Марина Арсенијевић (Београд, 1970) америчк-српска је пијанисткиња и композиторка. Позната је по свирању на провидном клавиру, снимању популарних албума у својој родној земљи и извођењу у телевизијској емисији ПБС са својим оригиналним композицијама.

Биографија
Марина Арсенијевић је рођена у Београду 1970. године. Почела је да свира клавир у својој четвртој години, а са девет година је наступала пред публиком од 2.000 људи. Почела је студије високог образовања рано, када је имала само петнаест година, а касније је магистрирала на Универзитету уметности у Београду.

Арсенијевић је компоновала и наступала у класичном крос-овер стилу, миксајући и трансформирајући жанрове. Она је описана као "јединствена за уши, али позната души", и њене композиције су комбинација етно ритма са класичним техникама. Снимила је "-{Ethno Classic & Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart}-" 1997. године и "Mother Tongue" 1999. године, оба албума су произведена у Србији. У Сједињеним Државама је 2002. издала "-{My Balkan Soul}-" као и "-{R|Chopin: Waltzes}-" 2004. године, "-{Fire & Soul}-" 2007. године и "-{Marina at West Point}-" 2010. године.

Период до 1999. (Југославија)

Као концертни извођач у Србији деведесетих, Марина Арсенијевић је освојила неколико међународних клавирских такмичења у Италији и бившој Југославији. Такође је постала позната по свирању на свом провидном клавиру од плексигласа, који је направила немачка компанија Шимел. Њени мировни концерти који су се супротстављали сукобима на Косову узнемирили су неке владине званичнике и стога јој је било забрањено да се појављује на телевизији. Она је уместо тога наступала у тржним центрима, хотелима и концертним халама. Године 1999, последњег дана бомбардовања, Марина је представила своју нову композицију "Косово" у Народном музеју у Београду. Док је свирала дубоко испреплетане хришћанске и муслиманске мелодије "Косова" са сузама по лицу, приметила је и да је публика почела да плаче, јер су сви у концертној дворани схватили да Југославија, као удружена мултикултурална нација, више не постоји. Сутрадан је Марина саветована да одмах напусти земљу ради своје сигурности. Била је одведена у америчку амбасаду у Будимпешти, где је посебним конгресним уговором успела да уђе у Сједињене Државе као уметник изузетних способности. После свргавања екстремиста, Марину је новооснована влада позвала да се врати у Србију на европску концертну турнеју, а преко 300.000 обожавалаца дошло је да чује музику која је помирила нацију претходно захваћену мржњом и насиљем. Након трагедије 11. септембра, Марина је осетила обавезу да се врати у Сједињене Државе да изведе серију добротворних концерата за жртве и њихове породице у Пенсилванији и Мериленду и да се захвали америчком народу за њихову великодушност у давању азила у Сједињеним Државама избеглицама из мешовитих српско-муслиманских бракова који су прогнани из Босне.

Период од 2000. (САД)
Арсенијевић је наставила своју музичку каријеру у Сједињеним Државама, наступајући у Карнеги Холу 2003. и 2004. године. Програм "-{Marina in America}-" састојао се од класичне крос-овер музике упарене са мултимедијалном представом. Исте године, она је наступала у Белој кући за ручак Прве даме са бившом првом дамом Лором Буш и Шери Блер, супругом бившег премијера Уједињеног Краљевства. Марина Арсенијевић је наступала у опери Шеридан у Телјурајду, Колорадо за астронаута Нила Армстронга, у част Фондације Само за децу. Године 2004. одржала је концерт у Форумском аудиторијуму у Харисбургу, Пенсилванија. Такође је наступала у Чикашком симфонијском центру, Чикашком морнаричком доку и Уметничком центру у Торонту. Критичари описују њене композиције као "невероватно оригиналне" и "задивљујуће за душу".

Од 2008. године, Марина Арсенијевић наступа са светски познатим оркестром Војне академије Вест Поинт и Вест Поинт кадетским клубом. Комад "-{Marina at West Point}-: Јединство кроз различитости" креирали су и извели Марина и удружени ансамбли Вест Поинт оркестра и Вест Поинт кадетског клуба од 120 чланова. Концерт је снимљен уживо у историјској дворани Ајзенхауер у Вест Поинту и наставиће се емитовати широм земље током 2019. Овај комад покрива широки репертоар који чине Лист, Шопен, као и Боемска рапсодија групе Квин. Укључене су и њене оригиналне композиције, преплићући муслиманске и хришћанске мелодије инспирисане српским и балканским ритмовима. ТВ емисија је добила номинацију за Еми и емитована је на ПБС ТВ станици, са око 180 милиона гледалаца од 2009. године, чинећи је једним од најдужих концертних програма дистрибуираних на америчкој јавној телевизији. Пратећи албум објављен је 2009. године, чији је продуцент био добитник награде Греми Грегори К. Сквајерс, а аранжман је урадио вишеструки добитник Еми награде Ед Грин.

Током 2013. године, Марину Арсенијевић је интервјуисао Еј-Би-Си њуз канал о њеном заједничком добротворном концерту са Мичигенском филхармонијом под називом Клавирске авантуре, који је укључивао класичну музику која се чула у телевизијским рекламама. Следеће године компоновала је музику за документарац "Кула људима", а такође је наступала на премијери филма на Менхетну. Марина се вратила у Вест Поинт за концерт на Празник рада 2014. године, изводећи своју оригиналну композицију Балканска свита ("-{"Balkan Suite"}-"). Марина је изабрана да отвори церемонију додељивања Међународне награде за књижевни мир у Дејтону, Охајо 2015. године, која је такође била 20. годишњица историјског Дејтонског мировног споразума који је завршио најкрвавији сукоб у Европи од Другог светског рата. Током 2017. Марина Арсенијевић отворила је комеморативни програм у Вест Поинту на којем се обележавала 72. годишњица ослобођења Аушвица са својим аранжманом -{America the Beautiful}- у комбинацији са Шопеновом Револуционарном Етудом. Предстојећи пројекти укључују композицију музике за игру Бродвеја о животу Милеве Марић Ајнштајн, надарене математичарке и супруге Алберта Ајнштајна, чији се занемарени доприноси сада сматрају интегралним за стварање Теорије релативности. Марина такође компонује музику за позоришну, филмску и концертну сцену у знак обожавања живота њеног сународника, познатог научника Николе Тесле.

Марина Арсенијевић је изјавила да "музика има моћ да комуницира без речи, разбија границе и спаја људе, у добру и злу, а такав утицај треба користити у дипломатији".

Награде и признања
Године 2010, Марина Арсенијевић је номинована за награду Еми за своје музичке композиције које је извела у ПБС емисији "-{R|Marina at West Point: Unity through Diversity}-". Академија Светог Срца у Мичигену дала јој је награду "Лидери савести" 2011. године, а 2014. године је добила Медаљу части острва Елис, која се додељује имигрантима који живе у Сједињеним Државама. Била је похваљена за стварање "мешавине различитих етничких мелодија и ритмова".
Током 2018. Марина је награђена од стране заменика премијера и министра иностраних послова Ивице Дачића Орденом Витеза Светосавског пацифизма, на церемонији одавања почасти онима који су заслужили високо дипломатско признање, за њен рад у промовисању српске културе и традиције кроз њену мисију "Јединственост кроз разноликост".

Even though hunters under 16 are not required to have a hunting or fishing license in Arkansas, they will need this customer identification number to check game and apply for permit hunts.
Hunting: If you are 16 or older, an Arkansas hunting license is required to hunt wildlife unless you are on a licensed game-bird shooting resort that supplies pen-raised birds.
The rules are simple. Anyone aged 6 to 15 can hunt. He or she can take either a buck or a doe, and no antler restrictions on bucks are in effect. Each youngster must be accompanied by an adult mentor, not necessarily a parent.

HUNTING ON PUBLIC OR PRIVATE LAND
Almost 90% of the land in Arkansas is privately owned. Hunters can typically freely take game animals hunted on their own private property or may seek permission from a landowner to hunt on private property.
According to the AGFC's Code of Regulations, anyone who has passed hunter education may legally hunt by themselves, regardless of age. … Visit www.agfc.com/huntered for more information on Hunter Education in Arkansas.
You may not hunt until you are 12 years old.
To hunt with a firearm, hunters under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, a legal guardian or a person 18 years of age or older who has the written permission of the parent or legal guardian.
Seven states — Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Vermont and Washington — set no minimum age for solo hunting. In Texas, kids can hunt alone when they are 9. In Alaska, Louisiana and Tennessee, the minimum age for unsupervised hunting is 10, in Missouri it's 11, and in nine other states it's 12.
IT IS INTERESTING: Are more deer killed by cars or hunters?
Hunters who are 14 years of age or older are permitted to hunt unsupervised in Minnesota. They must obtain hunter education certification (firearms safety training), and must also possess the appropriate license for the game animal being hunted.
AGE AND SUPERVISION REQUIREMENTS
Hunters who are 14 years of age or older are permitted to hunt alone as long as they have obtained hunter education certification.

Jennifer Eifrig, Author
Interview With Deb E Howell
I have another installment in my author interview series to post today: say hi to Deb E Howell, author of The Healer's Touch (Kristell Ink Publishing, 2013). Deb E is a wonderful combination of science geek and fangirl, and has an inspiring sense of humor. I encourage you to check out her blog, like her on Facebook, follow her on Twitter, and of course, to buy her book.
Now, on to the interview!
I like the premise of your book: someone who can heal herself, but only at the expense of others. It takes the usual notion of a positive ability and makes it much darker. How did you come up with the idea?
I honestly can't remember. I developed a character with this power (the giving and taking) some 15-16 years ago. I was at High School at the time, so I would have been watching a lot of super hero cartoons, which no doubt played a part. Because I was a teenage girl, of course my character back then was a strapping young man. Llew will never forgive me for sticking her with it...
Deb E's childhood nights were spent falling asleep to cover versions of Cliff Richard and the Shadows and other Rock 'n Roll classics played by her father's band, and days were spent dancing to 45 LPs. Many of her first writing experiences were copying down song lyrics. She graduated to scientific reports when she studied a nematophagus fungus in the Zoology department of the University of Otago, trading all traces of popularity for usefulness… then traded both for fiction.
This interview is part of the Bandit Book Bloggers book tour series
Interview with Morgan L. Busse
Great news on the interview front for my speculative fiction fans out there: I'm happy to present Morgan Busse, whose novel Daughter of Light (Marcher Lord Press, 2012) has come in for some good reviews - well, make that GREAT reviews, since it currently has a five-star rating on Amazon! Like everyone I've had the privilege to interview, Morgan is a lovely person as well as a talented writer, and as she herself points out, writers are really people, too, you know.
Morgan invites you to spend some time on her web site/blog, getting to know her a bit better. There's lots to explore, and of course she'd love you to buy her book. Read on for more!
Morgan L. Busse writes speculative fiction for the adult market. She is the author of Daughter of Light, the first in a series from Marcher Lord Press. Morgan lives in the Midwest with her husband and four children. You can find about more about Morgan at www.morganlbusse.com
Interview with Yvonne Anderson
Well, this is fun! This week I'm posting my interview with Yvonne Anderson, whose sci fi Gateway to Gannah series is available from Risen Books. Her first novel, Story in the Stars, was a finalist for the ACFW's (American Christian Fiction Writers) Carol Awards. Pretty good stuff. The next book in the series, Words in the Wind, is out now, and the third and fourth are in production. So if you like what you're reading about, you'll have a lot more to look forward to!
Yvonne, like me, is a "late entry" into the fiction-writing world, having pursued other vocations prior to starting her writing career. It just goes to show that writers may come from all over, but always from within.
You can connect with Yvonne at her web site, or follow her blogs at Novel Rocket and Speculative Faith. Of course, she'd love you to purchase her novels, or ask for them at your local library. Read on to hear what she has to say about her work and herself!
Yvonne Anderson, creator of the Gateway to Gannah space fantasy series, is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), The Lost Genre Guild, Independent Author Network, and International Thriller Writers, and serves as contest administrator for the Novel Rocket blog, named four times to Writer's Digest's list of the 101 Best Websites for Writers. She lives in rural Ohio but spends most of her time on the planet Gannah, researching her books.
Interview with Paul Freeman
I have to say, I'm really enjoying this interview gig. I feel as though I'm making friends all over the place. It's a little like being a rock star. Well, a very little, but still, it's fun.
My interview this week is with fellow Cogwheel Press author Paul Freeman, whose epic fantasy Tribesman was released in November 2012. If you like sword-and-sandals-type stuff, run, don't walk, to pick up either the Kindle or the paperback edition. I finished it in 24 hrs, partly because it's a super-tight piece of work at 80,000 words (more on that later), and partly because it's so engaging (and horrifying). Paul is a fun and funny fellow who has other literary irons in many fires, ranging from urban fantasy to steampunk to horror to literary fiction. He's a contributor to the steampunk compilation Strange Tales From the Scriptorian Vaults, and has a horror collaboration coming out in spring 2013. On some level, I know I ought to feel challenged by his prowess, but mostly I find it inspiring.
Paul's a friendly sort; you can get to know him better by reading his blog, following him on Facebook, Goodreads, Amazon, & Twitter, and of course by buying his books. Read on to learn more!
Paul Freeman is from Dublin, Ireland, where he works, plays and writes. In the past he has lived in Germany and America but is now content to keep his roaming to the worlds he creates and writes about.
Tribesman is his first published novel. He has also published a short story in the steampunk anthology, Strange Tales From the Scriptorium Vaults. A horror book, Season of the Dead, written with three other writers will be published by Spore Press in spring 2013.
He is currently working on book 2 in the Tribesman series.
Interview with Cindy Koepp
Happy new year, dear readers! Once again, I've had the true pleasure of interviewing a fellow spec fic author, Cindy Koepp, whose sci fi novel Remnant in the Stars was released last July by Under the Moon Publishing. She also has a book of math puzzles for middle-grade students called Crunchy Word Problems and Other Brain Challenges, and writes a free serial fantasy novel called Condemned Courier on Jukepopserials.com. Cindy's one of those people that challenge my geek credentials big time, and it was a lot of fun to learn about her, her writing, and her plans for world domination - just kidding. I think. ;)
You can visit Cindy's web site, read her blog and serial, and buy Remnant In the Stars and Crunchy Word Problems by following the links. And of course, read on for more!
Cindy Koepp lives in Texas with her parrot and spends nine months of the year mutating the minds of children. In addition to a teaching certificate from the University of Texas at Austin, she has a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M University. In her time away from school, she does needlework, experiments with recipes, and works on her writing.
Interview with H.G. Ferguson
A native of Southeast Alabama now at home in Phoenix, Arizona, H.G. Ferguson has always loved the strange, the unnerving, the unusual -- in short, looking at things, particularly monsters, outside the box. Since the whopping age of six he has known Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and seeks above all things to honor Him and present the Truth -- even Truth shrouded in shadows, like a candle flickering in a mortuary window. He wrote New Blood to return horror to its Christian roots and worldview and to demonstrate God's unconditional love for Thirsty and longsuffering Rebecca, who may not be the chief of sinners but is certainly the most unique.
Happy holidays, gentle readers! It's time for the next installment in my author interview series, this one with H.G. Ferugson, who wrote New Blood (OtherSheep Books from Written Word Communications). Harold is an enthusiastic debut author with a background in history. He also happens to combine two abiding professional and literary interests of mine: colonial America and vampires. Oh, and in case I forgot to mention, he writes from a Christian worldview. Fun stuff!
You can learn more about Harold on his publisher's author page, watch his trailer, and of course, buy his book on Amazon and B&N. Read on for more fascinating explanation of a fascinating writer!
An Interview with Laura Popp
Next up in author interviews is YA science fiction/fantasy author Laura Popp, whose novel Treasure Traitor was released in November 2012 by Starsongs. Congratulations on the debut! It was a hard-fought fight to win publication for this book, as Laura explains, since it crosses markets and pushes boundaries.
The whole interview process has been great for me as a writer, because it's allowed me to explore other genres and get a better feel for them. Part of the fun also has been getting to know great people like Laura, who has lived just about everywhere and done just about everything, despite having not reached her 30th birthday.
Laura Popp's novels, short stories, and plays have won numerous local and international awards in the fields of children's literature and science fiction. In her "normal" life, she has been a model, film maker, teacher, world traveler, and missionary to Japan; India; Malawi, Africa and the U.S. She currently lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
You can connect with Laura on her blog, and of course buy her book. Read on for the full interview!
Check Out My Guest Blog Post!
The lovely ladies over at Castles & Guns graciously invited me to contribute a guest post to their blog, and I was delighted to comply. Guest posts are a boon to both the guest and the owner of a blog - the owner gets new content from a fresh voice, and the guest gets to connect with a new audience. A win for everyone.
Later this week I'll post my interview with Laura Popp, whose book Treasure Traitor was released on November 8. Congratulations, Laura!
Did any of you attend the World Fantasy Convention in Toronto earlier this month? One of the conference themes this year was urban fantasy. I'd love to hear how it went.
Lastly, for all of you who were affected by Hurricane Sandy, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. My family and I were lucky - we never lost power, and were able to offer hot showers and coffee to those who did. The damage in Connecticut, while severe in several places, did not reach the level of devastation in New Jersey and parts of New York. I know you folks down there are still suffering, but I also know you're resilient people, and, with the help and caring of others, you'll rebound. Peace!
Interview with Mark Roman
For your reading pleasure, here's another author interview, this one with Mark Roman, who wrote The Ultimate Inferior Beings, out with Cogwheel Press. I'm venturing outside my accustomed fantasy realm for this one, as TUIB is sci fi humor (or humour, as Mr. Roman is thoroughly British). By day he's a science guy; writing is his moonlighting career, but you'd never know it from his crisp, dry prose that still manages to make you giggle. Kind of like hard cider.
Mark Roman is the pen-name of a bioinformatics scientist who works at a research institute near Cambridge, UK. He lives in London with his wife and two children, aged 9 and 10. He wrote his sci-fi comedy, The Ultimate Inferior Beings, many years ago when he was young and foolish. Now that he is old and foolish he has had it published by Cogwheel Press.
You can find Mark on Facebook pretty much anytime, no matter what your time zone. Read on for the full interview!
Interview With R.L. Copple
I'm delighted to present another interview, this time with spec fic author R.L. Copple. Rick is a multitalented guy, who writes non-fiction, fiction, a bit of poetry, and even dabbles in comics. He's the author of two YA series, one fantasy (available from Splashdown Books - yep, my second Splashdown author), the other sci fi (indie published through Ethereal Press), and is even thinking of writing the back story for a video game. Like my previous guest, Greg Mitchell, he writes from a Christian worldview, although he makes a point to tell us that it's more of a framework than a message. He contributes to a blog called The Lost Genre Guild, which is a home for Christian writers who love the weird and wonderful.
R. L. Copple is a science fiction and fantasy writer. He's written six novels and numerous short stories. While some say he lives in his own fantasy world, in reality he resides in the Texas Hill Country with his wife of 30 years and remaining son of three kids.
You can visit Rick's website, read his blog, friend him on Facebook, and follow him on Twitter. And of course, you can buy his books on Amazon. Now, read on to learn more!

Horse Talk: Kempton Park manager running London Marathon for Racing Welfare
By Simon Jackson
Published: 11:17 AM April 18, 2013 Updated: 6:09 PM December 7, 2020
Kempton Park general manager Phil White will contest the London Marathon on Sunday in a bid to raise funds on behalf of the charity Racing Welfare.
The Newmarket-based charity helps people with illness or disabilities and offers services that include affordable housing and specialist counselling.
White's announcement that he will compete in the marathon for the first time comes after a month in which the risks taken by jockeys have been highlighted.
JT McNamara was left paralysed after a heavy fall at the Cheltenham festival and Grand National-winning rider Ryan Mania was lucky to escape serious injury after a fall the next day that necessitated him being airlifted to hospital.
"Racing Welfare provides essential support to all people who work or have worked in our industry and I am delighted to be able to support such a worthy cause," said White. "I started training in November. However it has been much more difficult than I had anticipated and finding time around work to put the miles in has been a challenge.
"Luckily I've run around the course here at Kempton, which is a lovely four miles and as long as my knee holds up I'm confident I'll finish."
Elsewhere the Punchestown Festival in Ireland, gets under way on Tuesday and First Lieutenant looks a great bet in the Punchestown Gold Cup the following day.

Biiiiiig dogs. And little dogs in baby carriers. I wish this wasn't a thing.
The summer renovation of my local grocer revealed a rather American-style makeover, along with, more importantly, new and exciting discoveries. Sweet potato fries!
Another something new, a Meat-o-Mat at the Gersthof market near our house. Sausage, Schnitzel, and Steaks on demand? Whatever is happening to my adopted country?
For the first time since we've been here it seems Halloween was given noticeable hype; a whopping 14 trick-or-treaters rang our bell (yes, of course we had candy for them). Carved pumpkins popped up everywhere, too!
Clayton Theodore and his BFF, Jolly. Just because.
For the first time, cafe and restaurant owners are no longer required to put away their outdoor seating by 1 November and can decide independently whether to leave tables out all winter. Progressive. Over the weekend Tony and I were pleased to note that our favorite Backhendl place still had their tables out; and on a recent walk through Türkenschanzpark, its traditional restaurant that once served Kaiser Franz Josef even had al fresco seating. Whatever would the Emperor think?
To conclude this episode. Some things may be changing, but some things will always remain the same. The "Handicapped" designation says it all.

Die Raue Deutzie (Deutzia scabra) ist ein dicht verzweigter Strauch mit weißen Blüten aus der Familie der Hortensiengewächse (Hydrangeaceae). Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet der Art liegt in Japan. Sie wird sehr häufig als Zierstrauch gepflanzt.

Beschreibung

Die Raue Deutzie ist ein 2,5 bis 3 Meter hoher, straff aufrechter und dicht verzweigter Strauch mit zimtfarbener und sich in papierartigen Streifen schälender Borke. Die Laubblätter haben einen etwa 5 Millimeter langen Stiel. Die Blattspreite ist einfach, 4 bis 7 Zentimeter lang und 2 bis 3 Zentimeter breit, eiförmig bis länglich, zugespitzt, mit abgerundeter Basis und fein gesägtem Blattrand. Beide Seiten sind stumpf grün und auffallend rau. Die Blattoberseite ist mit drei- bis vierstrahligen Sternhaaren besetzt, die Unterseite mit zehn- bis 15-strahligen Sternhaaren, einige Haare auf den Blattadern haben mehrere längere, aufrechte Härchen.

Die Blütenstände sind 6 bis 12 Zentimeter lange, breit kegelförmige, aufrechte Rispen mit sternhaariger Blütenstandsachse. Die Blüten sind weiß oder außen rosa getönt und 1,5 bis 2 Zentimeter breit. Die Kelchblätter sind dreieckig und kürzer als der Blütenbecher. Die Kronblätter stehen nahezu aufrecht und sind länglich. Es werden zehn Staubblätter gebildet, fünf längere mit etwa 7 Millimetern, die anderen fünf nur 4 Millimeter lang. Es werden meist drei Griffel gebildet.

Die Raue Deutzie blüht von Mai bis Juni.

Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 130.

Vorkommen und Standortansprüche
Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet liegt in Japan im Westen von Honshū, auf Kyushu und Shikoku. Die Raue Deutzie wächst in Strauchflächen und Hecken auf frischen bis feuchten, schwach sauren bis alkalischen, nährstoffreichen Böden an sonnigen bis lichtschattigen, sommerkühlen Standorten. Die Art ist meist frosthart.

Systematik
Die Raue Deutzie (Deutzia scabra) ist eine Art aus der Gattung der Deutzien (Deutzia). Sie wird in der Familie der Hortensiengewächse (Hydrangeaceae) der Unterfamilie Hydrangeoideae und der Tribus Philadelpheae zugeordnet. Die Art wurde 1781 von Carl Peter Thunberg erstmals wissenschaftlich gültig beschrieben. Der Gattungsname Deutzia erinnert an den holländischen Ratsherrn Johan van der Deutz (1790 bis 1858) aus Amsterdam, einen Förderer des schwedischen Naturforschers Carl Peter Thunberg, der die Gattung benannt hat. Das Artepitheton scabra kommt aus dem Lateinischen und bedeutet "rau", "krätzig".

Verwendung
Die Raue Deutzie wird sehr häufig wegen ihrer Blüten als Zierstrauch verwendet. Es werden mehrere Sorten unterschieden darunter
 'Candidissima' mit rein weißen, rosettenartig gefüllten Blüten
 'Codsall Pink' mit zahlreichen 2,5 bis 3 Zentimeter breiten, malvenrosafarbenen, gefüllten Blüten in schmalen, kegelförmigen Rispen
 'Plena' mit 3 Zentimeter breiten, dichtgefüllten, hellrosafarbenen und außen purpurrosafarbenen Blüten
 'Pride of Rochester' mit bis zu 3 Zentimeter breiten, innen weißen und außen schwach rosa gestreiften, dicht gefüllten Blüten mit schmalen Kronblättern

Ooredoo Qatar and Nokia Networks boost network up to 375 Mbps with LTE-A three-band carrier aggregation on the Ooredoo Supernet
In November 2015, the two companies together demonstrated the Middle East's first CAT 11 demonstration, achieving close to 600 Mbps peak throughput
Ooredoo Qatar now commercially launches CAT 9 with speeds of up to 375 Mbps across substantial areas of Doha
Aggregates a total of 50 MHz of spectrum on 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz
Doha, Qatar - 23 December 2015
Ooredoo Qatar and Nokia Networks today announced the launch of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) three-band carrier aggregation technology on the Ooredoo Supernet. Nokia technology enables the operator to provide higher data speeds of up to 375 Mbps to its customers.
The higher speeds are already available in several high-traffic areas of Doha, including West Bay, the Corniche and Katara Cultural Village. With this new technology, people using Category 9 (CAT 9)-capable handsets can benefit from data intensive services, including ultra high-definition video download, and upcoming trends, including virtual reality.
Click to Tweet: News: @OoredooQatar and @nokianetworks bring higher data speeds to the Arabian Peninsula http://nokia.ly/1OHNRpv #NetworksPerform #LTE
Overview of the products and services delivered by Nokia Networks:
LTE-Advanced three-band carrier aggregation (3x CA) technology based on the Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station
Software upgrade to aggregate two 20 MHz carriers in the 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz bands with one additional 10 MHz carrier in the 800 MHz band
Evolved Packet Core to support the high data speeds of up to 375 Mbps
Network implementation and multi-layer optimization services to plan and optimize 3x CA for maximum data throughput
Waleed Al Sayed, Chief Executive Officer, Ooredoo Qatar, said: "We're aiming to further improve the broadband experience for our customers with faster data speeds and an excellent network performance. Nokia Networks is helping us to meet these goals and we look forward to deploying the latest technical achievements as we continue to enhance our world-class network."
Bernard Najm, Vice President and Head of Middle East and Africa, Nokia Networks, said: "We're happy to support Ooredoo Qatar in its mission to provide top-quality services to its customers. After we successfully demonstrated 600 Mbps CAT 11 speeds in October, we have now helped Ooredoo launch the three-band carrier aggregation technology to deliver higher data throughput with superior reliability."
This investment has been designed as part of Ooredoo's ongoing Supernet investment to provide the best possible Internet experience for customers, with higher speeds and superior performance on all 3G, 4G and 4G+ devices.
Ooredoo and Nokia Networks have a long history of working together, and the companies recently announced they will partner to deploy small cells in popular network hotspots across the country to enhance Ooredoo's 3G and 4G network.
In October 2015, Ooredoo, Nokia Networks and NETGEAR collaborated on a first-of-its-kind speed test using LTE-Advanced CAT11 on the Ooredoo Supernet, achieving a peak data rate of 590 Mbps - the first time this speed was reached in tests in Qatar and the whole GCC region. The speed was achieved by aggregating 60MHz of spectrum across three bands and applying 256 QAM higher order modulation, touching a milestone in speed and performance of Ooredoo's network.
This latest upgrade was designed to provide a better customer experience on the Ooredoo network, as well as contribute to the Qatar National Vision's aim to boost the knowledge-based economy, by enabling a host of new customers access to the financial, educational and social services the Internet can provide.
In its journey to provide ultrafast mobile broadband services, Ooredoo Qatar selected Nokia Networks as sole supplier to build its LTE radio and core network in 2013. During the 2014 International Telecom Union (ITU) World Telecom Conference in Doha, Ooredoo Qatar, Nokia Networks and China Mobile showcased record-breaking speeds of 4.1 Gbps over an LTE network. Ooredoo Qatar and Nokia Networks have a shared vision of bringing the latest mobile broadband innovations to residents of Qatar through 5G and beyond.

Scripture says that vengeance is yours, but, to speak freely, I sometimes question the timing of your judgment and your system of justice as a whole because Black people are still experiencing vestigial suffering precipitated by hundreds of years of slavery in addition to the slave codes and Jim Crow laws that proceeded them.
The moral development of young people is at stake.


I love being alone. As a kid, I spent many of my days on solitary adventures. I loved riding my bike, hiking and swimming. As an adult, I'm still consistently out in nature. I create many plein air drawings and paintings on location. I use these studies, gut reactions, as a basis for my larger paintings.
When I'm out in nature, I try to experience the moments fully, using all my senses and emotions. I often work out emotional struggles when I'm alone, out in nature and I try to show these emotional qualities in my work.
Like many, my life is a difficult balancing act. I'm often overwhelmed… I use these solo experiences out in the natural world to recharge. It's my chance to be free from the control of life's stresses. I feel like an independant kid again, forgetting about life for a while... In this series of paintings, I'm attempting to capture these feelings of chosen solitude and reflection.
Many of these paintings are created from experiences out on Prout's Neck in Scarborough, Maine. I hike it on off hours and it is a bit remote. I will often do the entire hike and see no other people. This gives me a chance to really be out there, free thinking, absorbing and reacting to the environment.

Wives I am asking you to give me a chance and listen to God's heart beat in this message. I understand a lot of marriages are lacking communication, connection and closeness. Some of this is due to not understanding the male and female love language, some of this has to due with a lack of understanding of our roles in a biblical marriage and some of it has to do with not recognizing intruders that have entered into the marriage covenant and some of it is due to not taking the time to talk and invest in having a great marriage.
This is such a sensitive subject to talk about because there are no two marriages alike.
I know there are always 2 sides to every story, but 2 wrongs do not make it right either. I am called to women, not men, so wives, I will be talking to you only. I will be encouraging you to play your role even if your husband is not playing his. I know how frustrating and exhausting this can be but you are asking for closeness, connection and to be cherished in your marriage, someone has to be willing to be uncomfortable to make your marriage like God has ordained it and really, God is asking that to be you. God said, your husband can be won over by your conduct. I will share the scripture with you before I end this blog post. I am only talking to Christian women who believes in biblical marriage, trust me, I am not there yet but my aim and my goal is to live a Christ centered marriage and do it God's way and not the worlds way. Like a fish out of water my flesh flip and flop sometimes as well.
Ladies before I get into this topic, my only goal is to partner with God to see the marriage covenant restored and to see wives feeling connected to her own husband.
I am only advocating healthy biblical submissiveness. I am not advocating a husband usurping his authority in a harmful abusive way.
I have an honest heartfelt confession, I am in love with my own husband, I am happy with my husband and I am happy in my marriage, even with that being said, we still need to address things that comes up in our marriage that needs to be discussed. One does not have a great marriage through avoidance, you have to talk about the issues that is on your heart. You can not hide things in your heart and expect to have a good marriage.
I am so grateful to have my husband in my life. God has blessed me with an amazing man. He is not perfect and guess what? Neither am I, but that does not take from the fact that he is amazing! And it is not because he makes me happy all of the time. I have decided that I am going to be happy in my life period. Do I have things that comes up that wants me to lose my joy? Yes I do, and sometimes I have to remind myself, this is not that serious, do not lose your joy over this and it is a constant reminder. I have decided that my happiness is not based in if my husband do everything right to make me happy. That is to much pressure for one person.
I have made many mistakes in my marriage. After 17 years of being married to my husband, I have learned a lot and will be learning until Jesus come back.
So I am setting my fears aside so I can help the wife who will listen. Some of the things I share with you, you probably are not going to agree with, but I can not run any longer about discussing real issues that are happening in marriages today.
If I am going to partner with God to see wives restored in their heart and their marriages, I have to deal with truth as it is shown to me in my heart. This is the take on marriage that God has given me to share.
I will expose the works of darkness as God downloads it in my spirt. I absolutely love the marriage union and I know God loves it as well. As I have listen to God minister to me about marriage, I realized that I had some very wrong distorted views about marriage.
Our husbands are very different from one another and what my husband needs most, your husband my not even care about, so I will admonish you to get to know your own husband, and do not base what your husband do against what someone else's husband does. But what I hope to help you with today is 15 things that every wife can do to win the heart of her own husband.
I can tell when a woman is not satisfied or content in her marriage or with herself, because she is always seeking outside of her marriage and herself for attention and conversation from someone else's husband or to get notice by other men that is not her husband.
She tries to fill up her emptiness with shopping, working, giving all of her attention to her children, volunteering and just plain avoidance. She does not want to deal with the real issues that are going on in her heart and her marriage.
I agree with you, you should not leave this earth unfulfilled in your marriage. That is why you have to do everything with in your power to fight for the connection with your very own spouse, so if God forbids, if it falls apart, it is not because you did not give your all to your marriage.
Wives fight for connection from your own husband, seek attention from the one you chose to marry, any attention outside of that is a counterfeit replacement of the real and true love you could be experiencing from your own spouse.
Now like I said, this blog post is not for every married woman, you might not agree with some of the things that I share with you. This blog post is only for the married women who is NOT dealing with mental and physical abuse, cheating, drugs, alcohol and gambling addiction. If you are dealing with these issue, serious counseling is what you need because you my beautiful sister have to make choices that is going to keep you safe inside and out.
There is not one marriage that is perfect on the earth because there are no two people that are perfect. But marriage can be amazing if you are tuned in to your own marriage and not comparing your marriage to anyone else's and if you can try to love and give your husband lots of grace, forgiveness, compassion and always focusing on his good qualities. I know communication can be hard in a marriage sometimes because in marriage one of you is either the confronter and the other person is usually the one who runs away from confrontation. But then again, you can have two people in a marriage that never confronts the issues that is going on in their marriage, therefore, making it very hard to talk about issues that needs to addressed in marriage.
I want to encourage wives not to shut down because you feel like your are not getting any real results. I want to encourage wives not to throw in the towel and walk away. I want to encourage wives not to grow bitter inside and hold unforgiveness towards their husband because you are feeling unappreciated, unfulfilled, neglected and unloved.
What I am going to encourage you to do is keep talking to your husband until you are heard, keep confronting intruders until they are destroyed, stay in prayer for your husband, your marriage and your family and keep fighting for a amazing marriage.
Make sure that you have done your part to ensure that you have a godly covenant before God and your husband. I do not proclaim to have all the answers, nor am I a marriage counselor. But sometimes it will take you going to a professional counselor to talk through the issue in your marriage. I would recommend a trusted Christian Counselor or Pastor.
I think some wives forgot how to make themselves happy, perhaps you have never been truly happy within yourself, especially if you never been single long enough to enjoy your own company. Some women always needed someone in their life to complete them.
1. Down right disrespect and your husband acting like he does not have a commitment to your marriage by spending quality time with you and investing the time and attention that it takes to have a close healthy godly marriage.
2. You learning to enjoy your own company in the absence of your husband. There should always be sweet fellowship between the two of you, a coming back together to talk about your day and to reconnect emotionally, physically and spiritually. You should never allow anyone who claims to love you and have a covenant with you to get away with living a sloppy married life. Marriage is an investment and you are worth the investment it takes to ensure you have a respectful loving Godly covenant where the both of you are reaping the full benefits of your covenant.
What hurts my heart more than anything is to see a woman in her marriage covenant feeling lonely, helpless, defeated, cheated on, disrespected, afraid to speak up for herself and feeling like she is not valued in her marriage…….
Feeling like she can't take care of her self, feeling trapped, devalued, not beautiful, not beneficial, feeling like she is not an equal partner with her husband and not knowing her covenant rights in her marriage.
I want to warn you against intruders, intruders are things, people and schedules that wants to replace true devotion with your spouse, with false devotions.
Intruders can creep in and still your covenant, your time and your marriage if your are not in tuned with the Holy Spirit.
Intruders never know the value of a godly covenant. They come in disguises, they come in things that seems important.
Intruders also wants you to be intimidated by them and they want you to keep it uncover. Intruders never want you to confront them or call them out on their undercover behavior.
Intruders are working to many long hours, always volunteering to many long hours to a worthy cause, social media, lustful under cover seducing women and men proverbs 9:13-18 has a lot to say about this.
Intruders can come in through always shopping, gambling, people pleasing and addictions of every kind. Intruders comes in being to involved with what the children have going on more than pouring back into your husband.
Intruders comes in through spending long hours in the gym, more than you are spending time at home. Intruders comes in by watching to much sports and reality TV, and spending to much time with your extended family rather than your own husband. The Bible clearly states that we are to leave and cleave.
So we have to keep addressing issues in our marriages that are trying to keep us from investing into our marriage, things that are creeping in and trying to destroy the marriage covenant. We have to keep talking and fighting for our marriage because there are so many things that are calling for our attention and trying to lure us away from our marriages.
I want wives to know that you have a lot of influence in your marriage. You can use that influence for good or you can use that influence to tare down your home and marriage. The bible has a lot to say about the influence of a wife. Down below I listed some.
Adulterous woman does not ponder the path of life; her ways are unstable, she does not know it.
The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and without knowledge.
Proverbs 7:11 She is boisterous and rebellious, her feet do not remain at home; Proverbs 21:19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
Proverbs 12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is like rottenness in his bones.
Proverbs 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Proverbs 27:15,16 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
Proverbs 15:17 ISV A vegetarian meal served with love is better than a big, thick steak with a plateful of animosity.
Proverbs 17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting with strife.
Wives it will never benefit you to give the silent treatment to your husband, nor talking to him unkindly, sarcastic, talking down to him and being disrespectful to your husband. The only results it will yield is to push your husband farther away from you and towards intruders.
Now I do believe there is a time for silence when the conversation is heated and emotions are high, a time out break is needed until you can come back together and talk maturely.
I have been married going on 17 years and I am still learning what works and what do not work for my marriage. I know it takes two people to make the marriage work. It can be very easy to check out on your marriage if you feel like you have been the one during all the work to keep your marriage together.
I want to present to you the biblical way of loving your husband. Wives, you have to take your emotions out of the situations. I do understand God created you as the weaker vessel. I know your feeling can get hurt easily. I know wives try to give their all to keep the connection with their husband but I am going to encourage you to try even harder than you've been trying. Push yourself more than you have ever pushed yourself before.
Yes, I am asking you to set aside all that you think you know and pick up a biblical perspective in loving your husband. I am asking you to set your feeling aside and your emotions aside and fight for the connection with your husband.
I want you to ask yourself could it be me and not him, matter of fact, I want you to do everything in your power to serve him from your heart. Do it to the glory of God and allow God to reward you. If your husband give you praise let it be a bonus on top of the praise that God has already given you. Just tell your husband thank you. It pleases the Lord that you are loving on his son. Do not look to your husband to give you validation, because you will give up if you do not see quick results.
I want you to have a happy attitude while serving your husband, I want you to do it like you would if someone was giving you 5,000 dollars for doing a good job. Guard your heart against complaining.
Serve your husband to the glory of God because this is your first ministry. You are his help mate.
1. a companion and helper.
I don't know if you actually knew what you signed up for when you said your marriage vowels to him but lets delve even further.
1. a person or animal with whom one spends a lot of time or with whom one travels.
"his traveling companion" synonyms: friend, sidekick, confidant, pal, chum, buddy, mate and peeps.
2. one of a pair of things intended to complement or match each other.
synonyms: complement, counterpart, twin, match; I do know you probably have a lot of responsibility on your plate like the kids, a job, the home, your relationship with God, your friends, maybe taking care of a family member, your volunteer work and then your husband.
He was never meant to be last but he was always meant to be first after your relationship with God and taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually so you can give out to everyone else, your husband is one of the most important person in your life and he should be treated as such. Even if you feel like he is not during his part.
Since you agreed to be his wife, you agreed to help him in any capacity he needs you to help him in. You are called to aid and assist him regularly, you are called to spend a lot of to time with him being his friend. You are called to travel with him, you are called to be his companion, his buddy, his pal. You are called to complement him or match him. You are called to be his peeps, twin, counterpart, chum and his mate.
Now these are just dictionary definitions of some of the things you signed up for when you agreed to be his wife. The Bible has so much more to say about your role as his wife. When you agreed to marry him, your body became his and his body became yours. You are called to give him pleasure sexually when ever he needs it.
There is something about knowing that a person really and truly love you, it is very hard to ignore it. So ask yourself have you been murmuring and complaining and shutting down and being bitter and having unforgiveness towards your husband because he is not taking care of you and not meeting your needs the way you need him to.
Have you really been giving your all in your marriage. I am not trying to set your feelings aside, I just want you to evaluate your actions as well. Ok wives, I am talking to myself as well.
If you do have an agenda God has called you to, make sure your husband is taken care of first. Prove to him that he is number one. Biblically you are called to assist him first. I know it sounds unfair but that is how it is done in the kingdom. This is not to make wives feel guilty, we all fall short and none of us are perfect, but we are asking for more in our marriages, are we giving more as well? Have we as wives neglected our God given responsibilities to our husband and replace them with everyone else needs and concerns first? Have we put our own agendas and others agenda before our husband's? Are we becoming bitter, complaining and getting angry at them about being their wife and the role we are suppose to be playing in their life?
Are they really first in our lives like we want to believe that they are?
We are called to assist them in what ever they need assistance in.
1 Peter 3:1-5 – Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.
But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
This scripture is telling you do this for your own husband and not someone else's husband. Don't find some other man more fascinating than your own husband. Some women would compliment someone else's husband but not their own. It is not your business to try and get to know someone else's husband or be curious about what he does. Be curious about your own husband find out more about him. The Bible talks about the simple minded woman, she seeks attention from someone else's husband. She goes about trying to lure men that she do not have a covenant with. What she is really doing is committing adultery in her heart. I noticed that the scripture up top says be in subjection to your own husband. Even if your husband is not giving you the attention that you need stay loyal in your heart before God.
I don't know all that you have been going through in your marriage and I know it can be very scary to let your guards down and become very vulnerable to your husband.
But I am asking you to fight for your marriage. I am asking you to put your emotions and your feeling aside and open your self up to loving your husband again, just like Jesus loves you when you constantly mess up or fall short with him. I am asking you to give your husband lots of grace and forgiveness. I am going to share ways you can win the heart of your husband. I am going to ask you to be patient with the process before you see any results. You might see your husband heart turn in a week or you might not see your husband heart turn towards you for months. You are not perfect and you might mess up, get frustrated, and want to throw in the towel. When you do, just ask God for forgiveness and apologize to your husband for they way you disrespected him.
Serve your husband like you were serving King Jesus. The Bible says, "let him who wants to be the greatest, let him become your servant and whoever wants to be first be your slave." Well wives, I know we can feel like we are slaves and maids sometimes.
But when you shift your mind to serving your husband because it is your 1st ministry, and serve your husband like you are serving in your own personal ministry, your children, your job because your name is out there and you put your heart into it because you want it to go well, and you do not want to look bad, and you want to serve the people God has called you to and you want God to be proud of you, is the same way you should put your heart and soul into serving your husband.
Sometimes this ministry don't come with accolades and sometimes you may feel like you are getting the short end of the stick but I am a true believer that if you be diligent and do it to the glory of God. God will reward you and make sure you are well taken care of.
I want to bring special attention to why am I asking you to serve your husband like you are serving Jesus. Because in 1 Peter 3:1-5 it reads, Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.
God is saying just by you obeying and following the word of God, by speaking kindly to him, putting him first, being very respectful to him, loving on him, encouraging him, assisting him and serving him. Your husband is going to be won over to you by your good conduct. So let me share 15 things wives can do to win the heart of her own husband.
Respect him, Respect is huge for men, they thrive off of it.
Talk kindly to him. I know sometimes husband are not as sensitive as they should be but talk kindly to him, instead of leashing back out to hurt his feeling, men are more frail than you think and can shut down after being disrespected.
Be his friend, sit down and watch the game with him, get to know the things he like and do them with him often, spend time with him just running errands. Men love for their wives to hang out with them and spend time with him.
Be willing to do what he ask of you without murmuring and complaining. Have a good attitude while serving him. Assist him in what ever he needs assistant in if it is not going to cause you to sin.
All men do not require this, but be willing to cook him a good meal and serve it to him, it makes him feel taken care of. If he is the one during the cooking, then fix him a plate and serve it to him.
Forgive him often and give him lots of grace.
Compliment him and encourage him especially in front of others, always find something good to say about him. Tell him how proud you are to be married to him. Try not to speak negatively about your husband to no one.
Smile at him often, let him know that you are happy, your husband would try to keep that smile on your face.
Date your husband, keep things exciting and creative. Don't wait for him to be creative, you do it.
Make passionate love to him often, all the time, as much as he likes it.
Do not correct him in front of the kids.
Keep your appearance up and smell good for him.
Be grateful. Tell him thank you, often, for the nice things you see him do.
Pray for him all the time.
Treat him like a King and help make life easy for him in anyway you can.
I know this seems like a lot but God's grace is sufficient for you, take it one step at a time. What is one thing you can do today that would bring the connection between you and your husband closer together?

Beautiful Words! I really was touched by your words about intruders in your relationship! Some things in our lives can be so subtle and before we realize it; its taken priority over what is important!
Thank you Dorothy for your kind words. You are so right, sometimes our life is on auto pilot, and if we are just doing life and haven't stop to reconnect to God and our spouse, we can miss when the Holy Spirit is prompting us or trying to show us important information that needs to be addressed, in our relationships, and actually address it, don;t discredit that prompting even if we are wrong, at least we had a conversation about it, it can save you from intruders and prevent intruders from entering in.

My friend, Katie, just had her first baby, an absolutely beautiful little girl!!
Almost as soon as I found out Katie was preggo I had an idea for her shower. Katie has a great big heart when it come to dogs. I don't think she's ever met a pup she didn't like. I love how passionate she is about dogs, I think it's an outward expression of how much love she has to give!
This is the inspiration picture from pinterest that led the direction of the shower "theme".
Our main decoration was sewing many paper garlands inspired by this pin and refined a little by this pin. Neither pin really had directions so I simply cut pieces that fit well together size/shape wise. I used a dog bone cookie cutter I had on hand to trace the dog bone paper strand - that was by far the most time consuming strand, but luckily I was watching lots of the Olympics at the same time so Yay for multi-tasking!
We made a variety of puppy chow to munch on and they were all fantastic!
We had some berries and dog shaped cookies too!
These cute little "chip bags" held our puppy chow so we could walk around and visit while still munching at the same time! I found the instructions to make the "bags" here.
We did more decorating downstairs where Katie opened her gifts.
The jars on the left have milk bones and rawhide bones (both bought at Wal-Mart). The puppy print and invitation on the right (along with the food & drink lables and the to-go bag tags) were done by my very talented friend, Samantha. Please contact me if you want to contact her for her fantastic design skills!
We made enough puppy chow so that guests could take a "doggie bag" home!
I got the paper bags at Hobby Lobby and then ended up painting stripes on them using removable Scotch tape & craft paint. I tried printing the stripes, but the bags were too thick and it wasn't working for me so I switched to Plan B.
One of the activities we did was to have guests color ABC pages that we had printed as 4x6 cards from here. Then we put all the pages into an album and created Baby's first ABC book! I love how fun/easy this was for guests and all kids love to read so I think it'll get lots of use!
And here's the party planning committee with Katie!
I say, "Great success", Ladies!
