When designing some unique centerpieces for your country dining room, you want the word "authentic" to be on your mind. Learn about unique country decor centerpiece ideas with help from an award-winning, celebrity interior designer and design psychology expert in this free video clip.
Hi, I'm Kelli Ellis of Kelly Ellis Interiors, and here are some unique centerpiece ideas for your county dinning room table. I want you to think authentic, the most important thing to any centerpiece, is authentic. You don't want to get a vase that has horses on it, you don't want to buy a vase that has pictures of wheat on it, you want the real stuff. That's what gives you the pop, that's what gives you the ah-ha factor, and the wild factor in any centerpiece, and any decor for that matter. So, take a look over here. It's not a country table without a mason jar, you can't have a country decor without mason jars. So, think quaint, think country, you have your daisies, you have your jars of different heights, different types of jars, collected together with candles and flowers. It's simple but says country everywhere. And then, of course, this gorgeous, this is all natural. If you want to have, bring the outdoor in, or have something that looks a little more natural, a little lighter, your decor colors are lighter. This is perfect, you've got wheat, you've got barley, you've got hay, real alpha-alpha, go real. Go to your country store, go to your local neighborhood, go to a neighborhood that has a stall or a barn. And literally, start gathering up the things that are real, to give you that authenticity. And then, you have the boots, what more country than boots. So, again, you add your daisies, which is our typical country flower, and you fill it. There's a glass jar inside, so you're not ruining your boots, fill that with your water, fill that with your flowers, add real items, real tack, real leather. You can get them in any used store, you can buy them from anywhere, some people usually give them away. So, start asking around to get the authentic feel, so you get those really unique country table decor ideas.

Today for lunch I managed to run away to the Starbucks near my office for the first time since early November. It's crazy to think it's been that long since I've been there considering it used to be my go-to place in previous years for my afternoon writing sessions. The staff has completely changed, and the layout has been moved around since I was here last. Does that make it a new Starbucks? Maybe.
The weight loss is going well. I've already lost 3 pounds. It's been strange going back to calorie counting after not doing it for months on end. I find my memory of how many calories are in different foods to be way off the mark. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess. I'll relearn it in time.
I didn't realize how easy it was to forget proper portion sizes, especially when going out to eat. Even more so, the common combo meals on the menu boards that people order from are way over the portion sizes we should have. For just a burger, fries and a drink, the calories can be anywhere from 700 up to 1200, depending on the sandwich and drink you get. And that's assuming you didn't upsize it or order any kind of dessert.
Frankly, it's pretty easy to eat most, if not all, your recommended daily calories in one sitting. No wonder obesity in the United States is off the charts. It's been a jarring adjustment to return to proper portion sizes, but it pays off. Knowledge is power.
I'm working on getting my ducks in a row so I can go on vacation without having a panic attack about things at work. It's proving to be difficult, but hey, nothing is ever easy. On the upside, our new mattresses arrived yesterday. There was a snafu about them taking away our old mattresses and box springs, but it's okay. We'll likely just contact the city and have them haul the old stuff away. It's times like this where I miss us having a truck. Previously we would have just thrown them in the back and hauled them off ourselves. Oh well. I also got to talk to my brother for the first time in months. I'm really horrible at keeping in touch with people. It's one of the many things that I need to fix about myself.
Well, time to head back to work. Later.

Are These FTSE 100 Shares a Buy?
LONDON — I have recently been evaluating the investment cases for a multitude of FTSE 100 companies. Although Britain's foremost share index has risen 4.3% so far in 2013, I believe many London-listed stocks still have much further to run, while others seem overdue for a correction. So how do the following five stocks weigh up?
I believe Burberry Group plc (LON:BRBY) is primed to advance strongly as retail store space increases and activity in emerging markets continues to take off.
The fashion icon announced in last week's trading update that underlying revenue rose 9% in the six months to March 2013 to 1.1 billion pounds, with retail and wholesale turnover from the Asia-Pacific region advancing 15.5% to 447 million pounds. The company said it plans to concentrate new store openings within the growth hotspots of China and Brazil.
City analysts expect earnings per share to have advanced 8% in the year ending March 2013 to 68 pence before accelerating 15% in the current year to 78 pence. A 13% rise has been penciled in for 2015 to 89 pence per share.
Burberry Group plc (LON:BRBY) also provides exciting dividend prospects for investors, having raised its final dividend by 25% in 2012 to 25 pence. Brokers expect the payout to increase to 32 pence and 37 pence per share, respectively, in 2014 and 2015.
The luxury goods manufacturer was recently changing hands on a P/E rating of 16.6 for 2014, above the forward earnings multiple of 15.6 for the entire personal-goods sector. However, Burberry Group plc (LON:BRBY)'s rating is anticipated to fall to 14.6 in 2015. A P/E-to-growth readout of 1.1 for this year and next outlines the firm's reasonable price — a figure around one represents exceptional value for money.
British Sky Broadcasting
I view recent weakness in British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (LON:BSY)'s stock price as a fresh buying opportunity. The company is ratcheting up activity in the face of mounting competition from the likes of BT Group plc (LON:BT.A) in order to maintain earnings growth. Sky has recently rolled out initiatives such as its Now TV pay-as-you-go sports service to boost its television business, and in March it bought Telefonica's U.K. consumer broadband and fixed-line telephony arms to boost its operations.
EPS is primed to rise 12% to 57 pence in 2013, according to broker estimates, before rising a further 5% the following year to 60 pence. British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (LON:BSY) currently trades on respective P/E ratings of 14.7 and 14 for this year and next, carrying a premium to the entire media sector's forward earnings multiple of 12.1, but I believe the company's track record of consistent growth justifies the higher rating.
As well, British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (LON:BSY) is strongly committed to boosting dividends, having hiked last year's total payout 9% to 25.4 pence per share. Brokers expect the payment to increase to 28.6 pence in 2013 and 30.8 pence per share in 2014.
The broadcaster is also pursuing an extensive share-buyback program, and last year it received approval to purchase up to 500 million pounds in additional shares. The firm repurchased 414 million pounds' worth of shares in the second half of 2012.
I am backing shares in real-estate investment trust The British Land Company plc (LON:BLND) to gain traction as its stellar asset-management and exciting acquisition plans ignite earnings. The company sold its Ropemaker Place development in the City of London for 472 million pounds in March and raised 500 million pounds via an equity placing to latch onto a flurry of exciting opportunities entering the market.
City analysts expect EPS to have edged 2% higher in the year ending March 2013 to 30.2 pence before increasing another 2% in 2014 to 30.1 pence. A 7% rise is forecast for the following year to 33 pence per share.
The British Land Company plc (LON:BLND) is a favored pick among income investors thanks to its lucrative dividend policy. The firm's 26.1 pence payout in 2012 is anticipated to rise to 26.5 pence for 2013 before marching on to 27 pence in 2014 and 28 pence in 2015. British Land's dividend yield is well ahead of the current forward FTSE 100 average yield of 3.3%, with readings of 4.5%, 4.6% and 4.8% penciled in for 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively.
The British Land Company plc (LON:BLND) currently trades on respective P/E ratings of 18.5 and 17.3 for 2014 and 2015 — and at a meaty discount to a forward earnings multiple of 24.7 for the wider REITs sector. This discount makes the firm a snip in my opinion, given improving earnings growth projections and a delightful dividend policy.
Burberry Group plc (BRBY): Should You Buy It Today? Unilever N.V. (ADR) (UN) & More: Should I Invest In These Five FTSE 100... Buy BT Group plc (ADR) (BT)? Shire PLC (SHP): Should You Buy In? GlaxoSmithKline plc (ADR) (GSK): Why This Stock Beats AstraZeneca plc (ADR) (... Should I Buy BT Group plc (ADR) (BT) for My ISA?

EX-HUSKIE JAMES
JIM MURRAY Los Angeles TimesSUN-SENTINEL
News Headline: "Washington Coach Don James Resigns Under Fire. Decries Unfairness of Conference Sanctions. 'Not Gonna Take It Anymore,' He Says. 'I'm Tired of Fighting. I Don't Want To Do This Anymore."' We take you now to the waters of the North Sea off the coast of England. The time is 1779. The captain of the American ship, John Paul Jones, is standing knee deep in water in his sinking vessel. His first mate approaches.
"The British captain is calling on us to surrender, sir. But, we have lashed ourselves to his ship. How about we tell him to go to hell, or something like, oh, say, 'I have not yet begun to fight!' Has a nice ring to it."
And John Paul Jones says, "Tell him yourself! I just resigned. Let someone else go down with this ship. I've had enough."
Or, how about if we go to Valley Forge in the winter of 1778. As we look in, Gen. George Washington is approached by a Continental soldier with rags wrapped around his bleeding, frost-bitten feet. His chin is quivering and icicles are beginning to form on his beard.
"Just think, Gen. Washington, if we stick it out here all winter, some day this will be our finest hour and this will be a national shrine!" he says.
And Washington looks at him as if he's lost his mind and says, "Are you crazy? Stick it out here and freeze to death? Not me! You can stick it out here if you want. Me, I'm going to Florida!" Suppose you're with Col. Custer at Little Big Horn in 1876 and he looks out and says, "Look, guys, I'm sorry I got you into this. Maybe if I'm not here, they'll take it easy on you. So, if you don't mind, I'll just resign my commission and head back to the fort. Good luck! Tell Sitting Bull I'm sorry it had to come to this!" What if we're on the bridge of the Titanic. The captain turns to his purser and says, "What iceberg? Nobody said anything to me about any icebergs! Nobody tells me anything! I'm trying to set a trans-Atlantic record and keep the dance band and 10 chefs happy. Wire Cunard and tell them to get some other scapegoat. I'm getting out of here! See if you can get me some women's clothes and smuggle me on a lifeboat."
How about if we're atop Bunker Hill and the commanding officer, William Prescott, looks over the field and announces, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting out of here as soon as I see the whites of their eyes!" Picture Farragut saying, "Damn the torpedoes! Back up!" Gen. Grant would not have said, "I propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer!" Instead, he would have said, "I've got a train to catch and a life to live and books to write. Who needs this?" The general who said, "If I advance, follow me. If I retreat, kill me!" will have to amend it to, "If I advance, follow me. If I retreat, cover me!" When Harry Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" he probably never meant it as advice to football coaches. And when Richard Nixon once announced his swan song (prematurely) by saying, "You're not going to have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore!" he didn't think it would become a rallying cry for Coach James 30 years later.
History tells us the Confederate army, at the lowest moment of the first battle of Bull Run, was moved to rally when a beleaguered soldier, looking up and seeing his general holding firm in the shot and shell, cried out, "Look, there is Jackson standing like a stone wall!" The under-siege Washington Huskies look up and say, "Anybody see Don James standing around here anywhere, now that we need him?" In Washington, they think they made that hit movie about him, The Fugitive.

We celebrated Danika's 5th Birthday this year with a rainbow unicorn party! The kids always get to pick their theme and I think it's become a favorite thing to do. I then take it and run with it! This week I'll be sharing all of my ideas from her Rainbow Unicorn themed party and I had to start with my favorite (and the most aw inspiring thing at the party), Rainbow Jello! It looks difficult, but while it is time consuming, it is NOT difficult!
The trick to making the rainbow jello is to create thin layers and let them set completely before pouring the next layer. It's important to follow the directions exactly and let each mixture cool enough so that it doesn't end up melting the layer below it when you pour it on.
You will make this in a glass 9×13 pan. I did not spray mine with cooking spray and it came out beautifully.
First layer: Mix 1 package of any flavor jello with 1 tsp Knox gelatin and 1 cup boiling water. Cool and pour into pan; refrigerate until set. It takes about 30 minutes to set up in the fridge before you can move on to the next layer. *Important* While waiting for your Jello to set, make the next layer and leave it to cool on the countertop.
Second layer: Mix 1 envelope Knox gelatin with 1/2 cup hot water until dissolved. Add 1/2 can condensed milk and an additional 1/2 cup hot water. Once cooled pour 3/4 cup (just enough to cover the Jello and make a thin layer) of the milk mixture over the set jello and refrigerate until firm. It takes 30 minutes for this layer to set up in the fridge. As soon as you put the white layer in the fridge to chill make the next color jello so that it will have 30 minutes to cool on the counter.
Repeat first and second layer directions ending with a color jello layer. Half way through the process you will need to make the other half of your white mixture. The first time I made this I made the white layer all in one batch and ended up with a bowl of jelled white mix before I was done because it takes so long for the layers to set. Once you run out of white mixture then Mix 1 envelope Knox gelatin with 1/2 cup hot water until dissolved. Add the other 1/2 can condensed milk and an additional 1/2 cup hot water. Once cooled pour 3/4 cup (just enough to cover the Jello and make a thin layer) of the milk mixture over the set jello and refrigerate until firm. Continue repeating layers until you are done.
Once finished, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to set good. Then just slice into rectangles and serve! It was delicious too!
I began my layers with purple then blue, green, yellow, orange, and red so they would be in correct rainbow order. Remember Roy G. Biv! Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. We skipped indigo In order for them to be red on top, purple on bottom, we started with purple and worked backwards. Of course you'll also have a layer of white in between each.
This was definitely the talk of our party and elicited many "oohs" and "ahhs"!
Beautiful rainbow jello that can be modified for many different occasions!
You will make this in a glass 9x13 pan. I did not spray mine with cooking spray and it came out beautifully.
Second layer: Mix 1 envelope Knox gelatin with ½ cup hot water until dissolved. Add ½ can condensed milk and an additional ½ cup hot water. Once cooled pour ¾ cup (just enough to cover the Jello and make a thin layer) of the milk mixture over the set jello and refrigerate until firm. It takes 30 minutes for this layer to set up in the fridge. As soon as you put the white layer in the fridge to chill make the next color jello so that it will have 30 minutes to cool on the counter.
Repeat first and second layer directions ending with a color jello layer. Half way through the process you will need to make the other half of your white mixture. The first time I made this I made the white layer all in one batch and ended up with a bowl of jelled white mix before I was done because it takes so long for the layers to set. Once you run out of white mixture then Mix 1 envelope Knox gelatin with ½ cup hot water until dissolved. Add the other ½ can condensed milk and an additional ½ cup hot water. Once cooled pour ¾ cup (just enough to cover the Jello and make a thin layer) of the milk mixture over the set jello and refrigerate until firm. Continue repeating layers until you are done.

Anonymous donation pays for entire medical school class' tuition
Posted 1:55 pm, July 20, 2018, by CNN Wire
Students at the University of Houston's new medical school won't need to worry about tuition. It's paid for.
An anonymous donor gifted $3 million dollars to the Texas university – enough to pay the full tuition of all 30 students who will be the medical school's first class when it opens in 2020.
"Student debt is the number one deterrent for students when applying to medical school," said Renu Khator, president of the University of Houston in a news release. "This generous gift will allow such students an opportunity to attend and ultimately lead the future medical workforce."
Student debt is soaring
The donation is all the more remarkable considering that Americans owe $1.5 trillion in student loans.
When it comes to medicine, the median debt for a medical student was $192,000 in 2017. The median cost of a 4-year medical school at a public university is $243,902. The cost to attend a private medical school is even higher, says the Association of American Medical Colleges.
University of Houston spokesman Chris Stipes told CNN that tuition for the College of Medicine's subsequent classes will be around $25,000 per year, similar to other state-supported medical schools.
Students will start applying in the fall of 2019. And thanks to the $3 million donation, each of the 30 students in the first class in 2020 are looking at a savings of about $100,000.

I LOVE 臭豆腐 (stinky tofu), and so far we've only found it served at Wu Kong in Hong Kong. Of course we ordered both the steamed and also fried versions. Usually the steamed kind is more stinky (the stinkier the better), but both were pretty smelly!
Fried stinky tofu. Usually I like the steamed kind more, but the fried one here was absolutely perfect.
Steamed stinky tofu. This was a tad too spicy for me, but still very good.
Raw crab. Mmm... Very fresh.

Posted bymakingom	 April 11, 2017 April 13, 2017 Leave a comment on You're on that dating app to feed your ego not to find a mate.
Does that bring up some emotion for you? Perfect. Then this is probably for you.
Do you go on these sites when you're lonely? Do you find you're scrolling through these apps when you're bored without a clear idea of what you want?
If so, what kind of intention are you putting out there for a relationship with these actions?
I bet you wouldn't take them seriously. Or you would recognize that they aren't ready to do what it takes to lose weight. This silly example is the same with the online dating scene.
Granted some people are very explicit about their wants (hook ups only, no hook ups, etc.) and I applaud that if those are their genuine wishes. But most people are "just seeing what's out there," or don't really know what they're looking for, or they are not clear about their expectations. How many times have you actually told someone in the first month of dating the type or relationship you want instead of just letting it play out?
Most of my generation is terrified of being vulnerable. I'm not sure why this happened (read more in my Please Catch the Feels post) but it's true. The hook up culture allows us to have a type of loose connection with plenty of space and boundaries to prevent heartache and rejection…because we were never really together, right? Right!? But it's an awful cycle that leads to a lot of miscommunication, assumptions, drama, and heartaches that are brushed under the rug because we weren't supposed to get attached in the first place.
Because of this fear of being vulnerable, most people on these dating apps are not actually ready and/or willing to be in a real relationship, which requires some vulnerability and trust, but they want to feel desired, they want to feel worthy, they want someone to want them. Or at least the Ego does. (Read about the Ego here) And many people on these sites (and off) are in a battle between their true nature, their Soul, that is yearning for a genuine connection and potentially life long partnership, and their Ego, that is trying to protect them from pain and rejection. We're at odds with our self. Which makes it hard to set a clear intention.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are many people on these sites that really want somebody and are convinced that every new person is THE one but maybe aren't healed enough to pull in someone good for them. For example, we pull in what is familiar to us, so if your parents spoke unkindly to you growing up, you'll probably pull in a partner that does that same because this is what is familiar. It is what we learn to expect from the people that love us because that is what we were shown from a young age. It is this type of desperate/needy/clingy energy that tends to pull in abusive people because, without healing these wounds, it's what we're expecting to see. And once again, this needy, desperate energy of the Ego just wants someone to validate them. It doesn't really matter if the person is good or not.
Of course, these people exist off dating website and apps as well.
It's time to stop dissatisfaction. It's time to stop using other people because we don't feel worthy without someone chasing us. It's time to stop having the same relationship experiences just with different people.
The next few posts will give tools to help set your real intention for the type of relationship you want.
The time for settling is over.
Get what you want. And I'll help.
Use this time to reflect on and parts of yourself you see in these descriptions.


Few churches in the Liverpool Diocese can match the rich heritage of St. Nicholas' Blundellsands. Since its consecration in 1874, leading architects and craftsmen have contributed to its beauty while retaining the building as a place of worship, prayer and reflection; a legacy which can be enjoyed by the whole community.
Notable features include the rheredos and altar, the WW1 Memorial Rose Window and side panels, the Charles Kempe window, and other stained glass windows in both the north and south side of the church.
Our recent Heritage Volunteer recruitment and programme will soon enable us to open up the church even more to welcome visitors and show them around.

Users Of Ashley Madison Get Fucked By Total Stranger
Members of affair site Ashley Madison have been bent over and thoroughly rogered by someone they have never met before and will likely never cross paths with again.
One user said he was surprised by how quickly he got screwed. "I wanted to get fucked by someone other than my wife. That certainly happened today. It all happened very quickly if I'm honest. I've still got my pants around my ankles," he said.
A spokesperson for Ashley Madison said life is short. "And perhaps a little shorter for some of our members after their spouses see their name associated with our website today.
"As we always say, there's a certain thrill in being screwed by someone you don't know. This is one our members will remember for a while".

N. Ireland Politics
NI 100
Northern Ireland 1981 archives released
By Dr Eamon Phoenix
Secret British files just released by the National Archives in Kew on the 1981 Hunger Strike reveal intensive secret contacts between Downing Street and the Provisional IRA leadership in July 1981 before the death of hunger striker, Joe McDonnell, the fifth protester to die.
image captionHumphrey Atkins was Northern Ireland Secretary in 1981
The files show that the British government were contemplating concessions on the lines which finally resolved the hunger strike but demanded that the IRA should call off the strike as a pre-condition.
They also confirm resistance to concessions from Northern Secretary Humphrey Atkins and the Thatcher government's hostility to a proposal that the present Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness should be allowed into the Maze to meet the hunger strikers.
On 8 July,1981, Clive Whitmore, the prime minister's private secretary, informed Stephen Boys-Smith of the NIO of intensive contacts between the two sides over the week-end of 4-6 July.
These were conducted through the medium of the Derry-based businessman Brendan Duddy, known as 'the Mountain Climber'.
The opening of this "channel" can be traced to a letter from Atkins to the prime minister on 6 July, 1981 in which he revealed that the government had been approached by "a third party who is trusted by the top Provisional leadership".
The Provisionals, Atkins said, were no longer pressing for differential treatment for 'their' prisoners but wanted a statement permitting all prisoners to wear their own clothes and concessions on work, association and remission.
'Humiliated'
Significantly, Atkins was unenthusiastic about a deal, telling Mrs Thatcher: "My judgment and that of Michael Alison (minister of state)… is that the best course is to continue to stand firm.
"There is always the chance that the strike will… collapse of itself, leaving the Provisional leadership humiliated."
One drawback of such an inflexible policy, Atkins conceded, would be "to discourage the Provisionals from switching from terrorist to political activity at the very moment when we know that they have begun to find political action attractive".
At a midnight meeting on 8 July, Atkins announced that a message approved by Mrs Thatcher had been communicated to the Provisional IRA.
According to the heavily amended draft, the British government would - subject to an immediate end to the hunger strike - issue a statement dealing with clothing, work and remission; prisoners would be allowed to wear the own clothes but on the vexed issue of work, the Prison authorities would have the final say.
The IRA's response, Atkins told the Prime Minister, indicated that "they did not regard it as satisfactory and that they wanted a good deal more. This appeared to mark the end of this development and we made this clear to the PIRA…".
The file contains a blow-by-blow account of the contacts between the British and Mr Duddy, code-named 'Soon'.
The British government subsequently agreed to a request to permit a Provisional representative into the Maze, provided he was "acceptable".
When the names of Danny Morrison, Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness were proposed, the British said they would accept Morrison but "would on no account accept either Adams or McGuinness".
Late on 5 July, Mr Duddy rang his British contact to say the possibility of any settlement was now "seriously in doubt".
These documents show that the prospects of an early "deal" to end the hunger strike evaporated over that July weekend.
The British never actually formulated their final statement while concessions were strongly opposed by senior NIO Ministers, led by Humphrey Atkins.
This seems to contradict former H Block prisoner, Richard O'Rawe's claims in his book of a clear British offer around 5 July.
POIGNANT GLIMPSE OF HUNGER STRIKER'S LAST HOURS
Controversial claims that the third Republican hunger striker to die, Raymond McCreesh, had sought medical intervention in his last days but was persuaded to "stay strong" by his family, are contained in confidential files on the 1981 Maze hunger strike, released today by the Public Record Office in Belfast.
The files contain allegations that a "confused" McCreesh had indicated a willingness to accept nourishment but that his family had advised that there should be no medical intervention.
McCreesh, a Provisional IRA prisoner from south Armagh, was serving 14 years for the attempted murder of soldiers.
A 'Note for the Record' dated May 18, 1981 states that on 16 May, McCreesh was on day 56 of his hunger strike and described by the prison doctors as "in a confused and disorientated state of mind".
"At about 6pm he had a conversation with the prison hospital officer and said that he would like a drink of milk," the file states.
Despite his confusion, the note continues: "McCreesh gave an affirmative answer to the question from the doctor, 'Do you want us to save your life?'."
In a statement in the file, L Nolan, a senior hospital officer at the prison, informed the governor that when Dr Emerson put this question to McCreesh, he replied "Yes" in a strong voice.
Dr Emerson then phoned the hunger striker's family.
When the McCreesh family arrived, they informed medics that "McCreesh's wish… should be respected and he should be allowed to continue his hunger strike with dignity".
In a separate statement, Paul Lennon, a prison officer, informed the governor that he was aware earlier that day that McCreesh was considering ending his hunger strike but indicated that he wished to see his family first.
Lennon alleged that he overheard the late-night conversation between the McCreesh family and the dying man since, owing to the fact that the prisoner's hearing was affected, the visitors had to speak loudly.
He recalled: "I could hear Fr McCreesh repeatedly telling his brother to be strong and to remember where he was - 'You are in Long Kesh concentration camp, being looked after by prison warders.
'In Heaven'
"'Remember O'Hara (his fellow hunger striker who later died); he is strong and on hunger strike the same number of days as you'."
According to the report, McCreesh asked about Francis Hughes (the second hunger striker to die), to which his brother (Fr McCreesh) replied: "He is in heaven with Bobby Sands."
At this stage, according to Lennon's account, the prisoner's mother said: "Now, Raymond, you are going back on your word."
McCreesh was repeatedly told to remember where he was, not to get confused and not to listen to anyone only his family.
Following the visit on 18 May, 1981, Fr Brian McCreesh telegrammed the British Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher to implore her to intervene: "My brother Raymond McCreesh is a prisoner in HMP Maze… .
"All he has left is his pride as an Irishman and his loyalty to his fellow prisoners, living and dead.
"I beg you to respect his dignity and save him."
The Prime Minister replied to the Coalisland-based priest that, while she hoped his brother would choose to live, the concessions demanded were not in her government's gift.
In a subsequent press statement, the NIO stated that on 16 May, Raymond McCreesh had indicated his willingness to accept medical treatment while in a confused state of mind but that the family's wishes had been respected. Raymond McCreesh died on the following day, along with Patsy O'Hara, an INLA prisoner from Derry - both on the 61st day of their fast.
The McCreesh family issued a statement on Friday, refuting the allegations made in the archives.
"The McCreesh family refute again, as they did 30 years ago, the allegation that they intervened to keep their son and brother Raymond on hunger strike after he had allegedly asked for nourishment," the family said.
"The statements attributed to family members in the recently released report of a prison officer are untrue, inaccurate and falsified.
"The family have always been convinced that the situation was deliberately engineered by authorities in government and the prison service to break the hunger strike."
"Agents of the State abused the extremely vulnerable condition of a dying man for political and propaganda purposes. When their efforts failed they attempted to vilify the family."
KEY MEETINGS HERALDED END OF HUNGER STRIKE
Secret files released by the Public Record Office in Belfast highlight the crucial role played in the final ending of the seven-month long hunger strike by Catholic Primate Cardinal O Fiaich and Fr (later Monsignor) Denis Faul, the leading human rights priest.
The two men met new Secretary of State Jim Prior days before the ending of the Republican death fast.
The role of Fr Faul in persuading the hunger strikers' relatives to seek medical intervention played a key part in the winding-up of the protest while the appointment of Jim Prior to the Northern Ireland Office on 13 September, 1981 paved the way for a resolution.
Fr Faul did not think that more hunger strikers would die as he believed their families would take them off it before death.
However, he emphasised to the secretary of state the strength of feeling among the protesters.
"They were relatively isolated, were inward-looking and they had a deep sense of loyalty to each other after five years of suffering and ill-treatment, as they did to their colleagues who had died.
The atmosphere (in the Maze) was described as "oppressive and sectarian".
Victory or defeat
It was essential "to take the sting out of defeat by making concessions" on work, association and remission.
Responding, Mr Prior emphasised that he wished to see an early end to the hunger strike and would avoid any talk of victory or defeat.
He appreciated that any changes to the prison regime at the end of the hunger strike would have to be precise and clearly established so that there was no chance of misunderstanding.
The previously-secret files reveal a series of sensitive meetings between the NIO minister, Lord Gowrie, and relatives of the remaining hunger strikers in September 1981.
These confirm the proactive role played in the ending of the protest by the relatives, the SDLP leader John Hume and Lord Gowrie, a member of an Anglo-Irish family who had just arrived at Stormont as Mr Prior's deputy.
On 21 September, 1981, an NIO official, DJ Wyatt, contacted the secretary of state to say that Mr Hume had reported that Mrs McCloskey, the mother of a current hunger striker, had now made up her mind to authorise her son's resuscitation when he reached the point of death.
Mr Hume said that she would like to meet Lord Gowrie and to be accompanied by Mrs Lynch, the mother of the dead hunger striker, Kevin Lynch.
'Heartbreaking'
Mr Wyatt was adamant that Lord Gowrie should meet Mrs McCloskey.
The hour-long meeting took place at Stormont Castle on 23 September and the minutes record that "although (the two women) were quite tearful at the start, the meeting proceeded amicably despite the difficult and distressing circumstances".
Lord Gowrie expressed his sympathy for their "heartbreaking predicament".
Mrs McCloskey said that her son did not wish to die but could not go back and face his comrades unless he got "something".
Mrs Lynch strongly believed that "own clothing" would have solved the problem two years ago but that it was very difficult now.
Both ladies said they did not think they had any influence with the hunger strikers' 'OC'.
This was the reason they were appealing to the Minister.
This enabled Lord Gowrie to hope that the relatives should use their influence to end the strike.
'Helpful'
This was followed by a further meeting on 28 September, 1981, between Lord Gowrie and the relatives of five of the remaining six hunger strikers at Stormont Castle, including the sisters of Pat Sheehan (now a Sinn Fein MLA).
The minister told them that the government's view was that "the decision to come off the hunger strike had to be taken by the strikers themselves, but thereafter ministers would try to be helpful".
As the meeting drew to a close, the relatives' spokesman said he had found reassurance in what the minister had said.
This meeting seems critical in the final resolution of the protest.
The hunger strike was called off five days later on 3 October, 1981, and on 6 October the secretary of state announced key changes in the prison regime.
All prisoners would in future be entitled to wear their own clothes; 50% of lost remission would be restored for conforming prisoners, and free association would be permitted within the H Blocks.
MP's murder dominated briefing
The murder of the Ulster Unionist MP Rev Robert Bradford in Belfast by the IRA dominated a security summit at Stormont Castle on Sunday, 15 November, 1981.
It was attended by the Secretary of State Mr Jim Prior, the chief constable, Sir Jack Hermon and the GOC, Lt Gen Sir Richard Lawson.
The chief constable said that the recent Anglo-Irish Summit had caused anxiety in the majority community and the demonstrations by Dr Paisley's followers had helped to stir these feelings.
In his view "the murder of Mr Bradford raised the temperature, but there was no sign of spontaneous community reaction. In terms of community strife he was very reassured".
For his part, the secretary of state said he would not be deterred in his belief that a political solution should be sought.
He was also anxious that targets for retaliatory attacks, such as the SDLP leader, Mr John Hume, should be given adequate protection.

U.S. Cases Rise, Averaging 50,000 Per Day
By Newsy Staff
The average number of new COVID cases in the U.S. has been slowly rising since mid-September when it was closer to 35,000.
The number of COVID cases is rising.
The U.S. is now averaging more than 50,000 new cases per day.
That number's been slowly rising since mid-September when it was closer to 35,000.
The number of deaths remains fairly steady at about 700 per day on average.
Take a look at Wisconsin.
That's one state seeing cases spike, averaging nearly 3,000 new cases per day — down from less than 1,000 back in September.
Nearly 1,000 are hospitalized for COVID right now.
That's also a significant spike from just about 250 last month.
Wisconsin isn't alone. A majority of states, they're seeing COVID cases rise right now. To help us understand where we are, also, where we're headed in this pandemic with schools with small gatherings. I spoke with Dr. Hillary Fairbrother. She's an emergency medicine physician in Houston.
"This disease is still being spread rampantly in many of our communities, and we're not through this yet. We talk about the over seven million people in the U. S. that have had confirmed cases. But we're a country of many, many, many more people than that. And I worry that we could see escalations as we did in April, or as we did in July throughout various regions of this country, um, in either those same communities or new communities such as Wisconsin, which is seeing its own rapidly rate of increase in cases over the last couple of weeks," Dr. Hilary Fairbrother said.

In defense of his good friend LeBron James, Chris Paul has a strong message for his Cavs teammates.

Chris Paul fires warning shot at Cavaliers players - Video
LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers team have been in a funk lately, losing the majority of their recent games and doing so in embarrassing fashion. These embarrassments include defeats to the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Golden State Warriors. While the Cavs have managed to slip past with timely victories against lower class opponents, they have failed to even challenge some of the best teams in the NBA. This is a concern for Cleveland as they have championship hopes but have shown they can't compete with the best teams, the teams that they will inevitably have to defeat to reach their desired goal.
But with LeBron James leading his teams to the last seven NBA Finals, four straight in Miami and three straight in Cleveland, it is expected by many that he will naturally just lead them to the promised land again. But with the NBA becoming even more and more competitive, LeBron is going to need a little bit of help, more than ever this season, from his fellow companions, to reach the NBA Finals once again.
CP3 takes stand for LeBron
Despite being on the Houston Rockets, and focusing his own attention on the success of his own team, Chris Paul has spoken up about the Cleveland Cavaliers and their superstar LeBron James.
The Rockets recently downed the Cavaliers, 120-88, in a dominating national television performance, and CP3 briefly spoke about the state of the Cavs after the game.
CP3 alerted the Cavaliers about having the greatest player of our generation on their team, and their lack of appreciation for it, saying:
"You've got LeBron James over there in that locker room. You know what I mean? What else the man need to do?
Don't take it for granted, man, don't take it for granted."
Chris makes a great point, LeBron James is a once in a lifetime basketball talent, like Michael Jordan was. It is unacceptable if you have the rare chance to be one of his teammates, and you have a lack of effort when playing alongside him. Of course, it starts with the head of the snake being King James, he obviously needs to play better than he has recently.
But his teammates... they need to do their own jobs much better as well.
The talent is there
It's a surprise to many that the Cavaliers are struggling so hard with players like Isaiah Thomas, Kevin Love, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, and, of course, LeBron James on their team. All we have seen in the media lately is possible trade ideas and trade rumors involving the Cleveland Cavaliers, and, although they have valuable pieces, they are not playing to their potential.
It's time for the Cavaliers players to make a more committed effort and play harder, and like CP3 said, don't take LeBron James for granted. If the Cavs want any success this season, it's not just on the King himself, but on his troops as well.

2018 saw the first Dollboy material in a long time in the shape of Rites & Rituals, issued on cassette by Modern Aviation. It's a lovely label and there may well be further Dollboy activity with them next year. In the meantime you can buy it digitally, along with their other releases here.
This week I have been working with Riz Mazlen and many others as part of Sotto Voce Arts, an exchange of ideas and series of collaborations with artists from South Eastern Italy. This included live theatre and a new piece based on Galileo's "sotto voce" utterance, "And yet the earth moves".
Last year I made the music for a crazy play called In A Hole by Claire Frankland (Frankland West Productions) about an Allen Jones scuplture (Waitng in Leather) which is owned by Gary Hume. It ran for three perfromances in Mr Hume's drawing room in Bloomsbury and was subsequently recorded on video for inclusion in the Jones retrospective at the Royal Academy. It can now be seen on the RA website. Working with Biba is always bonkers and rewarding in equal measure and this just turned it all up a notch.
I devised an update of the fanfare we did for the Arctic Circle Christmas concert a few years ago as part of their 5th birthday celebration. This time we had Darren Morris playing the chapel organ, Riz Mazlen on vocals (along with the Chaps Choir) and various members of Frank Chickens!
I teamed up with Darren Morris, Jack Hayter and Riz Mazlen to put on a performance of various old and new Dollboy pieces at The De La Warr Pavilion in December 2013. It was a lovely show to do as we had a 180° panoramic view of the horizon at Bexhill wit the Royal Sovereign lighthouse in the centre. We had quite a few children there all playing handbells and chimes and we played along with them. Magical.
A new album of ambient tape loop music is out now on Awkward Formats. All instrumental with a lovely Mark Fry painting on the front. There's a great review on Fluid Radio over here.
The first 50 to be ordered from AF will arrive with a 2 mini CD live recording of our performance at The De La Warr Pavilion on 25th January this year.
In other news......a recent acquisition of long lost NOS Dollboy vinyl and CDs means that the second album, Casual Nudism is available from the DB Bandcamp page. Handmade LP sleeves and a free download with both CD and vinyl versions. The LP comes in two flavours, Japanese livery (less offensive if you consider a close-up of my mate's arse to be so) and the ROW version with the '30s nudists on the cover.
The album has now been reissued and is available from Second Language now.
The Ghost Stations concert at The Brunel Museum.
You can see the whole thing here thanks to Andres Vincente.
There's an album of remixes of tracks from Ulu just out for download on Bandcamp. Some great mixes from some great artists. I feel truly honoured.
I'm keeping this barkyhead film for our cover of Ivor Cutler's "Women of the World" on the home page because I love it. The track was originally issued on a free cassette at a show in Birmingham with Seeland in 2009.

"Empire" Makes Fox History, Makes Diversity What TV Networks Crave
By Monique on Tuesday, February 3, 2015
Empire has really shown TV networks what a show with a black main cast can do. The series, states IndieWire, has made Fox history, become the first show in 22 years to increase ratings and viewership for the network. In fact, each week, it tops itself in the ratings, quickly becoming this TV season's juggernaut.
As the LA Times writes, a lot of the success comes from word of mouth, Twitter engagement (such as live-tweeting) and a stellar cast. But what's also at the heart of its success is the support it has from its huge black audience, which makes up almost two-thirds of its viewership.
"[The Success of these shows] says that black people watch TV," wrote Lee Daniels, the co-creator of the show, in an email to the LA Times. "Not only watching, but we are coming out in droves to watch. We also go to the movies adn to the theater, especially if we can identify with the subject matter and the people that we see."
Empire is the leader among a litany of black-led shows on TV now, such as Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Sleepy Hollow, and black-ish. Even more shows featuring the black perspective are coming to television, such as American Crime, written by 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley, The Book of Negroes, based on a real story, and an Underground Railroad miniseries based on the book Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad and executive produced by Stevie Wonder.

Other shows featuring diversity are also either airing or are on the way, such as Brooklyn-Nine-Nine, the upcoming Fresh Off the Boat—the first Asian-American sitcom in about 20 years— and Tut, starring Avan Jogia as the boy king among a highly diverse cast.
Diversity was beginning to be a buzzword once Sleepy Hollow had its runaway success in its first season, prompting FOX COO Joe Earley to declare diversity the best business model if a network wants to retain and grow their viewing audience. Now, though, that model has been cemented as a money-maker thanks to the astounding success of Empire.
Diversity should have been the model from the beginning, seeing how many more minorities watch television than they are represented in characters on the screen. But there's always been the idea that the majority—white people—wouldn't understand the viewpoint of the minority.

However, the new "diversity-is-money" business model reflects a societal change in America. White Americans used to be the vast majority. But, they are quickly taking our spot. It's been predicted that by 2043, White Americans will be the minority. That's only 29 years away, which isn't much. It's probably for the best that America begins reflecting its diversity now.
Also, many Americans learn more about their world from television. It would behoove networks who want to attract viewers to actually show different families, viewpoints, and cultures in their programming. It'll not only raise their bottom line, but it'll help educate their viewers on the fact that not everyone thinks, looks or acts the same (and that that's okay).
In short, let's all thank Empire for driving the point home that diversity is needed in television. Let's also thank the other shows and viewers that have helped Empire achieve its success.

Q: Не подключается Infinite Scroll Несколько часов пытался внедрить Infinite Scroll в блоге. Цель простая, главная страница слишком длинная, хочется, чтобы она подгружалась постепенно. У авторов плагина есть идеально работающий пример, однако, что бы я ни делал, в моём случае плагин соверешенно не срабатывает. Наверно, я что-то упускаю.
Если я правильно понял, то принцип работы плагина такой: мы создаём общий div и внутри него статьи (article). При заходе на страницу  человек видит 1 статью, когда прокурчивает до очередной статьи, страница увеличивается и отображается уже 2 статья и так далее. Вроде бы, это я и делаю.
Я пытался прикрепить его через ссылку

Пытался загрузить файл на сервер

Пытался сами элементы оформить через jQuery, JavaScript и просто html, как и предлагается в документации, но всё безуспешно.
Ссылка на очень простую страницу сайта, где я пытался это реализовать: https://dinarkino.ru/new. На данный момент все параграфы загружаются разом, хотя каждый из них обёрнут в отдельный

 ...

Буду очень рад помощи!

A: Проблема у вас в том что вы внутри атрибута data-infinite-scroll вы написали двоичных кавычек внутри других двоичных кавичек
Ваш код
data-infinite-scroll="{ "path": ".pagination__next",
"append": ".post", "status": ".scroller-status", "hideNav": ".pagination"}"

А надо так
 data-infinite-scroll='{ "path": ".pagination__next",
    "append": ".post", "status": ".scroller-status", "hideNav": ".pagination"}'

Также этот атрибут должен добавлятся в класс container

A: Касательно изначального вопроса, у меня было неверное понимание механизма. Недостаточно просто создавать статьи (article) внутри div. Необходимо также делить страницу на несколько отдельных страниц и через pagination оформлять ссылки на следующие страницы. Таким образом, прокурчивая до конца страницы сробатывает ссылка на загрузку следующей страницы. Рабочий код первой страницы выглядит следующим образом:

...

End of content

No more pages to load

    Next page

Где значимые составляющие: posts-feed, post, pagination
Далее сделав это, тем не менее, страницы не грузились. Проблема была в том, что ссылки вели на http версии страниц, а не https, на что ругался хром и блокировал загрузку. В dev tools была ошибка такого рода: Mixed Content: The page at 'dinarkino.ru/new' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'dinarkino.ru/new2'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS., после замены ссылок на такие, всё заработало:
href="https://dinarkino.ru/neww2"

Не знаю, хуже ли такие ссылки, чем ссылки на файлы на сервере, но пока попробую применить подобное на рабочей версии страницы.

Bucatini: what happened in the Us Market?
Since the pandemic, there has been a shortage of this kind of pasta. Let's talk about that, and let's see what makes them so unique.
The mystery of Bucatini
It was funny to read for Italians that at some point, there was a shortage of this pasta in the United States. From New York to Chicago, all grocery stores were left without. A lot of people started looking on the internet at the reason why this happened. Also, a journalist of New York Magazine, Rachel Handler, investigated the case for Grub Street. She found some interesting facts and some technical things. Among them, the fact that "De Cecco bucatini was placed on import alert because it was misbranded as it failed to meet the required standard of identity, like the iron level, which was below the designated level as required by the standard of enriched macaroni," as an FDA spokesperson told Handler. Browsing on the internet, we found our also some interesting stories.
Different reasons to explain the enigma
There were different reasons to explain this shortage in the United States, which mainly happened during the pandemic. This health crisis made everything more difficult, even the production and the distribution of food. Companies focused the most on the items considered "bestselling," like spaghetti and penne pasta.
Bucatini used as straws
But there is also a curious story. It's not new, and the trend we will talk about isn't related only to the US market. But there is a specific story coming from California: after Malibu's plastic straw, stirrer, and cutlery ban went into effect, one restaurant decided to find a different way to serve drinks. The owner knew already that "Because of the environment," many have been using bucatini as straws. So, he did the same; he used pasta straws in his Malibu restaurant and sells them online.
Basics: bucatini comes from the word "buco"
But first, let's put on the table the basics of Bucatini, for the readers who aren't familiar with this pasta shape yet. The name comes from the Italian word "buco," which means "hole." Bucatini are a thick spaghetti kind of pasta, with a hole running through the center like the name says. They are made of hard durum wheat flour and water. Its origin seems to be from Amatrice, a town located northeast of Rome (the birthplace of famous amatriciana), but people in every region of Italy eat them. In some parts of the country, they are better known as "perciatelli."
Which sauces for bucatini?
When bucatini was created, the idea was to have a hole able to allow boiling water to cook the pasta from the inside. An excellent sauce to serve this kind of pasta could be either buttery sauces with vegetables and meat, like guanciale, or Amatriciana sauce, are made with tomato sauce and pork guanciale.
