle. Pruned to the traditional Rod'n'spur with three canes on a single wire and 4-5 two bud spurs left per vine. Between 35-45 buds are left per vine.
Bunches are generally long and loose clustered with a medium berry size.
Dallwitz Top Block (2.57Ha)
Dallwitz VSP Block (4.9Ha)
Established over three years from 1994-1996, the rootlings were sourced from a combination of all our old blocks and the clonal selection 1654.
Planted North-South, the row width is 3.3m with the vines spaced at 2.4m. There is a gentle rise in the middle on the block, with some of the shallowest soils promoting the development of very small bunches with tiny, intense berries. The vines have two permanent arms on a single wire and are pruned to a two bud spur with a loose lift of foliage applied post -flowering to help protect the fruit from the sun during the Summer. Generally, 50-60 buds are left per vine.
The bunch structure is medium sized and tight with a small to medium berry size.
E.R. "94" Block (1.34Ha)
As the name indicates, planted in 1994 with a combination of BVRC 30 and 1654 clonal selection rootlings.
The rows are planted East-West and are 3.3m wide, with the vines spaced at 2.4m. The block gently slopes from West to East and shows a transition from a sandy loam soil to loam clay at the Eastern end. The vines have two permanent arms on a single wire and pruned to a two bud spur with 55-65 buds left per vine.
The bunches usually display classic shiraz characteristics and are loose clustered with a medium berry size.

Beyond Van Gogh. Photo provided.
Beyond Van Gogh is an immersive celebration of the artist—until Sept. 16
By Joyce MacPhee on August 5, 2021
I recently attended the Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibit in the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park and I was not disappointed! As the viewer, you are immersed in the projected images you experience above, below, to the sides—all around you. Some artwork is even projected onto your body. You and your fellow spectators become part of the images that magically flow, hover, vanish, and reform. This emerging art form of wall and floor projection does not replace traditional exhibitions and art books, but indeed goes beyond them.
Photo provided.
The images were taken from 300 Van Gogh pieces. The first section of the exhibition contains illuminated panels with information about Van Gogh's life and career to help contextualize his work.
The second section is a large room with high ceilings and two large windows on either side. Streams of images constantly pour down the walls and onto the floor. Within this animated stream are familiar bits and pieces from his better-known works. A self-portrait of the artist appeared from time to time, as if observing the audience.
The third section is the principal part of the exhibition. The dimensions are huge in the rectangular space that felt as spacious as a football field. A combination of flowing and static images are projected onto the 30-feet high walls, the floor, and three columns. Most people walked, stood, or sat on the floor or in a chair. Many children moved freely, running, jumping, and often dancing, rejoicing in the colours and images in motion. Soundtrack selections, ranging from light classical to wordless vocalization to a Beatles instrumental, helped to further animate the show.
The exhibition was presented in themes, such as landscapes, portraits, still lifes, or flowers on a loop that lasted for about half an hour. Some images were projected onto frames while others flowed across the many surfaces, sometimes simultaneously.
Minimal animation on static images was used effectively. Portraits blinked, crows flew over the wheat fields, windmills turned, and reflections in the water shimmered. My favourite sequence featured three or more overlapping layers of flowers cascading over the walls and floors, not only covering but enveloping me. The audience loved sequences displaying "starry night" images.
The exhibition was created in Montreal by Normal Studio using state-of-the-art projection technology. It premiered in Miami on April 15 and has travelled to several U.S. cities. The exhibition is appearing simultaneously in other U.S. cities as well as in Calgary, and will appear in more locations later in the summer.
If you are interested in an intense and illuminating experience that allows you to "become part of the art" you may like this exhibit. Measures have been taken to ensure safety during COVID-19.
Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, presented by RBC, runs until Sept. 16 at the Aberdeen Pavilion, seven days a week. For more information and to purchase tickets, check out their website.

Brandzooka Appoints Mark IV Capital's Michael Beaudoin To Board Of Directors
BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Brandzooka, the leading self-service programmatic platform democratizing the digital advertising landscape for brands and agencies, has appointed Michael S. Beaudoin II to its board of directors. Beaudoin is the Director of Private Equities at Mark IV Capital, which recently led Brandzooka's $5.6 million Series A round of fundraising.
Beaudoin and his colleagues recognized that Brandzooka's model of giving small and midsize agencies and in-house marketing teams access to powerful digital advertising technology was a huge opportunity. Brandzooka makes it possible for companies of any size to place targeted ads on primetime TV and premium digital properties worldwide for as little as $5.
Mark IV was also struck by Brandzooka's explosive growth in 2020. The company's monthly recurring revenue has increased five-fold since the beginning of the year.
Beaudoin directs and manages Mark IV Capital's investments in private equities, including venture capital rounds, and is focused on Series A and Series B. Specifically, he's been focused on technology companies that measurably improve productivity for business and government customers. Prior to joining Mark IV, Beaudoin participated in AT&T's Leadership Development Program, where he rotated through various management positions across the company and started the AT&T Aspire Accelerator.
"Our team is looking to invest in platforms that empower a new generation of companies, and we found Brandzooka's story to be compelling right away. Led by CEO Kelly Dotseth, the team is fantastic, and we're confident that they'll continue to execute at the highest level," Beaudoin said. "It's also clear that the pandemic has accelerated the shift to consumption of OTT media, making it essential for small and midsize agencies and brands of any size to leverage video-advertising technology in order to reach their customers in a cost-effective manner. Brandzooka is well-positioned to reach a broad range of targeted customers and help brands and/or agencies improve the ROI of digital campaigns by providing easy-to-use tools."
"We started the company to empower people and teams who haven't historically had access to the digital media table," said Alex Bogusky, an investor in and cofounder of Brandzooka. "At a time of economic upheaval, Brandzooka's growth is accelerating, fueled in no small part by people who've decided to dust off their marketing degrees and start an ad agency instead of driving an Uber."
Beaudoin joins Dotseth, Bogusky and Adam Edelman (who contributed to the Series A through his fund, Boulder Heavy Industries) to round out Brandzooka's Board of Directors. The $5.6 million Series A round led by Mark IV Capital brought the company's total funding to $10.1 million since it was founded in 2015.
About Brandzooka
Brandzooka believes in a world where the size of your idea matters more than the size of your budget. We place the power of digital advertising into the hands of any company or agency with any size marketing budget. Our advertising platform makes it easy and cost-effective for anyone to execute highly targeted video and digital advertising campaigns across the biggest sites online and on TV. We democratize online and connected digital advertising by giving users large and small the same access and reach formerly available only to giant advertisers—reaching every channel and every network.

An increasing number of epidemiologic studies of rare diseases are being conducted as collaborative ventures among several institutions in different geographic areas. Geographic area must be accounted for in the analysis, along with age and other potential confounders. This paper shows that it may not be possible to accurately predict the distribution of persons with rare diseases by age and geographic area. Therefore, selecting controls by matching on age group and geographic area is more efficient than selecting controls in all age and geographic area strata based on prior estimates of expected numbers of cases.

3349861911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 3 — Barbary Pirates
BARBARY PIRATES. The coast population of northern Africa has in past ages been addicted to piratical attacks on the shores of Europe opposite. Throughout the decline of the Roman empire, the barbarian invasions, the Mahommedan conquest and the middle ages, mere piracy always existed by the side of the great strife of peoples and religions. In the course of the 14th century, when the native Berber dynasties were in decadence, piracy became particularly flagrant. The town of Bougie was then the most notorious haunt of these "skimmers of the sea." But the savage robber powers which, to the disgrace of Europe, infested the commerce and the coasts, not only of the Mediterranean but even for a time of the ocean; who were not finally suppressed till the 19th century was well advanced; and who are properly known as the Barbary pirates, arose in the 16th century, attained their greatest height in the 17th, declined gradually throughout the 18th and were extinguished about 1830. Isolated cases of piracy have occurred on the Rif coast of Morocco even in our time, but the pirate communities which lived by plunder and could live by no other resource, vanished with the French conquest of Algiers in 1830. They are intimately connected with the general history of northern Africa from about 1492 to their end. The story of the establishment of Turkish rule in northern Africa and of the revolutions of Morocco must be sought under the heads of Turkey, Tripoli, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
In dealing with the pirates, it will be sufficient to note a few leading dates. The conquest of Granada in 1492 by the Catholic sovereigns of Spain drove many Moors into exile. They revenged themselves by piratical attacks on the Spanish coast. They had the help of Moslem adventurers from the Levant, of whom the most successful were Arouj and his brother Khair-ed-Din, natives of Mitylene, both of whom were known to the Christians by the nickname of Barbarossa (q.v.) or "Redbeard." Spain in self-defence began to conquer the coast towns of Oran, Algiers and Tunis. Arouj having fallen in battle with the Spaniards in 1518, his brother Khair-ed-Din appealed to Selim, the sultan of Turkey, who sent him troops. He drove the Spaniards in 1529 from the rocky island in front of Algiers, where they had a fort, and was the founder of the Turkish power. From about 1518 till the death of Uluch Ali in 1587, Algiers was the main seat of government of the beylerbeys of northern Africa, who ruled over Tripoli, Tunisia and Algeria. From 1587 till 1659, they were ruled by Turkish pashas, sent from Constantinople to govern for three years; but in the latter year a military revolt in Algiers reduced the pashas to nonentities. From 1659 onwards, these African cities, though nominally forming parts of the Turkish empire, were in fact anarchical military republics which chose their own rulers and lived by plunder.
It may be pointed out that during the first period (1518–1587) the beylerbeys were admirals of the sultan, commanding great fleets and conducting serious operations of war for political ends. They were slave-hunters and their methods were ferocious, but their Christian enemies were neither more humane nor more chivalrous. After 1587, plunder became the sole object of their successors—plunder of the native tribes on land and of all who went upon the sea. The maritime side of this long-lived brigandage was conducted by the captains, or reises, who formed a class or even a corporation. Cruisers were fitted out by capitalists and commanded by the reises. Ten per cent of the value of the prizes was paid to the treasury of the pasha or his successors, who bore the titles of Agha or Dey or Bey. Bougie was the chief shipbuilding port and the timber was mainly drawn from the country behind it. Until the 17th century the pirates used galleys, but a Flemish renegade of the name of Simon Danser taught them the advantage of using sailing ships. In this century, indeed, the main strength of the pirates was supplied by renegades from all parts of Christendom. An English gentleman of the distinguished Buckinghamshire family of Verney was for a time among them at Algiers. This port was so much the most formidable that the name of Algerine came to be used as synonymous with Barbary pirate, but the same trade was carried on, though with less energy, from Tripoli and Tunis—as also from towns in the empire of Morocco, of which the most notorious was Salli. The introduction of sailing ships gave increased scope to the activity of the pirates. While the galleys, being unfit for the high seas, were confined to the Mediterranean and the coast, the sailing vessels ranged into the Atlantic as far as the Canaries or even to Iceland. In 1631 a Flemish renegade, known as Murad Reis, sacked Baltimore in Ireland, and carried away a number of captives who were seen in the slave-market of Algiers by the French historian Pierre Dan.
The first half of the 17th century may be described as the flowering time of the Barbary pirates. More than 20,000 captives were said to be imprisoned in Algiers alone. The rich were allowed to redeem themselves, but the poor were condemned to slavery. Their masters would not in many cases allow them to secure freedom by professing Mahommedanism. A long list might be given of people of good social position, not only Italians or Spaniards, but German or English travellers in the south, who were captives for a time. The chief sufferers were the inhabitants of the coasts of Sicily, Naples and Spain. But all traders belonging to nations which did not pay blackmail in order to secure immunity were liable to be taken at sea. The payment of blackmail, disguised as presents or ransoms, did not always secure safety with these faithless barbarians. The most powerful states in Europe condescended to make payments to them and to tolerate their insults. Religious orders—the Redemptionists and Lazarites—were engaged in working for the redemption of captives and large legacies were left for that purpose in many countries. The continued existence of this African piracy was indeed a disgrace to Europe, for it was due to the jealousies of the powers themselves. France encouraged them during her rivalry with Spain; and when she had no further need of them they were supported against her by Great Britain and Holland. In the 18th century British public men were not ashamed to say that Barbary piracy was a useful check on the competition of the weaker Mediterranean nations in the carrying trade. When Lord Exmouth sailed to coerce Algiers in 1816, he expressed doubts in a private letter whether the suppression of piracy would be acceptable to the trading community. Every power was, indeed, desirous to secure immunity for itself and more or less ready to compel Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, Salli and the rest to respect its trade and its subjects. In 1655 the British admiral, Robert Blake, was sent to teach them a lesson, and he gave the Tunisians a severe beating. A long series of expeditions was undertaken by the British fleet during the reign of Charles II., sometimes single-handed, sometimes in combination with the Dutch. In 1682 and 1683 the French bombarded Algiers. On the second occasion the Algerines blew the French consul from a gun during the action. An extensive list of such punitive expeditions could be made out, down to the American operations of 1801–5 and 1815. But in no case was the attack pushed home, and it rarely happened that the aggrieved Christian state refused in the end to make a money payment in order to secure peace. The frequent wars among them gave the pirates numerous opportunities of breaking their engagements, of which they never failed to take advantage.
After the general pacification of 1815, the suppression of African piracy was universally felt to be a necessity. The insolence of a Tunisian squadron which sacked Palma in the island of Sardinia and carried off 158 of its inhabitants, roused widespread indignation. Other influences were at work to bring about their extinction. Great Britain had acquired Malta and the Ionian Islands and had now many Mediterranean subjects. She was also engaged in pressing the other European powers to join with her in the suppression of the slave trade which the Barbary states practised on a large scale and at the expense of Europe. The suppression of the trade was one of the objects of the congress of Vienna. Great Britain was called on to act for Europe, and in 1816 Lord Exmouth was sent to obtain treaties from Tunis and Algiers. His first visit produced diplomatic documents and promises and he sailed for England. While he was negotiating, a number of British subjects had been brutally ill-treated at Bona, without his knowledge. The British government sent him back to secure reparation, and on the 27th of August, in combination with a Dutch squadron under Admiral Van de Capellen, he administered a smashing bombardment to Algiers. The lesson terrified the pirates both of that city and of Tunis into giving up over 3000 prisoners and making fresh promises. But they were not reformed and were not capable of reformation. Algiers renewed its piracies and slave-taking, though on a smaller scale, and the measures to be taken with it were discussed at the conference or congress of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1818. In 1824 another British fleet under Admiral Sir Harry Neal had again to bombard Algiers. The great pirate city was not in fact thoroughly tamed till its conquest by France in 1830.
Authorities.—The Histoire d'Alger of H. D. de Grammont (Paris, 1887) is based on original authorities. Sir R. L. Playfair's Scourge of Christendom (London, 1884) gives the history of the British consulate in Algiers. The main authorities for the early history of the Barbary states are:—Luis del Marmol Carvajal, Descripcion de Africa (Granada, 1573); Diego de Haedo, Topographia e Historia General de Argel (Valladolid, 1612); and Père Pierre Dan, Histoire de Barbarie et de ses corsaires (Paris, 1637). The readable treatises of Ad. Jurien de la Gravière, all published in Paris, Doria et Barberousse (1886), Les Corsaires barbaresques (1887), Les Chevaliers de Malte (1887), and La Guerre de Chypre (1888), deal with the epoch of the beylerbeys and the regular wars.

In this dissertation, I revisit two problems in empirical asset pricing.
In Chapter 1, I propose a methodology to evaluate the validity of linear asset pricing factor models under short sale restrictions using a regression-based test.
The test is based on the revised null hypothesis that intercepts obtained from regressing excess returns of test assets on factor returns, usually referred to as alphas, are non-positive.
I show that under short sale restrictions a much larger set of models is supported by the data than without restrictions.
In particular, the Fama-French five-factor model augmented with the momentum factor is rejected less often than other models.
In Chapter 2, I investigate patterns of equity premium predictability in international capital markets and explore the robustness of common predictive variables.
In particular, I focus on predictive regressions with multiple predictors: dividend-price ratio, four interest rate variables, and inflation.
To obtain precise estimates, two estimation methods are employed.
First, I consider all capital markets jointly as a system of regressions.
Second, I take into account uncertainty about which potential predictors forecast excess returns by employing spike-and-slab prior.
My results suggest evidence in favor of predictability is weak both in- and out-of-sample and limited to a few countries.
The strong predictability observed on the U.S. market is rather exceptional.
In addition, my analysis shows that considering model uncertainty is essential as it leads to a statistically significant increase of investors' welfare both in- and out-of-sample.
On the other hand, the welfare increase associated with considering capital markets jointly is relatively modest.
However, it leads to reconsider the relative importance of predictive variables because the variables that are statistically significant predictors in the country-specific regressions are insignificant when the capital markets are studied jointly.
In particular, my results suggest that the in-sample evidence in favor of the interest rate variables, that are believed to be among the most robust predictors by the literature, is spurious and is mostly driven by ignoring the cross-country information.
Conversely, the dividend-price ratio emerges as the only robust predictor of future stock returns.

How to Add a Simple Facebook "Share" Button.
Here is my share button for "The High Road - AoS." This is really simple but it works and it will be helpful for those who want to promote their own work on facebook. Sure anyone can C&P a url into facebook, but this encourages others to do it. The only short-coming of bb code is that it will not keep track of how many "shares" you have.
Copy the code above then simply replace my url- http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/high-road-aos-238438/ with the url of the map or your resource you want to share.
There you have it! Feel free to share away!
Nice Tutorial, useful for some projects that want more promotion.
That was my goal. I know a lot of people won't want to use it but for those who do and never thought it was possible, they will be really happy to see this.
I don't see me using this but it is pretty cool and an easy simple tutorial.
Alrighty, looks like it could be useful for some forum-goers.


My husband and I were so pleased with our ceremony! They always got back to us very quickly with any questions we had. They set up everything so beautifully.

Planning a wedding from NY in FL was overwhelming. I was referred from another raving fan of this family. Gail had communicated from day 1, giving simple and elegant options. Each time I saw a new wedding post I kept adding wants, and with a quick yes to every request made it so easy. She provided support from color matching to weather fears. The team was present and information, my family said all went smoothly while they awaited:) She is very soft spoken, just remind her to speak louder during the ceremony. The family is a blessing and the process is easy. Just show up. I couldn't have asked for anything more this day, except to do it over and over again.

He made sure that everything was perfect when I arrived. Thank you so much Gayle and Joe!
Gayle and Joe made everything simple, beautiful, and worry free. They encourage you to see a wedding, and we saw one being set up. They explained they really try to get the best view, especially for afternoon weddings. Our wedding was in the morning on 07/07/2018, so not too many umbrellas in the back drop. Gayle is very responsive, and walked me through the day, and we did not even need a rehearsal. They make this look easy. Weddings on a Whim is easy to work with, we highly recommend!

Gayle and Joe were amazing from day one! Every question or concern we had was answered and they helped us through everything.

You can extend your swimming season into the cooler months by installing a good quality pool heater. As with all-power consuming gadgets, the heater can quickly become a drain on your budget if not handled appropriately. The major consideration in effectively utilizing the pool heater is how often you make use of the swimming pool.
Having the appropriate size of a heater, heats the swimming pool in the quickest time and decreases damage on the gadget. The surface area of the swimming pool and the required heat rise decide the needed BTU – or the sum of power output – from the pool heater. For instance, a medium sized, 500-square-foot swimming pool that requires a standard temperature climb of fifteen degrees Fahrenheit needs, a 105,000 BTU heater.
If the swimming pool isn't going to be utilized for many days or more, it's more efficient to allow it to cool down and then start heating it the day prior to you wish to utilize it. Generally, it takes about twenty-four hours to raise a swimming pool to the required heat, but this estimate differs with the initial water temperature. If the swimming pool is in regular use, or if you wish to use it impulsively, it should be kept the pool heated continuously, which raises the expenditure. Keeping a solar cover on the swimming pool between uses lessens the heat loss and can significantly lower the cost of heating the pool.
The type of heater influences its effectiveness. Many California counties need a low NOx" ignition burner in pool heaters due to its greater effectiveness. Induced draft heaters are also effective, as they draw air into the heater offering a hotter ignition. Millivolt heaters employ a constant navigator light that burns out gas whether the heater in use or not.
Not making use of the heater just when the water dips below an acceptable temperature, keeps the power usage down. A swimming pool that is seventy-eight degrees or higher temperature is comfortable for most people. If you're thinking about saving cash or power, run your pool heater only when the water temperature falls below seventy-eight degrees. If the water is adequately tepid, the air temperature will be less significant. Outside temperatures in the 50s, and even 40s, can be tolerated if the heater is keeping the swimming-pool water tepid.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's state-run news agency says a prosecutor has concluded that a network led by a U.S.-based Muslim cleric is behind the 2016 killing of Russia's ambassador to Turkey and is seeking prison terms for the preacher and 27 others.
Anadolu Agency said Friday that the prosecutor's indictment accuses Fethullah Gulen and others of terror charges.
An off-duty police officer fatally shot Ambassador Andrei Karlov at a photo exhibition in Ankara on Dec. 19, 2016. The officer was later shot dead at the scene by police.
The prosecutor maintains that Gulen's movement — which is also accused of masterminding the failed coup in 2016 — aimed to derail relations between Turkey and Russia.
A court must accept the indictment before a trial date is set.
Gulen denies involvement in the coup.
