Naked Interviews
Le Sex en Rose's interviews are friendly and smooth conversation, with just a bit of unusual: both the parties involved have no clothes on.
Because naked is honest: With no clothes on, there are no labels and status symbols defining a person. In this sense, nudity is also about equality.
Freed of clothing, hiding nothing physically from each other, people can also free up their minds and be mentally honest. The only way two naked people can know each other is starting a conversation and exchanging opinions.
Because naked is free, and this is probably the best way to face a topic which for a long time has been suffering from myths, misconceptions, fallacies and shame, and which needs to be freed from all this.

A seven-days long quickie (news): Beatles' sex life told by Paul McCartney, New York adds gender 'X'…

A brief overview of what's happened over the last week #InSearchOfPleasure.
The untold stories of Paul McCartney about Beatles' sex life
A post shared by GQ (@gq) on Sep 11, 2018 at 5:21am PDT
In an interview with GQ, on the occasion of the release of his new album Egypt Station, Paul McCartney revealed some stories about the sex life of the Beatles.
"was over at John's house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don't even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did."
"I think it was a one-off," said McCartney. "Or maybe it was like a two-off. It wasn't a big thing. But, you know, it was just the kind of thing you didn't think much of. It was just a group. Yeah, it's quite raunchy when you think about it. There's so many things like that from when you're a kid that you look back on and you're, 'Did we do that?' But it was good harmless fun. It didn't hurt anyone. Not even Brigitte Bardot."
Then he replied to a question about an old quote from John Lennon about orgies happened on tour.
"There weren't really orgies, to my knowledge. There were sexual encounters of the celestial kind, and there were groupies. The nearest it got… See, this is my experience, because I'm just not into orgies. I don't want anyone else there, personally. It ruins it! I would think—I've never actually done it. Didn't appeal to me, the idea. There was once when we were in Vegas where the tour guy, a fixer, said, 'You're going to Vegas, guys—you want a hooker?' We were all, 'Yeah!' And I requested two. And I had them, and it was a wonderful experience. But that's the closest I ever came to an orgy.

32 years later, Playboy Club returns to New York
A post shared by Playboy Club NYC (@playboyclubnyc) on Aug 22, 2018 at 12:02pm PDT
New York has his Playboy Club and bunnies back. The first Playboy club opened in Chicago in 1960, followed by the second one in New York, two years later, and other 28 clubs around the world that remained popular and lucrative until the 1980s when Los Angeles Times headline read "Bunnies Go From Risque to Passe". It was 1986, the year the Los Angeles and New York clubs closed. By 1991, all the clubs were defunct. Throughout the years, the empire of the silk-pajama-wearing man claiming of leading a sexual revolution has been attacked for sexism, misogyny, objectification. The Playboy Club rebirth sounds quite anachronistic in this #MeToo era, in a city that, as the Independent wrote, "began the year with hundreds of thousands of women taking to the streets to protest the presidency of Donald Trump, in part because of remarks he made that were perceived as chauvinistic."

The Vaginismus Awareness Day
A post shared by Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium (@shwomenstore) on Sep 15, 2018 at 1:50am PDT
If the Vaginismus Awareness Day is a thing is only thanks to the London erotic emporium Sh! that created it on the 15th of September 2015. It's a necessary awareness campaign since Vaginismus continues to be stigmatized, like every other condition related to the vagina. A lot of people just don't know about it and many women are too afraid to talk about it and seek medical attention. That's why every year Sh! hosts an awareness event in store held by a sex & relationship therapist and Renée Denyer, senior store manager and sexuality educator at Sh!

To assist commemorate creating significantly more as opposed to 85 mil trucks over a fabulous century, Chevy is usually introducing an exclusive edition regarding the 2018 Silverado half-ton coupled with Colorado trucks.
That renowned Chevy likewise receives a good throwback transformation for 2018, recalling typically the initial layout created by Chevrolet co-founder William in late 1913. Your bowtie would wear a throwback color called Centennial Glowing blue, which complements this paint color available on previous Chevy trucks. The actual dark blue color is the fresh paint color chosen concerning this Chevrolet Silverado Centennial Editions not to mention Colorado Centennial Versions.

Which means it includes four doorways and also room for five various as well as six folks, according to the front seat configuration. The body is going to wear that special Centennial Azure paint and possesses chrome details that come with typically the part looking glass caps, entrance moldings, door manages, pull hook varieties, grille places, coupled with that heart portion for any fender. The unique darker grey 22-inch also provide chrome card inserts, on this heart cover, and this five lug nut products. They are available wrapped in all-landscape tires, too.

Minivans are historically the most versatile and family-friendly vehicles on the block, and the 2016 model year proves them to be more versatile than ever! With all-new body styles, never-before-seen technology features, and reassuring safety features, minivans are not what they used to be! Getting excited about choosing which minivan is the best option for you and your family? Make sure you make the right choice, first. Today at Benson Honda we are comparing two award-winning new minivans in San Antonio: the 2016 Odyssey and the 2016 Town and Country!
The top reason you're getting a minivan (aside from flexibility) is the incredible safety ratings they are said to have. Like everything else, some have better ratings than others and in this case it's the 2016 Odyssey. The Odyssey has a perfect overall 5-star crash safety rating in the NHTSA front crash test while the 2016 Town and Country only received 4 stars. In addition to the NHTSA test, the Odyssey scored a "Good" rating in the IIHS small overlap crash test. The Town and Country? A "Poor" rating. We could tell you which one we'd want our family riding in – the 2016 Honda Odyssey!
The Odyssey isn't just incredibly safe, it's proven to be more powerful and more reliable than the 2016 Town and Country! J.D Power and Associates' 2015 Initial Quality Study of new cars ranked Honda 14th in initial quality and Chrysler is ranked 31st. Plus, the Odyssey has a 5-year corrosion warranty with unlimited miles but the Chrysler van's corrosion warranty runs out after 100,000 miles. Lastly, The Odyssey is faster than the Town and Country, going from zero to 60 MPH in just 7.4 seconds, compared to the Town and Country's 8.1 seconds.
One really helpful feature on the Odyssey, especially if you have children, is the ability to roll a window up or down with the button on the keyless remote. That way, if windows are left down, instead of restarting the car or having to back to it, you can roll them up from a distance. The Town and Country minivan does not offer this feature. The Town and Country also doesn't offer the standard fuel-locking door like the Odyssey, or the center folding armrest, standard smartphone integration, a HondaVAC or power tailgate! With the Odyssey, you're getting significantly more features.
Those points just about sum up the comparison of these two new minivans in San Antonio, and we'd choose the 2016 Odyssey over the 2016 Town and Country any day! Do you agree? Stop by Benson Honda to see how else the Odyssey can impress you!
A few HondaVAC pictures from the manufacturer's creative Twitter marketing campaign.
When it comes to social media, some companies just get it. Honda is definitely one of those companies. They recently reached out to a number of food companies on Twitter, letting them know that their crumbs are no match for the 2014 Honda Odyssey HondaVAC, an industry-first, in-vehicle vacuum found in the back of the new Odyssey.
Hopefully you never end up in this situation, but if you do, the Honda Odyssey is capable of keeping you safe.
Edmunds voted the Honda CR-V as the best bet for a used compact SUV/crossover.
Implemented in the 2014 Honda Odyssey, the HondaVAC is an industry-first feature. It works just like it sounds. It's an in-car vacuum system located in a back storage compartment which makes it much more convenient to clean up after the kids. Gone are the days of putting 50 cents into those sticky-hosed vacuums at the car wash. The HondaVac is even capable of running for a period of eight minutes when the engine is off. As this is a feature that can only be found in the 2014 Honda Odyssey, the manufacturer is really pushing out the advertisements for it. We don't have a problem with that because most of the 2014 Odyssey HondaVAC ads are pretty entertaining.
Side-curtain airbags have been included in every row of every Honda vehicle since 2008.
The Odyssey passed the small overlap front test with the highest possible rating.

Tag: Cllr Phil Davies
Will Cllr Phil Davies weaken greenbelt planning policy to help planning permission for Hoylake Golf Resort?
Cllr Phil Davies speaking at a meeting of Wirral's councillors earlier this year (6th March 2017)
Earlier this month I wrote about the Strategic Regeneration Framework consultation which includes the Hoylake Golf Resort project.
A week tomorrow (2nd October 2017) Wirral Council's Cabinet meets in Committee Room 1 at Wallasey Town Hall starting at 10.00 am. On the agenda is a report in Cllr Phil Davies' name to Cabinet that recommends not only is the new Strategic Regeneration Framework agreed as policy but also recommends to Council that the Strategic Regeneration Framework is adopted as a "material planning consideration" and that it's used in the Core Strategy Local Plan.
So what does this mean? If the Strategic Regeneration Framework (which includes the Hoylake Golf Resort project) is adopted as a planning policy by Wirral Council, then this will be a material consideration in favour of approving any future planning application for the Hoylake Golf Resort that the Planning Committee will decide upon.
At the moment due to the greenbelt nature of the site proposed for the Hoylake Golf Resort, Wirral Council's planning policies only allow development in "very special circumstances".

What's going on at Wirral Council?
Madam Mayor and Surjit Tour (Annual Council) Meeting (Wirral Council) 16th May 2017
And so did councillors gather and the meeting got to "Leader's Announcement", otherwise known as the gospel according to Cllr Phil Davies.
Cllr Phil Davies gave a prayer of thanks for Councillor Jeff Green and asked for his appreciation to be recorded.
He set out his priorities for the next year which of course include the 2020 pledges.
Three new Cabinet portfolios would be created, "Delivering Differently", "Transformation" and "Finance and Regeneration".
However "issues" had arisen in Children's Services according to Phil. The Director of Children's Services had resigned and his Cabinet Member had "stepped down" which Phil felt was the "right decision".
Cllr Phil Davies continued, but as this is an election period, we have to provide some political balance on this blog.
But before that, some words from someone who isn't allowed to be party political Madam Mayor. She was asked why she decided to stop around sixty councillors from speaking on this topic towards the end of the meeting.
Madam Mayor said, "Council, I have exercised at my discretion, I do not have to explain that to you! I've accepted it. You or any other Member of the Council, this is how we will proceed now.
This is going to be the order of speakers, Group Leader for the Conservative Group Cllr Ian Lewis (5 minutes), Group Leader for the Liberal Democrat Group Cllr Phil Gilchrist (5 minutes), Deputy Group Leader for the Conservative Group Cllr Lesley Rennie (3 minutes), the spokesperson for the Liberal Democrat Group Cllr Alan Brighouse (3 minutes), the Cabinet Member for Children and Family Services Cllr Bernie Mooney (3 minutes), the Leader of the Council Cllr Phil Davies (5 minutes)."
Cllr Ian Lewis said he had, "no faith whatsoever that the lessons have been learned or that this department is being well-led" and went on to say, "Madam Mayor, it is our view that such is the chaos in this department, that expecting this problem to be managed in-house is no longer feasible. Nor is it acceptable to expect unelected individuals to manage the department under the guise of an Improvement Board that meets in secret.
Extra support and guidance to this Council is required. Not one person on this Council can hold the Improvement Board to account in public. That is not good enough!
For that reason Madam Mayor, the Conservative Group will be asking for government intervention as we've seen in other failing authorities with similar cases as we've seen in the Liverpool Echo and other media over the last 48 hours.
Madam Mayor, whether this happens or not, the Conservative Group will not sit quietly while those in authority such as Cllr Davies utter platitudes and wring their hands. We will hold this administration to account, before, during and after the serious case review and at every opportunity from now on."
Cllr Phil Gilchrist said, "The minutes of the Improvement Board are available in public on the Council's website if Members wish to look for them. They record the contributions of Members I think fairly and accurately.
I do think that the Chair Eleanor Brazil is determined that things should improve and is keeping a very weather eye on it. I'm not in the business of rocking the boat when work is in hand and in progress. The issue is that the work is in progress, but incomplete."

Why did a councillor refer to NHS Plan for cuts as a "PR disaster"?
Before I write about what happened at Monday's People Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Cllr Phil Davies shut down any debate and ruled that he wasn't allowing the public to speak at an earlier public meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board (which he chairs) on the Sustainability and Transformation Plan.
Protest outside Wallasey Town Hall side door 28th November 2016 38 Degrees Wirral West over NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plan
Protest outside Wallasey Town Hall 28th November 2016 Green Party over NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plan
Prior to the People and Overview Scrutiny Committee starting there were two protests at ways in to Wallasey Town Hall (photos above). Apologies for the poor quality of the photos!
The Sustainability and Transformation Plan is published on the Wirral CCG website or alternatively you can watch the video of the meeting (which contains a long presentation by the NHS followed by discussion by councillors).
Video of the People Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Wirral Council) NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plan starting at the 6m35s point)
I'll try to sum up what this means in a nutshell. If you look beyond the fancy words, glossy brochures in essence it's a plan for NHS cuts (that is if the plan is implemented people will lose their job).
In addition to that with such a radical reorganisation of how NHS services are delivered locally proposed, services to the general public are also likely to be altered too.
Before a decision is made there will have to be a formal consultation with the public.
I've been asked to decipher what decision the People Overview and Scrutiny Committee made on the STP Plan.
However councillors do have a scrutiny role over matters such as this. To give an example, the move of some of the functions of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology to a new hospital in Liverpool from 2019 was rubber stamped by a scrutiny committee made up of councillors from the affected areas. The impact on thousands of Wirral patients and the consultation was reported previously on this blog.
This is what was agreed by councillors (although some voted against) at the People Overview and Scrutiny Committee (followed by my analysis of what it means).
The People Overview and Scrutiny Committee thank Phil Meaken for attending the meeting and presenting the key points of the Sustainability and Transformation Plan.
The Committee is concerned that elected Members [councillors] have had no opportunity to feed into the development of the STP, nor have they been given the opportunity to see the plan before it was published on the 23rd of November.
The Committee is also concerned by any lack of meaningful consultation with the public of Wirral prior to the publication of the Plan.
As a result of the failure by authors of the Plan to engage with local authorities in Cheshire and Merseyside Committee is concerned at the high level of anxiety and speculation of the implications for the future delivery of health services on the Wirral which the Plan has generated.
The Committee further notes that though there is very little detail included, many of the proposals would represent a significant variation in service delivery and would therefore need to be presented for scrutiny to this Committee and possibly a pan-Merseyside and Cheshire Committee before any proposals could be implemented.
The Committee does not believe that Wirral Council can agree to the STP without absolute clarity on the proposal and a meaningful process of consultation, that engages with elected Members [councillors] and local residents.
My analysis is briefly this, consultation on the Plan was going to happen and if the result of the Plan is to change how local services are delivered, the pan-Merseyside and Cheshire Committee would happen too any way. For whatever reason politicians are agreeing to steps that would happen in any event.
Obviously there is a lot of concern as to what the impact will be for staff and patients of the NHS.

Liberal Democrat Leader Cllr Phil Gilchrist calls for cross-party unity on Wirral Council on issue of EU funding withdrawal
Below is an email from Cllr Phil Gilchrist (Liberal Democrat Leader on Wirral Council) to Cllr Phil Davies (Leader of Wirral Council).
It asks for a unified cross-party approach on Wirral Council to the issue of EU funding if the UK withdraws from the EU.
Cllr Phil Davies did make some remarks at the start of the Cabinet meeting this morning, but the video is yet to upload at the time of writing.
Cllr Phil Gilchrist (Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group) speaking at the Extraordinary meeting of Wirral Council on the 4th of April 2016
From: Gilchrist, Phil N. (Councillor) <philgilchrist@wirral.gov.uk>
Sent: 25 June 2016 14:40
To: Davies, Phil L (Councillor) <phildavies@wirral.gov.uk>
Good afternoon Phil
I have begun to pick myself up after the outcome of the Referendum, an outcome neither of us desired.
However the result is what it is and I've no idea when the Government will set Article 50 in motion.
In the meantime I would welcome any briefing papers you can supply on the on the European funding stream that exist currently
I expect there will be streams we have expected and planned / hoped for and still are working to gain for Wirral and the region.
I say working to gain as I feel we have to start work on this!
With Cabinet coming up on Monday morning I expect you will want to address this, possibly under any other business / urgency.
Thinking on these lines would suggest that a statement to Cabinet, a referral or Motion to Council might run along these lines…
Council/Cabinet recognises that funding is currently available for a range of projects, training and investments to support our local and regional economy.
Council is, as with many other bodies, is uncertain on how the funding streams might be replaced, and when but believe arrangements must be made to
secure equivalent replacement funding.
Council therefore calls on the present Government to clarify the situation, offer certainty to our region, and continue the programmes as
envisaged. Council asks for assurances that the UK Government and any successor will match pound for pound any funding stream that are now at risk as a result of the Referendum.
Ideally each group on the Council would accept a formula to present a united approach from Wirral and the region. I would be happy to develop the wording in consultation.
. At various times in the recent campaign various 'Leave' people suggested that money would be 'freed' for the NHS, Agriculture, etc.
I cannot recall seeing whether 'regional' aid got the same treatment!
I will be home on 334 1923 on Sunday evening if you would like to have a word.

Wirral Council valued Girtrell Court land and buildings at £3,402,880.00 in March 2013
Cllr Phil Davies (Leader of the Labour Group) speaking about Girtrell Court at the Extraordinary Council meeting (4th April 2016)
One of the questions raised during the consultation on the closure of Girtrell Court was what would happen to it if it was closed. Wirral Council's Director of Adult Social Services Graham Hodkinson told the Liverpool Echo last year that the Girtrell Court site could be used for extra care housing, "There is an increasing demand for extra care housing and the site of Girtrell Court is ideally suited for this purpose which will help support the aging population whilst delivering financial benefits to the council."
The 2012/13 asset register assigns a value to the buildings of £2,422,880.00 and land of £980,000.00 (total £3,402,880.00) valued on the 11th March 2013 (as part of its regular quinquennial or five yearly valuation).
Wirral Council's valuation of Girtrell Court was provided in response to a Freedom of Information request made by well-known former Conservative councillor Ian Lewis for Wirral Council's asset register.
Wirral Council's first response was to refuse Ian Lewis' request on grounds of commercial confidentiality.

Sally Yates: Trump used DOJ "as a cudgel against his enemies"
Fadel Allassan
Sally Yates. Photo: Paul Morigi/Getty Images for Fortune
Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates accused President Trump of using the Justice Department "as a cudgel against his enemies and as a shield for himself and his allies" in a Washington Post op-ed Friday.
Why it matters: Yates served in the DOJ under President Obama and stayed on as a holdover as acting attorney general until she was fired less than two weeks into Trump's presidency for refusing to implement the president's travel ban.
She testified in 2017 that she warned White House counsel that former national security adviser Michael Flynn misled officials about his discussions with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition.
What she's saying:
"President Trump has attempted to use the Justice Department as a cudgel against his enemies and as a shield for himself and his allies."
"The president has attempted to order up investigations of his perceived political enemies and enlist the department to protect his friends. With every blow, the wall of Justice independence has wobbled a bit more. This week, it teetered on the verge of collapse."
On the Justice Department's reversal of its sentencing recommendation for Trump associate Roger Stone, Yates wrote: "This is not how the department is supposed to operate. Back-and-forth between prosecutors and department leadership about a high-profile matter is not itself unusual. But for Justice leadership to order the reversal of a publicly filed sentencing recommendation in a politically sensitive case is unprecedented."
She continued: "Regardless of whether the decision to reverse the prosecutors was made before the president tweeted, action in anticipation of the president's reaction is as dangerous as action in response to it."
The bottom line: "The Justice Department is not a tool of any president to be used for retribution or camouflage. In all of government, the Justice Department uniquely functions in a trusted bond with Americans to dispense justice without fear or favor."

Ukrainians set to arrive in N.L., seeking refuge from war
Ukrainians fleeing the conflict in their home country are making their way to Newfoundland and Labrador on Monday. (Andrew Furey/Twitter)
It was less than a month after Russia invaded Ukraine when Kelly Power got a message from an old friend asking if she'd take in her 16-year-old brother — if he could make it to Newfoundland.
The boy was in Ukraine, and his sister was trying to get him out. She'd lived in Newfoundland and worked with Power at a pharmacy four years before. They got along and stayed friends, even after the sister moved away.
Power, 52, said she didn't think twice about agreeing to take the boy in.
"If I said no, he wouldn't have anywhere to go," she said in a recent interview with the Canadian Press. "I was his way out."
The teenager is now scheduled to arrive in St. John's on Monday, aboard a plane from Poland chartered by the provincial government and carrying up to 175 Ukrainian refugees.
The flight is part of a massive effort led by the provincial government and buoyed by a network of unaffiliated volunteers — and people like Power — who are working to bring Ukrainians to Canada's easternmost province and ensure they're safe, housed and cared for.
Newfoundland and Labrador opened a satellite office in Warsaw, Poland in March to help Ukrainians fleeing Russian attacks resettle in the province, beating Ottawa to the punch by almost two months.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday the federal government would open an office in Warsaw to help Ukrainians come to Canada, and made a surprise visit to the capital city of Kyiv on Sunday to formally reopen the Canadian Embassy.
Newfoundland and Labrador Immigration Minister Gerry Byrne insists the plane arriving Monday is the first government-chartered flight to bring Ukrainian refugees to Canada. His department had not confirmed how many would be on board as of Sunday evening, but a spokesperson said Friday 175 was the "working number."
Preparing for arrival and sending aid
Power gets emotional as she talks about the teenager arriving Monday — whose name The Canadian Press has agreed not to publish — and all of the things he'll need: clothes, bedding, help with his English and friends.
She said his sister worked hard with the team at the Newfoundland and Labrador office in Warsaw to get him a visa, a passport and a way out of Ukraine and into Poland to make the flight.
The trip to St. John's will be difficult, Power said: he's leaving his parents behind, as well as his dog. He's never been on a plane and he only just turned 16.
Adilya Dragan was preparing a box of clothes and supplies for the teenager on Friday afternoon.

Now, the group is also dedicated to helping the refugees who will arrive on Monday's flight.
Dragan said she receives dozens of Facebook messages every hour from Ukrainians and those looking to help them. She's built a spreadsheet tracking the Ukrainians who've contacted her to say they're on Monday's flight, and matching them with volunteers offering furniture, clothes or a place to live. Several rooms of her home are overrun with piles of donated supplies, and she's arranged public drop-off sites where more stuff awaits.
Dragan and her team of volunteers are putting together boxes of clothes, shoes, food, toiletries, dishes and dish soap, and they'll be at the airport Monday with a customized package for everyone on her list, and other items for everyone else on the plane.
"We'll have a billboard and some brochures," she said. "And once the people come out, we will be greeting them in Ukrainian and handing them out information so they can reach out to us and tell us what they need."
Dragan said she's been overwhelmed with people in St. John's offering help, though more volunteers, supplies and donations are always needed.
"People are great here," she said. "I love Newfoundlanders; they are the greatest people. You cannot find these people anywhere else in the world."
The mother of three has her own full-time job, and she said all the work sending aid to Ukraine and prepping for the refugees' arrival has become a second full-time job.
"My husband, he has family in Ukraine, and my best friend is Ukrainian," Dragan explained. "I just want to help."
Sharing advice
Meanwhile, a woman from Irpin, a suburb just outside of Ukraine's capital of Kyiv, has some advice for those landing in St. John's on Monday.
Galyna Velychko knows first-hand what it was like to uproot her life and flee for safety after spending the early days of the Russian invasion debating whether or not to leave.
She told CBC News as Russian tanks began to descend on neighbouring Bucha, about 30 kilometres west of Kyiv, she made a break for the Polish border.
"It was a really hard decision and she's still experiencing post-traumatic stress. She's crying every day. She's seeing her house in her dreams," said her daughter, Nadiya Butt-Velychko, acting as a translator during the interview.
"It's terrible. It's really difficult. But she's hoping for better. She made this decision to come here for her own sake, for her mental health, to just try to recoup and try to get as much as possible a stress-free life."

Galyna Velychko has since been living in Harbour Grace for about a month, a place her daughter has called home for years.
She said the adjustment hasn't been easy and was devastated to learn her community, home and workplace was destroyed.
Since landing in Newfoundland, Galyna Velychko began meeting people in Harbour Grace, started to learn English and even landed a job at a local grocery store.
Her daughter said she was proactive within her first week in Harbour Grace, which allowed her mother to move forward with her life rather than thinking about home.
Galyna Velychko offers advice for other Ukrainian newcomers arriving later on Monday: Don't be discouraged.
"It will be hard at first, but just think back to Ukraine and think of the people fighting there and people staying there. It's much harder for them. Eventually, it will be better."
A part of the community
The flight carrying about 175 Ukrainians seeking safety and shelter in Newfoundland and Labrador is slated to land in St. John's Monday evening.
It marks the first government-led arrival since the province set up office in Poland in mid-March to attract those fleeing the conflict.
Byrne said the flight represents a "cross-section" of Ukraine, with single mothers, grandparents and more making their way to Newfoundland soil. Some on the flight are hitting the ground running and will be heading to their newly obtained jobs as early as Tuesday morning, said Byrne.
"We've really worked to develop a positive, confident, trusting relationship with those who are coming. It was never simply a matter of 'fill out a form and we'll get you on a flight,'" he said.
"We want them to be successful when the arrive. We want them to feel at home and we want them to be part of our community and our neighbourhoods immediately."
Short-term accommodations are in place, Byrne said, but he's asking residents to give the new arrivals time and a "reasonable amount of space" after just fleeing their war-torn homes.
"Give them that respect," he said.
Byrne said the travellers will be met by Canada Border Services, public health officials, the provincial office of immigration and the Association for New Canadians and its team of volunteers upon arrival.

Add Character to Your Mix with an Aural Exciter
An Exciter is a processing technique used to enhance an audio signal by dynamic equalization, phase manipulation, harmonic synthesis of high-frequency signals, and through the addition of subtle harmonic distortion. In the past, engineers and producers have used the Exciter to bring out vocals, and on various instruments. It's at the heart of great-sounding mixes in rock, pop, jazz, classical and every other genre of modern music. Check out the following tutorial to learn how to add character to your mix with an Aural Exciter!
Tube Powered Sound
When it comes to software emulations of famous analog hardware audio processors, one plugin definitely stands out from the rest. Aphex Aural Exciter by Waves is, without any doubt a faithful emulation of its hardware predecessor. The original Aphex Aural Exciter was highly regarded for its ability to increase and enhance presence, brightness, and vibrancy on vocal and instrument tracks alike. In the next tutorial, we will analyze the plugin mentioned above and give you some ideas so you can get the best of it.
On the far left side, we can see a mode switch. The first of the mode is "BP," and it stands for bypass. Therefore In this mode, you won't hear any significant change in sound. It is instead modeling the bypass mode of the original hardware, which gives a specific character to the sound by coloring it subtly, just like the real hardware unit.
Furthermore, by checking the far right side of the mode section, you'll find the "AX" mode. This mode is suitable for the send/return. This is, therefore, an excellent option for automating the send to change the effect throughout the track. However, in this mode, the "AX MIX" is automatically set to the maximum level, and it's not possible to change that.
Moving forward, the "MIX2" mode can be used as an insert because it recreates the hardware unit mix mode for that exact purpose.
If you want to get the same effect as "AX MIX" but on the insert, try to use the "MIX1" mode. This mode is an insert that recreates the hardware unit send/return mode. Consequently, it faithfully emulates the hardware unit effect.
Practical Examples
After introducing you to the main parameters of the Aphex Aural Exciter, let us switch to the practical examples. For this reason, I made a short loop in SoundBridge, which includes drums, bass, kalimba, and vocal phrase. So let's listen to it without any processing.
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-1-Full-loop-without-processing.wav
~Full loop without processing
Basically, we can hear that the Vocal, Kalimba, and the Guitar are sounding pretty muffled and lifeless. Let's try fixing the vocal first. For the vocal processing, I will select " MIX1" mode with high input and low output settings. AX MIX parameter is also set to high. Let us hear how the vocals sound with and without processing.
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-2-Vocal-without-processing.wav
~Vocal without processing
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-3-Vocal-with-Aphex.wav
~Vocal with Aphex
Of course, there is a massive difference in terms of clarity and sonic character.
Kalimba instrument processing
Pursuing this further, Kalimba is a bell-like instrument which resonates in both high and mid frequencies of the sound spectrum. We will enhance its clarity and character with Aphex Aural Exciter. Let us listen to it before and after processing.
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-4-Kalimba-without-processing.wav
~Kalimba without processing
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-5-Kalimba-with-Aphex.wav
~Kalimba with Aphex
Again we can hear that Aphex introduced a lot of character to the sound. In short, it brought this sound back to life.
Guitar sound processing
For the final example, I will process a guitar sound with Aphex Aural Exciter since it sounds a bit boxy.
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-6-Guitar-without-processing.wav
~Guitar without processing
https://soundbridge.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Audio-example-7-Guitar-with-Aphex.wav
~Guitar with Aphex Aural Exciter
In the final analysis, after listening to the changes in the sound, you can notice plenty of mid frequencies boosting. In this case, this is exactly what this guitar riff needed to become more present in the mix.
To conclude, Aphex Aural Exciter really adds character, clarity, slight distortion, and compression to everything it processes. In essence, It is a great tool that I highly recommend. With this in mind, let's listen to the full mix without and with Aphex Aural Exciter instrument processing.

Is Riverdale's FBI Agent A Ghost?
Story from TV Shows
Is Riverdale's FBI Agent Actually A Ghost?
Kaitlin Reilly
Photo: Courtesy of The CW
Does Archie (K.J. Apa) see dead people? The more time he spends with FBI Agent Arthur Adams (John Behlmann) the more I'm convinced that Archie's got a supernatural power even he doesn't know about.
In season 2, Archie is confronted by Agent Adams to investigate his girlfriend's dad, Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos). This makes absolutely zero sense, for several reasons: Archie is a teenager, has zero real way to infiltrate Hiram's business dealings, and has no reason to aid in this investigation in the first place, save for Adams' general promise that his dad Fred (Luke Perry) will be "protected." (Umm, but protected from what?!?)
Some fans think it's possible that Archie is actually imagining the FBI Agent — and that Arthur Adams, who just so happens to have the same exact initials as Archie, doesn't even exist. That could make sense (in a TV universe, anyway) as Archie was traumatised by all the Black Hood stuff. Maybe an FBI Agent watching over Riverdale was one way for Archie to cope with all the drama.
However, it's not the only explanation for why Archie is the only person around when Agent Adams is. What if Adams is actually a straight-up ghost, and Archie is the only person who can see him?
This might sound like a ridiculous fan theory, and uh, it could very well be one. But let's not forget that ghosts do hang out in Riverdale from time to time. In the episode "Tales From the Darkside," Archie sees what appears to be a ghost of a deer: The carcass of the animal is then shown on the back of a pickup truck. It's a small moment, but it could, potentially, be foreshadowing some greater power that Archie has yet to discover.
It's also not the only instance of supernatural rumblings on Riverdale. For one thing, Riverdale exists in the same universe as Greendale, the town from comic book The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, in which supernatural stuff is commonplace. (A TV series based on the comic, penned by Riverdale show runner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, is in the works at Netflix.) We have also seen Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) have visions of her dead brother Jason (Trevor Stines). It's even implied that Nana Blossom (Barbara Wallace) has some witchy powers of her own.
Now let's go back to everything we know about Arthur Adams. It's not much, but we do know that he grew up in Riverdale. The town is pretty small, and it's suggested that people don't tend to leave that often. Assuming Adams is being honest here, why wouldn't he run into some old friends in town, who could help him with his case? Maybe it's because he's not alive.
Dun dun duuuuuuunnnnnnn.
Look, I know what we're all thinking: If anyone was going to see dead people on Riverdale, it would be omnipresent narrator and self-proclaimed weirdo Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). But hey, anything is possible in this town, right?

Source: www.sfgate.com, April 22nd, 1999.
A day after the massacre at Colorado's Columbine High School, Bay Area students were appalled -- not only at the senselessness of the tragedy, but at media coverage they say unfairly disparaged the Goth subculture.
But local Goths call the association misleading and just plain wrong. They say the two teens were simply mentally disturbed.
Several Berkeley High students who gathered yesterday in Martin Luther King Jr. Park between classes accused the media of exploiting the Goth subculture for the sake of a good headline.
For the Berkeley High students, the two suspects in Colorado were just a lot of youth trends and fascinations gathered under a single umbrella.
Some members of the clique that called itself the Trenchcoat Mafia have worn Gothlike black clothes to school every day. Others have mixed homegrown white supremacy with a fascination with Nazism and paramilitary hardware. Still others have spent enormous amounts of time online and had their own Web pages.
With their haunted look and other-worldly makeup, Goths may look startling, but most say their attire does not reflect a love of violence. To most Goths, their brand of rebellion is an introverted, artistic turn away from materialism and conformity, not a campaign to collect weapons and kill people.
Inspired by Gothic artists and authors from centuries ago, members of the Goth subculture turn to fashion, music, art and literature to explore themes of death, pain and isolation. The scene was born in the early '80s as a fusion of glam rock and punk, and it has undergone a national resurgence in the '90s, led by cities such as San Francisco and New York.
Mainstream rock stars from Madonna to Jewel have adopted Goth motifs. Marilyn Manson also has borrowed heavily from the Goth world, as have many prominent fashion designers and screenwriters.
The teenagers said they often have played the ``Vampire'' game and have never seen any violent behavior. ``There are the occasional nuts who think they're vampires, but they don't hurt anyone,'' said Jessie, shaking her head in disgust.

Pharrell: I'm Releasing A New Solo Album, But I Won't Rap On It
PHARRELL SAYS HE WILL NOT RAP ON HIS NEW ALBUM, TRIES TO GET CLIPSE TO DO DOUBLE ALBUM
(AllHipHop News) It seems not too long ago that Pharrell was rapping "When I finger f*ck the track it caress the gift" on his 2006 Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama. Seven years later and Pharrell is working on a new solo album with one change: he won't be rapping.
In an interview with Complex, the man with the producer's golden touch revealed that he is indeed working on a follow up to his 2006 debut solo album In My Mind, however age has halted his desire to rap:
No rapping. It's focused. Like I told you, that's the difference between 30 and 40. 'Cause I was 30, now I'm 40—and I'm not rapping.
Pharrell has also been up to his usual music curation moves behind the scenes with Pusha T recently telling BBC Radio One's Zane Lowe about Skateboard P's idea of The Clipse doing a Speakerboxx/Love Below-type album. Quoting Pharrell, Pusha explained Pharrell's idea:
'I think we should do a two sided [album]'. You do what you do, he do what he do, and that's what we do.'
There is no tentative release date for Pharrell's as-of-yet untitled sophomore solo album.

Corruption: it's still business as usual, NDDC just bought 8 vehicles for N560m – Buhari's adviser
The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), on Thursday, said corruption was omnipresent in the country with all segments being affected.
He specifically indicted the Niger Delta Development Commission and the Nigeria Customs Service which he said are still enmeshed in corruption even under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sagay said these in his opening remarks at the National Dialogue on Corruption organised by PACAC at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said with all the financial difficulties Nigeria was going through, the NDDC recently bought over 70 cars that included eight super Lexus that cost N70m each.
He said despite the purchase, the commission's Managing Director claimed that the NDDC lacks fund to carry out its responsibilities. On the Nigerian Customs Service, Sagay said, "There is no difference in Customs since May 29, 2015.
If you go to Tin Can Island, it is business as usual." Describing corruption as a national tragedy, Sagay wondered why a person will loot what he cannot spend in 10 lifetimes and expose others to poverty. Crdt: Punchng

Q: python - write to txt file. the problem: some file names are ok, some file names get error for example:

Code with good name:

the result:

Code with bad name:

the result:

A: That's because \t means ASCII tab. Use r strings instead.
More info on both things on https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html

A: Try using raw strings for your variables, r"H:\testdata.txt" and r"H:\datatest.txt" or you can escape the backslashes like so "H:\\testdata.txt" and "H:\\datatest.txt".

CrossBoundary Energy receives US$16.5mn commitment from ARCH EM Partners
Funding enables the ongoing expansion of CrossBoundary Energy's Commercial & Industrial solar services and is first stage of larger transaction to scale solar for businesses across Africa
CrossBoundary Energy is currently operating or delivering more than 26MW of fully financed solar PV projects for over 20 customers across 7 countries in Africa
ARCH Emerging Markets Partners' Africa Renewable Power Fund (ARCH ARPF) today announced its commitment to fund CrossBoundary Energy (CBE) with up to US$16.5M in equity funding to develop and finance new Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar assets that will provide businesses across Africa with access to cheaper, cleaner power. This commitment represents the first stage of a larger transaction under finalisation by CrossBoundary Energy to scale solar for business across Africa.
The announcement comes as the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a strong acceleration in the global adoption of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) solutions. The IEA report, Renewables 2019, forecasts that distributed solar PV will account for almost half of the near-term growth in the overall solar PV market, with global installed capacity expected to increase by over 250% by 2024. The IEA also notes that the rapid growth is being driven by a continuing decline in system costs, allowing solar to generate greater savings on corporate customers' electricity bills.
CBE has pioneered the solar-as-a-service business model in Africa, through which corporate customers avoid upfront capital expenditure and instead enter into long-term solar service agreements. Under these agreements, CBE, in partnership with local developers and solar contractors, finances, installs and operates solar assets that provide customers with cleaner and cheaper power. CBE has already developed landmark projects in Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, and Nigeria, with its clients including Unilever, Diageo, Heineken, Actis and leading, local companies. This additional funding will allow CBE to reach new markets and customers across Africa and deploy solar PV and battery storage solutions that reduce energy costs, improve power reliability and lower carbon emissions.
Pieter Joubert, Chief Investment Officer, CrossBoundary Energy says, "Partnering with an industry leading investor like ARCH ARPF highlights the proven viability of captive commercial and industrial solar projects in Africa. We're very excited to work with ARCH ARPF to continue providing Africa's leading businesses with cheaper, cleaner, more reliable power at no upfront cost. This commitment by ARCH ARPF represents the first phase of a larger transaction which will allow us to take the C&I sector to scale across Africa, and in doing so reduce energy costs for our customers, create additional jobs within the solar sector, and significantly reduce carbon emissions."
William Barry, Managing Director, ARCH ARPF, says, "The off-grid segment is an important component of our African renewable power mandate as businesses and retail consumers alike seek reliable, cost-effective solutions to their electricity needs. Within this market, ARCH ARPF aims to partner with strong management teams and invest in scalable business models that offer compelling alternatives to their customers, including in the C&I space. Now that companies recognize the attractive project economics of distributed solar PV, we are confident that CBE's pipeline of projects will accelerate, and are delighted to be supporting their industry-leading management team as they expand their footprint across the continent."


Some of the runroo girls joined All Women Ultra Marathon 2012. From then on, we're a fan! So we'd been really looking forward to AWUM 2013 since last year. It's the reason why runroo's facebook page pic is a girl — it's our preparation for the AWUM. So girls, please don't get mad at us for hoarding a few slots. Promise, 5 slots only. And, we'll be sharing it with you.
So enough of the drama. LEZ DO THIS ALL WOMEN ULTRA MARATHON SLOTS RAFFLE, GIRLS! And, we're also giving away a few of this female runroo version shirts!
