Benefit walks planned for SIDS Foundation
Benefit walks are planned in seven Iowa cities on Saturday for the state chapter of the SIDS Foundation . It's the tenth year for the Iowa events to raise money for research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Foundation executive director Patty Keeley says SIDS is the leading cause of death for infants between one and 12 months of age. She says SIDS is the sudden and unexpected death of an infant under age one. A diagnosis of exclusion means that everything else has been ruled out after an autopsy and a clinical review of both the child and the mother's pre-and-post-natal history.
Keeley says one of the possible causes of SIDS death deals with the baby's brain stem. She says what's found during autopsy is a brain stem abnormality that leaves the baby potentially vulnerable. Keeley says the foundation does a number of things to help parents who have suffered a loss and to help parents of healthy newborns.
She says they do education about SIDS, they provide support to those who have had a baby die from SIDS, as well as donate a portion of proceeds to SIDS research. Walks on Saturday will take place in: Albia, Cedar Rapids, Keswick, Waterloo, Mason City, Pleasant Hill and Washington.

Bush mourned as a great statesman, a man of uncommon decency
Former President George H.W. Bush died late Friday at his Houston home at age 94
Former President George H.W. Bush is returning to Washington as a revered political statesman, hailed by leaders across the political spectrum and around the world as a man not only of greatness but also of uncommon decency and kindness.
Bush, who died late Friday at his Houston home at age 94, is to be honoured with a state funeral at National Cathedral in the nation's capital on Wednesday, followed by burial Thursday on the grounds of his presidential library at Texas A&M.
Before that, his body will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda for a public viewing from his arrival in Washington Monday until Wednesday morning.
President Donald Trump, who ordered federal offices closed for a national day of mourning on Wednesday, is to attend with first lady Melania Trump and other high-ranking officials.
Bush's crowning achievement as president was assembling the international military coalition that liberated the tiny, oil-rich nation of Kuwait from invading neighbour Iraq in 1991 in a war that lasted just 100 hours. He also presided over the end of the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union.
"We didn't agree much on domestic policy, but when it came to the international side of things, he was a very wise and thoughtful man," former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, a Democrat who lost the presidency to Bush in 1988, told The Associated Press on Saturday. He credited Bush's ability to negotiate with former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev as playing a key role.
"It was a time of great change, demanding great responsibility from everyone," Gorbachev told the Interfrax news agency. "The result was the end of the Cold War and nuclear arms race."
During that time and after, Gorbachev said, he always appreciated the kindness Bush and his family showed him.

In Washington, the former Republican president won praise from leaders of both parties.
Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan lauded him for leading the nation with "decency and integrity," while Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi said it was a "privilege to work with him."
Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee said Bush "befriended political foes, reminding Americans that there is always more that unites us than divides us."
At the G-20 summit in Argentina, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was raised in then-divided East Germany, told reporters she likely would never have become her country's leader had Bush not pressed for the nation's reunification in 1990.
A humble hero of World War II, Bush was just 20 when he survived being shot down during a bombing run over Japan. He had enlisted in the U.S. Navy on his 18th birthday.
Shortly before leaving the service, he married his 19-year-old sweetheart, Barbara Pierce, a union that lasted until her death earlier this year.
After military service, Bush enrolled in Yale University, where he would become a scholar-athlete, captaining the baseball team to two College World Series before graduating Phi Beta Kappa after just 2 1/2 years.
After moving to Texas to work in the oil business, Bush turned his attention to politics in the 1960s, being elected to his first of two terms in Congress in 1967. He would go on to serve as ambassador to the United Nations and China, head of the CIA and chairman of the Republican National Committee before being elected to two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice-president.
Soon after he reached the zenith of his political popularity following the liberation of Kuwait, the U.S. economy began to sour, however, and voters began to believe that Bush, never a great orator, was out of touch with ordinary people.
He lost his bid for re-election to then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, who would later become a close friend. The pair worked together to raise tens of millions of dollars for victims of a 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005.
"Who would have thought that I would be working with Bill Clinton of all people?" he joked in 2005.
Clinton said he would be "forever grateful" for that friendship.

Jewish Community and Anatolia
Famous inhabitants of this landscape
By amateurtourismvolunteer.comPosted onPosted on January 3, 2022 January 3, 2022 Famous inhabitants of this landscape, General tourism, Turkish Culture
Every religion has a different place in the history of Anatolia. Anatolia is known as a geography where various religious systems live together. That's why Jewish community has an important effect on multi cultural sysytem of this geography.
We can come across earlier Jewish communities in ancient sites of Anatolia such as Sardes. As we know that there was a big synangoue in Sardes. Also we have hints in order to discover earlier Jewish communities in other sites. For example we know that there was a vast trade network in Ephesus. Jewish traders had a big share in this network. We can add more samples for this story.
Also we know that the history of Jewish community isn't limited in ancient periods. Jewish community had faced a torture in Europe and finally they were fired. Turkish authority of Anatolia accepted and protected them. Ottoman Empire allowed them to deal with trade. Thus the community improved and extended here. They had many synangoues built in Anatolia. They were the part of the religion mosaic in Anatolia.
Jewish Community and Turkish society has been living in harmony for centuries. Even our customs got resembled more.

Bushfire Relief Appeal
Eels and Bulldogs share the points in chilly gritty draw
Mick Radojkovic
Fri 17 Jul 2015, 07:45 PM
Returning from a bye week, the Dyldam Parramatta Eels Holden Cup side managed a gritty 16-16 draw against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs to maintain a four week unbeaten streak.
The first 20 minutes were an armwrestle as both teams attempted to warm themselves up in the wintery conditions at ANZ Stadium. The Bulldogs made multiple mistakes, but the Eels failed to capitalise on their opportunities.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 23rd minute, as the Bulldogs winger, Marcelo Montoya, managed to find an overlap on the left edge to give the visitors a 4-0 lead.
The Bulldogs extended their lead in the 28th minute, this time on the opposite edge, as centre Michael Morgan, pushed his way through the defence to give the Bulldogs an 8 point advantage. Again, the conversion from Brad Keighran was waved away.
Some positive attacking raids from the Eels, including one involving a cheeky little banana kick from Zach Dockar-Clay, finally lead to the Eels first points scored through Brandon Raeli. The successful conversion from Nathan Davis narrowed the gap to two with six minute to go in the first half.
The Eels were on the back-foot at the start of the second half and the Bulldogs, through winger Montoya again, scored through some smart passing down the left. Keighran's failed conversion moved the score to 12-6.
Whilst ball handling was an issue in the chilly conditions, the Eels second-rower, Joshua Aloiai held the ball and carried two Bulldogs with him to plant the ball down in the 56th minute. His powerful running standing out in a stop-start game.
In the ensuing set after the kick-off, five-eighth Michael Doolan, made an incisive break in the Bulldogs half, but the grubber kick to his outside men bounced awkwardly, being knocked on with the try-line begging.
In the 66th minute, following a quick tap from the 20 metre line, the Eels advanced down the field swiftly before giving it to Joshua Aloiai, who beat two would-be Bulldog tacklers on the way to the try-line for his second of the evening. Nathan Davis converted to give the Eels their first lead of the game, 16-12.
The Bulldogs hit back in the 76th minute, however, after Reimis Smith scored in the right corner. The conversion attempt to take the lead was unsuccessful and the scores were level, 16 all, with just minutes left on the clock.
Despite a frantic last few minutes from both teams, with a nice break from Nathan Davis down the left edge, the scoreline remained unchanged and ended in a draw. The result sees the Dyldam Parramatta Eels Holden Cup side on a 4 game unbeaten streak, but they might have been hoping to snatch both the points this evening at ANZ Stadium if they had taken advantage of their chances.

GREENWALD STATEMENT AT WEDNESDAY ASSEMBLY BUDGET COMMITTEE HEARING
Budget Greenwald News & Releases
(TRENTON) — Remarks, as prepared, of Assembly Budget Committee Chairman Lou Greenwald (D-Camden) at the start of Wednesday's Assembly Budget Committee hearing:
"Good morning and welcome everyone to today's Assembly Budget Committee hearing. Before we start hearing from you, the public, I would just like to take a few minutes to discuss how we will be moving ahead to solve this fiscal year's budget shortfall.
"I was pleased this morning to hear Gov. Christie acknowledge what we've been saying all along — that he does in fact require legislative approval to resolve the budget shortfall.
"We fully realize that spending cuts are in order.
"The Assembly Budget Committee has for many years now developed a reputation for challenging departments to cut spending and I can assure you that will continue.
"But with the Governor's acknowledgement that he must work with the Legislature, we hopefully can at least now move forward in a bipartisan way to devise budget cuts that don't — as the Governor's plan would do — place a heavy and undue burden onto our property taxpayers, commuters and hard-working middle-class and the poor residents.
"Gov. Christie's plan to strip $475 million from our schools will, quite simply, drive up property taxes.
"To say otherwise shows a lack of understanding, as school district surpluses are to be either returned to property taxpayers as relief or used to offset future property tax hikes.
"Hard-earned money from property taxpayers was not supposed to be unilaterally taken by any governor to balance the state budget.
"Property taxes are the leading concern of New Jerseyans and Gov. Christie's move will just exacerbate that worry.
"After all, it was my Republican friends who just last December, when then-Gov. Corzine offered the same plan, said taking aid 'from only those districts operating with a surplus is tantamount to punishing those who have planned and budgeted efficiently,' and then added, 'We can no longer rely on dipping into the taxpayers' pockets to balance the books.'
"As move forward, this must be done in a transparent process that involves the open debate and discussion that the public deserves. That is when our democracy works best.
"Based on the governor's acknowledgement today, this debate is now even more important.
"Today's Assembly Budget Committee hearing will give the Governor's plan the public debate it has lacked, and I look forward to more discussion in the weeks ahead."

2023 Marketing Predictions: The Pendulum Swings
Rachel Trevino, Director of Communications
At the risk of conjuring up some serious imagery from Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball…we're predicting 2023 to be the season of the pendulum swing. Three years after a global pandemic, industries and businesses across the board are attempting to recalculate a return to pre-pandemic norms—or embracing the fresh-trodden trajectory of a brave new world.
We asked Director of Communications Rachel Trevino and Digital Media Supervisor Tina Dunk the top three predictions for business owners and communications managers in 2023. Bonus: actionable tips to help you maneuver through the marketing maze.
#1: TikTok Challenges the Inauthenticity of Instagram
Using short-form video as its hallmark format, TikTok creators are part of the tsunami of #nofilter content across the social media landscape. With Gen-Z at the helm, we are saying goodbye to the era of over-photoshopped images and perfectly posed influencer marketing. Although beautiful, it isn't "real." Audiences want to feel like they're consuming content in its rawest form. With more intelligent algorithms determining what we see on our social feeds, it's a strong bet that the need for more customized content, community engagement, and creator collaborations will increase exponentially. Enter BeReal. The launch of this sister app is likely to be part of the next frontier in the earnest need for belonging and authenticity.
Our talkTip: It's better to be present than perfect. Don't stray away from TikTok and viral trends. Consider highlighting every personnel level of your business with vertical video, and if you want to try something really real: drop the script.
Tina Dunk, Digital Media Supervisor
#2: An Increasingly Divisive World Calls for Smarter Crisis Comms
Cosmic recalculation comes with additional swings that no one can predict. Lingering effects of racial violence, global health crisis, unstable economies, and climate change permeate the internet and our lives. As communications professionals, our role as the conscience counselors for our clients will continue to increase in importance. The need to understand and embrace intersectional cultural strategy in crisis communications work is more essential than ever. The multicultural communities of today's stakeholders are increasingly values-driven and expecting informed authenticity, transparency, and equitable accountability.
With disinformation on the rise, public relations can be an amplifier for social good. PR pros who evolve their practice with diversity, equity and inclusion in mind will be the guiding lights through a time of dynamic change driven by technological innovation at lightning speed.
Our talkTip: Slow down and take stock of real conversations between community spokespeople before making any quick-decision statements. Being a part of the conversation doesn't always mean leading the conversation.
#3: Keep scrolling; Storytelling takes over feeds and hearts
Storytelling is a more encouraging way to welcome people into your brand world-building. Think of the pendulum here. Rather than talking at an audience, 2023 is the year of inviting in. Storytelling can help build trust, which according to recent studies, can be a challenge for more traditional media outlets. Psycholinguists have shown that the power of effective stories exists in the ability to induce "transportation" into the narrative.
Our talkTip: Social users can smell a pitch from a mile away. Instead of incorporating a CTA (call to action), consider telling a compelling story and trusting that your audience has the autonomy to vote with their dollar. This is a more empowering "come with us on the journey" approach, where the viewer opts in, instead of an intrusive demand.
Powerful shifts lay ahead in 2023. Take some time to analyze where your business aligns with these predictions and decipher what goals you and your team can incorporate into an impact-first marketing and communications strategy.
And if you have questions about how to make it happen, let's talk.

Have you heard about the GDPR?
Or the General Data Protection Regulation?
The GDPR, while essentially an EU law has the potential to impact all businesses globally. So, if you haven't paid much attention to it yet, please read on. This information is really important and it will help you protect your business.
Disclaimer: Please note that I'm not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. The information I'm sharing with you has been sourced from other channels. It's aim is to help you with your email marketing activities. I encourage you to search for more information online or seek legal advise on how it applies to your business.
GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation. It is a privacy law from the European Union (EU). This law will come into effect on 25 May 2018.
The GDPR is designed to provide greater protection to your personal information, including how it's collected, stored, and used.
There are strict requirements placed on companies that possess the personal data of people located in the EU.
It applies to anyone or any business who collects data from residents of the European Union. This includes your email list and website data.
The GDPR will come into effect from 25 May 2018.
It is important to note that the GDPR applies retroactively. This means that it applies to anyone from the EU who joined your email list in the past and are still on your list.
My business isn't in the EU, why does it apply to me?
Firstly - it doesn't matter that your business isn't in the EU.
If you have European residents as email subscribers or customers, or if you have the possibility of having them signing up to your email list, the GDPR applies to you.
Failing to comply by 25 May 2018 could cost your business a lot of money. There are fines of up to €20 million or up to 4% of your annual global turnover depending on the severity of the breach.
How does it apply to my email marketing activities?
In a nutshell, you cannot email any European resident if they didn't specifically sign up for your emails. And this applies even if they signed up to receive a freebie.
This means that if people signed up to download an opt-in gift from you, that's the only thing you can send to them. You cannot send any other information, newsletters or promotions without further permission and explicit consent.
Basically, you need to email all your European subscribers or any subscriber from an unknown location. And you need to ask them if they give you their permission to continue sending emails to them.
You need their confirmation before 25 May 2018.
If you don't receive confirmation then you need to DELETE them from your list.
Update your email sign-up process to make sure any European resident who subscribes consents to receiving your newsletters and promotional emails too.
Make sure separate consent is obtained for each purpose. Your subscribers have to clearly request to join your email list and receive emails from you.
Don't ask for more information than you actually need. This means if you're building an email list, you only need the first name and email address.
Make it easy for subscribers to change or delete their information at any time. And make sure you have a clear and working "Unsubscribe" and "Edit your preferences" options in your newsletters and promotional emails.
If someone unsubscribes from your list, then you must delete them and never email them again. The exception is only if they subscribe to you again.
Keep records of people's consent.
Make sure the email marketing software you are using is GDPR compliant and that they have a compliant data processing agreement in place.
If you're using email marketing, don't be discouraged. If you keep building a good relationship and providing content of value, then your readers will want to stick around.
If they don't want to hear from you, that's okay. You, I'm sure, will have heard me say "quality over quantity" before!
Although this can all sound a bit challenging, this regulation should protect us all. And in the long run, the people who give you their details are the ones who really want to hear from you. They are the people who value what you do and what you have to say.
I hope you found this helpful. You can read more about the GDPR and how it applies to Australian businesses on the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website.


Newsday 12/10/15 - A proposed vineyard and wine-tasting venue in Northport is roughing the palate of some village residents, who say it would be inappropriate next to — about 350 feet from — Norwood Avenue Elementary School.
"We don't need that next to our school, and we don't want to see it in our neighborhood," Northport resident Alice Abbate said during a public hearing of the Huntington Planning Board, which must decide whether to grant the project site plan approval. She told board members she has a problem with a business serving alcohol so close to the school.
Huntington attorney Fred Giachetti and his wife, Lisa, said establishing Del Vino Vineyard and a tasting room on the 10-acre property is a chance to preserve one of the dwindling open-spaces available for purchase in the region.
"I just thought this was a perfect opportunity," Fred Giachetti said.
But the Giachettis plan has become a fight that includes the Northport-East Northport School District, a representative of which spoke against the project during the Dec. 2 planning board hearing.
The Giachettis' dream of making their own wine is linked to Lisa Giachetti's ancestry. Her family has made wine and silks in Italy for more than 200-years. The couple wanted to build a small-scale vineyard where they would make their own blends, from pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc and Gewürztraminer grapes.
Before the couple purchased the land in 2012, it had languished for about 15 years, Fred Giachetti said. The couple secured approvals to build a 7-house development on the land, but he said they realized a vineyard would give them a chance to preserve the land and restore the original 90-year-old farmhouse as a tasting room.
But Abbate said she's gathered 350 signatures in opposition to the project in the village of about 7,400 people.
She said a tasting room would attract large weddings and other parties, disrupt the neighborhood, clog traffic as vineyard customers look for parking, and potentially put drunk drivers on the road.
Fred Giachetti rejected that suggestion, saying the tasting room would have about 60 parking spaces and try to attract to smaller groups.
Tondo called for more public hearings and an environmental study before the planning board decides on the application. Tondo said the school district is concerned about pesticides that would be used on the grapes and the possibility that unhealthy particles from the soil could drift.
Giachetti said the town already performed an environmental review and found that there was no negative impact to the community. Giachetti said he would still use a pesticide machine that pulls airborne spray back into the device to recycle and contain it, thus minimizing exposure to surrounding areas.
The Giachetti's have planning board approval to grow grapes, but they need site plan approval to be able to make wine or have a tasting room.
The couple has a state liquor authority winery license and farm winery license. And Suffolk County and the state Department of Agriculture and Markets has granted Del Vino a place in one of the county's agricultural districts.
Fred Giachetti said the couple projects they could produce about 5,000 gallons of wine a year; and they want to grow pears, peaches, figs and herbs on the property. The fresh produce would be used to offer small plates to people who visit the tasting room in the restored farmhouse.

//config.yml
twig:
    form:
        resources:
        - ::my_form_layout.html.twig

//my_form_layout.html.twig
{% block form_label %}
    {% spaceless %}
        {% if label is not sameas(false) %}
            ...
            {% set asterisk = '' %}

            {{ label|trans({}, translation_domain) }}: {% if required %}
            {{ asterisk|raw }} {% endif %}

            ...
        {% endif %}
    {% endspaceless %}
{% endblock form_label %}

Problem is this way when I render, for example, a choice-type field for selecting the sex of a person, with expanded and required set to TRUE, the colon (:) and the asterisk (*) appear next to the word Sex AND the words Male and Female as well.
How can I make the template differenciate between the parent and the two children, so the colon and the asterisk appear only after the word Sex.
Thanx

A: This is how I've done something similar. Modify the 'choice_widget_expanded' block a bit in your custom form layout:
// update this row: {{ form_label(child) }}
{{ form_label(child, child, {'exclude_additions': 'true'}) }}

And update your 'form_label' to check whether this value is defined:
{{ label|trans({}, translation_domain) }}{% if exclude_additions is not defined %}: {% if required %}
{{ asterisk|raw }} {% endif %} {% endif %}

Police: Connecticut Man Used Counterfeit Currency to Bail Himself Out
New York State Police
A Connecticut man is facing multiple felony charges after he allegedly broke into a Millbrook home, stole a motorcycle, led police on a car chase and a foot pursuit, and then used counterfeit currency to bail himself out of jail.
Boy, where to start with this guy? Well, I guess we need to make a list:
Don't steal a vehicle
Don't break into somebody's home
Don't steal from said home
Don't run from the police
Don't drive the wrong way on the Taconic State Parkway
Don't crash into a police car
Don't use counterfeit currency to bail yourself out of jail.
On Jan. 2, 2017 a Millbrook man reported to the New York State Police that somebody had unlawfully entered his garage and stole his Kawasaki motorcycle. The man gave police a description of the vehicle and patrols were alerted.
Troopers observed a white Ford Econoline van, which matched the description of the suspect's vehicle traveling south on the Taconic State Parkway. Troopers attempted to pull the vehicle over, but the driver failed to comply with the officers emergency lights and sirens.
The driver then crossed the median and began to drive southbound in the northbound lanes before crashing into a Town of East Fishkill patrol car. The officer was not injured in the collision.
The man exited the van and led police on a short foot pursuit before being taken into custody. The driver, identified as Rosado, was taken to East Fishkill Police Department where he was charged with attempted assault in the second-degree, reckless endangerment second-degree, unlawful fleeing of an officer in a motor vehicle, reckless driving and leaving the scene of a property damage auto accident.
Rosado posted $700 cash bail and was transported to the state police barracks in Poughkeepsie. It was later discovered that he had given the officers counterfeit currency for station bail. As a result, the East Fishkill Police Department additionally charged the defendant with criminal possession of a forged instrument first-degree.
Rosado is also facing charges of Burglary in the third-degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the third-degree, reckless endangerment in the first-degree, grand larceny fourth-degree, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth-degree, all felonies.
A State Police investigation indicated that the Ford Econoline Rosado was operating was stolen from Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Rosado was arraigned and sent to Dutchess County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail. He is due back in court at a later date.

Dove Helping Women Redefine Modern Beauty
Abby Penning
Ten years ago, Dove discovered that only 2% of women around the world believed they were beautiful. Based on that troubling insight, Dove launched the Campaign For Real Beauty and ignited a conversation about the need for a wider definition of beauty. Women agreed that the notion of beauty had become limiting and unattainable and began to respond, re-think and re-imagine what beauty should be. A decade later, Dove has uncovered through a major study in the U.S. that 62% of women feel they are responsible for influencing their own definition of beauty, nearly triple from the 23% ten years ago. Women believe the definition of beauty has evolved to become more inclusive and have taken on the role of defining the standard for themselves and each other.
To illustrate how beauty is being redefined and to mark the tenth anniversary of the Campaign for Real Beauty, Dove has partnered with Sundance Institute and filmmaker Cynthia Wade on a documentary short film Selfie. Dove is committed to creating a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety and hopes to make this vision a reality by inspiring all women to redefine beauty and share their own beauty stories using #BeautyIs.
Dove set out to understand how beauty is defined today and how it has evolved over the past 10 years. Nine out of 10 women said that they can finally celebrate their unique characteristics such as having a gap between the teeth, freckles or a scar. Many also believe that society has made great strides in being more accepting of different types of women, particularly of women of color (86%), appearances (72%), and ages (71%). In fact, with respect to age, 84% say women young and old inspire them to feel their best. While it is clear that progress has been made in widening the definition of beauty, the work is not complete. A staggering two-thirds of women still believe more needs to be done.
When it comes to societal factors that influence the beauty conversation, media and pop culture continue to play a pivotal role, but social media (user-generated content) is emerging as one of the most powerful influencing factors. Social media offers women the opportunity to create their own media, personalize beauty and influence the conversation. More than half (55%) of women believe social media is playing a larger role in influencing the beauty conversation than traditional media.
"How we define beauty today has evolved over the past ten years," says Nancy Etcoff, director of the program in Aesthetics and Well Being at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant clinical professor at Harvard Medical School, who consulted on the research. "The advent of social media is an empowering tool for women to tell their own beauty story and has allowed the definition of beauty to evolve into one that is more multifaceted and inclusive. Women are becoming their own media creators. It's the personalization of beauty for the next generation."
Dove premiered Selfie, a documentary short film, at Sundance Institute's Women at Sundance brunch in Park City, Utah. Directed by Wade and produced by Sharon Liese, Selfie captures the journey of multiple generations of girls and their mothers in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts as they create a new type of selfie that celebrates their unique beauty.
"The way women are defining beauty today is changing dramatically, and social media has much to do with the change," says Wade. "Now we have the ability to photograph the beauty we see in our friends and ourselves. When we share these diverse images on our social networks, we are taking personal ownership and truly redefining beauty."
Selfie focuses on a social media challenge, #BeautyIs, in which the film's participants explore their vulnerable self-images and take selfies, which prominently feature what they perceive as their personal physical flaws. With the help of a professional photographer, the girls build the courage to create art by embracing their least desirable feature thus expanding their definition of what beauty is. Exhibiting these images in a #BeautyIs selfie photo gallery, the young women share their newly discovered beauty with women of all ages in their community.
As part of its commitment to redefining beauty, Dove is supporting the 2013-2014 Mentorship Program of the Sundance Institute - Women In Film Los Angeles Women Filmmakers Initiative. The 2014 class of mentees includes six female filmmakers involved in both documentary and narrative projects who have been paired with mentors working in the industry today. The goal of the mentorship year is to provide these artists with support, community and access to help them advance their careers to the next level. Additionally, the Dove brand's support allowed for the creation of the Dove Beauty Redefined Fellowship, providing a grant to Wade to create Selfie. As part of this grant, Wade was paired with two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple, who acted as a mentor throughout the creative process.
Every woman has the power to redefine her own beauty. Traditionally, the media has told us who and what is beautiful. With the rise of social media, women now have the chance to tell each other what beauty means to them. Dove encourages women everywhere to share what beauty is to them through its #BeautyIs online experience. Every woman can play a role in influencing the definition of beauty, and Dove asks all women to redefine beauty together.

The first thing you should pay attention to when Renting a car in Newcastle Upon Tyne is which size of a vehicle you need. This decision depends on how many passengers are going to travel with you and, of course, the total amount of baggage. There are many different types and models of vehicles, so you will easily find an appropriate one. However, you should also know that each car has its conditionally assigned number of allowed suitcases. You don't have to pay for every piece of baggage, but only one unit of hand luggage for every person is regarded as a handbag and doesn't count. All other suitcases are considered as baggage and must fit the declared capacity of a vehicle. If you travel with more than 5 passengers, our Newcastle Upon Tyne car rental service advises you to hire 2 vehicles of the standard class instead of 1 multi-seater car. It will more likely reduce the total cost for your car rental Newcastle Upon Tyne contract and appear as a more convenient way of travel.
The safety of your child is also an important issue. We pay much attention to this fact. That's why our cheap car rentals in Newcastle Upon Tyne for suppose affordable prices for equipping a rental auto with a child seat. If you wish to save money, there is one specific option, which you should know about. Some plane tickets allow you to have a child seat in your baggage without a fee. It can save you money but will require additional hands. All the information related to this option can be obtained from your air service provider. One more handy option is to purchase such a seat at the supermarket on arrival. Do not neglect this important fact and you will not just protect your kid from danger but also will avoid quite hefty fines.
If you plan to cross the border or to use a ferry during your car rental Newcastle Upon Tyne journey, pay close attention to the paragraph of the rental conditions associated with this option. Some rental companies allow their customers to travel across the board, while others accept only a ferry transit. You should know that not all of the offered vehicles arу available for such purposes. That's why it is also very important to inform a car hire Newcastle Upon Tyne provider about your intentions before buying tickets for the ferry. The provider, in turn, will give you the information about the cars, which are allowed for this kind of travel.
Money-saving tip. Our service advises you to check out the fuel policy of your car rental Newcastle Upon Tyne contract before signing it. There are various offers with various conditions related to this feature. Sometimes you can see a "pick-up full and return empty" option, which is not always beneficial. If you plan minimum driving or rent a car Newcastle Upon Tyne vehicle for just a couple of days, it can turn out that you don't need a full tank of fuel. In such cases, it can be more efficient to hire a Miami car rental auto with another fuel policy. For example, you can use a "pick-up full and return full" option, which will allow you to pay exactly for the amount of fuel you used. These conditions are set individually by each car hire company and can be found in the description of any offer. There are 4 different types of available options: pick-up and return full, pick-up full and return empty, pick-up and return half-empty, pick-up half-full and return empty.
Use the most advantageous car hire Newcastle Upon Tyne pick-up option. We recommend our customers to choose the "Meet and Greet" opportunity, which appears as the most convenient one. Selecting this kind of pick-up releases you from a necessity to stand in line waiting for a shuttle bus or to travel by public transport with your luggage. A representative of our Newcastle Upon Tyne car rental service will meet you at the terminal with a plate carrying your name or the name of a rental company. Your car, meanwhile, will be waiting for you at the parking. One more pleasant nuance is that renting a car in Newcastle Upon Tyne with the "Meet & Greet" option usually costs less than taking a vehicle from a company at the airport as you don't have to pay an extra airport fee.
Do not forget about the Excess Fee. We wish you to experience cheap car rentals in Newcastle Upon Tyne and prepared a couple of tips related to this topic. By default, you're usually obliged to leave a deposit for your rental contract. In most cases, a rental provider holds a necessary sum of money on your credit card until you return a car. This sum of money won't be fully or partially refunded in case of an insured event. This deposit is also called the Excess Fee. More detailed information about this feature is clearly described in the FAQ about Excess Fee and Excess Fee Reduction). Read this paragraph carefully to see which options can reduce this fee. It is very important to see the actual amount of the required deposit for your car rental years old in Newcastle Upon Tyne deal. In some cases, you will meet low rental costs but will have to pay a high Excess Fee or vice versa. We advise you to figure out the total cost of your contract, including this deposit before placing a firm order.
In order to get the best car rental in Newcastle Upon Tyne experience, you should also select a proper Residence Country in your request. This fact can influence the conditions of the offers you will receive. In some situations, you get higher or lower car rental in Newcastle Upon Tyne costs. In other cases, you can even get a refusal from some providers. Here is one of the common examples. The USA citizens usually get their offers without Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Third Party Liability Protection (TP). However, you can not hire an uninsured auto. So, if a customer will choose one of such offers and rent a car Newcastle Upon Tyne vehicle at mentioned terms not paying attention to the absence of insurance, he finally faces the requirement to pay extra money to purchase one.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a popular nature-inspired meta-heuristic for solving continuous optimization problems. Although this technique is widely used, up to now only some partial aspects of the method have been formally investigated. In particular, while it is well-studied how to let the swarm converge to a single point in the search space, no general theoretical statements about this point or on the best position any particle has found have been known. For a very general class of objective functions, we provide for the first time results about the quality of the solution found. We show that a slightly adapted PSO almost surely finds a local optimum. To do so, we investigate the newly defined . potential of the swarm. The potential drops when the swarm approaches the point of convergence, but increases if the swarm remains close to a point that is not a local optimum, meaning that the swarm charges potential and continues its movement.

Hoping to hear from all the songtrailers out there continuing their song-writing journeys!
This article has been published in the Critical Mass Blog.
Please leave comments on that blog, as well as here. I am sure Queensland Music Festival and Tutors want to know what you thought of the workshops if you were there.
I can't believe I had never heard of Song Trails before this year. Vanessa Bromley who runs our local Tully music shop and Evolve told me it was coming through Cassowary Coast and asked if I wanted to be put on an 'expressions of interest' list.
It wasn't definite the trail would be heading our way so she was drumming up interest. I said, 'Sure why not? Count me in!' Then later I heard from our Cassowary Arts Officer, Kath Barnett- all systems go!
I have written poetry since I was eight and completed four years in classical guitar training over twenty years ago. Since that time I have never neglected my guitar although I have played mostly popular and folk tunes to amuse the kids and myself.
The poetry has been going well and I have published a few pieces and co-edited an anthology for the Licuala Writers of the Cassowary Coast called Under One Sky, but it is only recently that I began to write songs. The main catalysts for my song writing efforts were shifting from city to small country town living, as well as wanting to add music to our group's public prose and poetry readings.
Cassowary Coast, our home since 2006, is super wet and a complex place when you dig under its surface. Now, we have had the dubious experience of being through two severe cyclones and living in their aftermath. We're in a fertile place for experience that inspires words and music- as well as being great for growing sugar cane and bananas.
The concept of Song Trails intrigued me when I found out more about it – just how were forty people with four talented song writers, going to create songs in four hours? When we arrived and found out that we only had one hour and thirty minutes of the time for the song creation, and production I was mildly terrified. Can you really co-write a song in such a short amount of time with people you might not even know?
As I explained in Muso Intros the workshop artists first introduced themselves and ran an informal panel to put us at ease before we got down to song making. We were then asked to immediately put into practice some of the principles they had shared with us. We moved into our song- writing groups: two groups of twenty, with two artists to lead us. I found myself in Peter Farnan and Leah Flannagan's group.
Then people volunteered to read their productions – and words flowed from our pages to our mouths, to the group, to butcher paper and white board. Farnan asked us to read slowly and stopped us at phrases or key words that sprung out at him. We ended up with a group set of phrases and key words to work with.
Song in progress, courtesy June Perkins.
This ended up being our chorus.
We were asked what key, 'major or minor?' We went for minor. Farnan began to play chords on the keyboard and turned to Flannagan every now and then for her input, 'what do you think here?' Flannagan hummed a melody as he played more chord combinations.
Farnan urged everyone to go with the flow, explaining that 'this song is organic and its structure will emerge in the process of doing.' We went with the flow.
Our group song ended up with: a chorus, two verses, a bridge, a guitar solo and a gospel feel, through this surprising process.
As we added in the ideas from the group, and explored the snippets we had 'automatically written' we stripped away unnecessary words, and repetition, to make the lines scan better for the song and seem more mysterious. As we did this new phrases came into being and made their way into our song.
At one stage our song was heading for Bob Dylan territory and then gothic, Black Sabbath day style – gravestones were in danger of appearing, perhaps the influence of some of the musical tastes in our group, but another element wanted some light – something positive and less bleak (although Farnan felt the words did not have to be read as bleak). Flannagan encouraged our efforts to balance the song, and so a mattress to protect (from one of our automatic writers) began to appear in the lyrics. Song writing can be a real ying and yang gig I've since concluded.
We sang the chorus with Farnan accompanying us on keyboard (he is a brilliant pianist), as we thought about whether the lines flowed into each other well enough. Finally the discussion lead to verses that seemed to work. The skeleton of our song came into a fully fleshed being.
Our song seemed to speak to me personally of the anger of being in a cyclone, and then recovering to win the day. Maybe our automatic writing had unearthed something we needed to speak about, but we had not set out with a specific idea to do this.
I am not sure what it said to others so I hope they will respond to this blog.
Later we got together with the other group facilitated by Rebecca Barnard and Robert Forster, and shared our song, and they revealed theirs – a heart-warming and cheery song with food at its centre from "Mama's Kitchen," which I think will be shared on the live stream as well.
Our group formed a spontaneous Cassowary Recovery choir to sing to the other song writers. We were inspired and maybe even healed by the process of composing and belting out a gospel rhythm song expressing so much of what we have been through on the Cassowary Coast.
We closed the whole Song Trails evening with a brief sharing of our own songs. I wish we had more time as there was so much talent in the room from our local area; it would have been good to get to know them as individuals and maybe hear more of our panel's thoughts on our local song-writing efforts, but there just wasn't time. Our guest artists were apologetic about this and gave us a few sentences or sang along enthusiastically.
Still the group unity in creating and the joy in performing that new work is really what Song Trails seems to be about; we can follow each other up.
Song Trails has inspired me to seek out talented musicians and singers to collaborate with and to keep working on my song writing skills. You can follow my continuing song writing efforts and progression if you like on Gumbootspearlz youtube.
Why not share your comments about being in a song trails workshop?
Especially those of Hugenden; I heard your song last night at the Song Trails concert in Innisfail and cannot get it out of my head! Neither can anyone in my family. It is so beautiful and to think you got that all from the word "chill", sends chills down my spine.
I'd love to hear from other Song Trailers on the critical mass or my Unity's Garden Site. It feels like we are one big family now.
You can visit catch June at Aftermath's ABC's Open Project. She has a song "Rain is All there is" for you to comment on if you want to help her in her song writing journey. For more photos of the workshop visit Gumbootspearlz flickr.
Thanks for this interesting post June. I was keen to read about the group songwriting process and look forward to hearing the end result.


Now that the leaves are turning gorgeous colors and there is a chill in the air, it's time to start on some fun fall activities with the kiddos! Fall is my favorite time for arts and crafts or doing certain things outdoors. So I'm going to share with you the best activities you can do with your kids this fall!
Indoor arts, crafts, and projects.
Glitter Leaves – My son and I did this last year and will be doing it again this year. It's fun, simple and makes a really pretty way to decorate for fall!
Here are the instructions: Gather some leaves, popsicle sticks, and or construction paper. Have some glitter glue of your choice, ( we use Mod Podge ) and you can use ribbon or string if you want to hang your leaves.
Make sure your leaves are dry, but not super crunchy, lay them out flat on paper towels or paper plates, use a paintbrush to decorate your leaves with glitter glue, around the edges, just the veins, or all over the entire leaf. After the glitter glue is dry, you can glue the leaf to a popsicle stick or to a piece of cut out construction paper. Stick them or tie them anywhere you wish! Or, just leave them as is and let them live on your table or in a glass vase. Whatever you want to do with your leaves, they are going to look great! I also added some colored loose glitter and metallic paint to ours!
Scribble Monsters – Now you can do this cute little project any time of year, but since we'll be spending more time indoors over the next few months I wanted to include this! I love it so much!
Simply take any scribble you or your child makes and add some googly eyes, arms, legs, yarn, or whatever else you'd like and turn it into a monster! I stole this idea from a lovely fellow blogger friend of mine from Rowdy Rascal Kids. It's just the cutest idea! I can't wait to do this!
Traditional Hand Turkey – This is always a Thanksgiving craft staple. Every kid should make a hand turkey at least once, if not a few times ( their hands are always growing! ) Simply use colored construction paper, have your child or yourself trace your child's hand on the paper then carefully cut it out. Attach some construction paper "feathers" eyes, legs, beak, however you want to design your turkey! Below is a picture of my son's adorable little hand turkey!
Decorated Mason Jar/Glass – This is just a super simple little thing I did to dress up some drinking mason jars that I set around at each place at our table. All I did was use Mod Podge to gently glue a leaf onto the back of the jar/glass. I also took chalk label sticks and put them on the front so everyone could write their names. You can see how nice, simple and minimalistic this is, and you can glue multiple leaves or just one as I did. Or get creative and tie a ribbon around your glass or whatever else you can think of!
Build a leaf pile – this seems a bit of a no-brainer, but I didn't want to leave it out! This should be a fall activity for every kid! Get outside on that perfect fall day, rake, and gather up all the leaves in your yard and build the perfect pile to jump in! ( think a perfect Instagram Boomerang) If you don't have a large yard or a ton of leaves in your neck of the woods, perhaps ask a friend or relative to "borrow" their leaves? Or try your local park! Just get out there and jump in some leaves this fall!
Flag football or tag – a great outdoor activity for the kids or both the kids and you is to go out and play a game of flag football or tag, depending on the number of kids, ages and interest level. It's always fun to run around and play in the crisp autumn air and play a good game. You could even come up with a different game if you only have 1-2 kiddos or if they'd rather do something less physical.
Apple picking or pumpkin patch outing – one of the best parts of the fall season is the abundance of pumpkins, pumpkin patches and places to pick fruits like apples. These are great outings for the kids that are classic. Head out to your nearest pumpkin patch or be on the lookout for an apple orchard and enjoy some pickin's! Take your apples and bake an apple pie or apple muffins, carve up your pumpkins or make pumpkin cookies!
Biking and hiking – other classic and fun outdoor activities perfect for this time of the year is taking a scenic bike ride or a hike! Before it becomes too cold to be outside, take the opportunity to get the fam out and active! Enjoy a nice bike ride with the kiddos or challenge yourselves to an uphill hike. Whatever you do, just get out there and enjoy quality time together!
There are so many wonderful activities and alternative Halloween ideas to try this fall and I hope you enjoy the season!

I love the glitter leaves idea. I just found your blog. I can't wait to read your other post. Thank you for sharing.

In collaboration with HBO, Diageo is unveiling the new White Walker by Johnnie Walker Blended Scotch Whisky and The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection. The limited-edition whiskies are inspired by the iconic characters and the creative world of Westeros and beyond and are here to tide fans over during their wait for the eighth and final season.
House Tyrell of Highgarden rules over the Reach, the lush and fertile region of Westeros. Like the Reach, Clynelish is positioned among green pastures and rolling hills, with scenic views of the North Sea. This vibrant, golden Scotch is light and floral, like House Tyrell, it's not to be underestimated with its underlying complex combination of Highland and maritime qualities.
House Tully located at Riverrun, rules as the lord of e River lands. The power of water flows through both House Tully and e Singleton Glendullan Select as it is made on the banks of the River Fiddich in the wooded hills of Dufftown. Here they harnessed the water that flowed through the land utilizing a water wheel to power the entire distillery.

Compared to other states, Texas has some of the most lenient weapons possession laws. However, even with this leniency, people in Texas still have to adhere to weapons possession restrictions that are in place, or risk being in violation of the law. The penalties that can come with illegal weapon possession can be severe and potentially including hefty fines or even jail time in some circumstances.
When you are accused of violating Texas's weapons possession laws, you need a legal team on your side that can help you understand your options and protect your legal rights. The attorneys of Alexander & Associates understand how stressful these charges can be, and we help Lewisville residents stand up for their freedom when facing weapons possession charges.
These actions could qualify as violations of the state's firearm possession laws, despite Texas's relative tolerance regarding the purchase, sale, and possession of firearms.
If you or someone you know is facing weapon possession charges, the attorneys of Alexander & Associates can help you develop a strong legal strategy to defend yourself. Contact our offices today by calling (972) 420-6560 to learn about how we can help you fight these charges.

Fauna  is a Roman rustic goddess said in differing ancient sources to be the wife, sister, or daughter of Faunus (the Roman counterpart of Pan). Varro regarded her as the female counterpart of Faunus, and said that the fauni all had prophetic powers. She is also called Fatua or Fenta Fauna.

Name

Etymology
The name Fauna is a feminine form of Latin Faunus, the deity of the countryside. Faunus itself is generally thought to stem from Proto-Italic *fawe or *fawono, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰh₂u-n ('favourable'). Consequently, Georges Dumézil translated her name as "the Favourable."

In his conceptual approach to Roman deity, Michael Lipka sees Faunus and Fauna as an example of a characteristically Roman tendency to form gender-complementary pairs within a sphere of functionality. The male-female figures never have equal prominence, and one partner (not always the female) seems to have been modelled on the other. An Oscan dedication naming Fatuveís (= Fatui, genitive singular), found at Aeclanum in Irpinia, indicates that the concept is Italic. Fauna has also been dismissed as merely "an artificial construction of scholarly casuistics."

Ancient interpretations
Varro explained the role of Faunus and Fauna as prophetic deities:

Fauni are gods of the Latins, so that there is both a male Faunus and a female Fauna; there is a tradition that they used to speak of (fari) future events in wooded places using the verses they call 'Saturnians', and thus they were called  'Fauni'  from 'speaking' (fando).

Servius identifies Faunus with Fatuclus, and says his wife is Fatua or Fauna, deriving the names as Varro did from fari, "to speak," "because they can foretell the future." The early Christian author Lactantius called her Fenta Fauna and said that she was both the sister and wife of Faunus; according to Lactantius, Fatua sang the fata, "fates," to women as Faunus did to men. Justin said that Fatua, the wife of Faunus, "being filled with divine spirit assiduously predicted future events as if in a madness (furor)," and thus the verb for divinely inspired speech is fatuari.

While several etymologists in antiquity derived the names Fauna and Faunus from fari, "to speak," Macrobius regarded Fauna's name as deriving from faveo, favere, "to favor, nurture," "because she nurtures all that is useful to living creatures." According to Macrobius, the Books of the Pontiffs (pontificum libri) treated Bona Dea, Fauna, Ops, and Fatua as names for the same goddess, Maia.

Kevin A. KrakoraTurnaround Management Association
TMA President's Message Turnaround Management Association: Going Beyond the Ballroom
Kevin Krakora, Global President, Turnaround Management Association
Face-to-face meeting and networking will always form the backbone of what the Turnaround Management Association offers its members and those who attend chapter, regional and global events. The TMA also is striving to provide value to our members beyond the networking reception. I'd like to outline a few new initiatives that we have rolled out to our membership in the last year.
Digital Matchmaking for TMA Members
To help expand value beyond the ballroom, TMA launched a proprietary members-only digital platform offering peer-to-peer networking introductions called TMAConnect.
Each one-on-one introduction is specifically selected for each user based on responses to a series of simple questions. Based on your responses, our proprietary algorithms pair you with a fellow TMA member who matches the criteria you are looking for in an ideal networking connection. You will then receive an email introducing you to this person, allowing you to contact him or her on your own time. It only takes a few minutes to set up, and the more you use it, the more it learns about whom you're trying to meet — and who might want to meet you.
Activist Shareholder Video Series
TMA also is working to keep members up to date with hot industry topics. TMA will be launching a three-part video series on one of the most potentially volatile topics in business: activist shareholders.
The series will provide viewers a glimpse into every stage of the process: from a general overview of what activist investing means in today's business environment and how to manage activist investors, to contingency planning and how to control the message. Visit turnaround.org to purchase the series.
Face-to-Face Connections
In addition to the increased value offered outside of events, TMA Global continues to invest in our marquee in-person events. The 2018 TMA Annual, September 26 to 28 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, CO, will offer attendees myriad opportunities for face-to-face contact to strengthen existing business relationships and expand each of their networks. The many receptions, coffee breaks and informal gatherings during the conference are fertile grounds for networking.
This year's conference marks the 30th anniversary of The Annual and the TMA Hall of Fame induction. Every five years, TMA honors those whose outstanding individual contributions have made a lasting positive impact on an industry dedicated to stabilizing underperforming companies, rebuilding corporate value and retaining jobs. Nominations are open until April 27. Visit turnaround.org to nominate a colleague today.
TMA is the Gathering Place
I want to underscore that TMA was always, and con-tinues to be, the only association in our industry that brings all professionals and investors involved together in a single room.
This occurs because of the nature of our multidisciplinary membership which includes:
800 consultants/practitioners from 46 states/provinces and 490 firms
1,300 attorneys/legal from 46 states/provinces and 580 firms
340 lenders and investors from more than 34 states/provinces and 250 firms
In closing, I'd encourage those who haven't attend-ed a TMA event to give it a try. Chances are, you know a few existing members. Reach out to them and expand your network.
