"Where Does My Heart Beat Now" is a song recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion for her ninth studio album, and first English-language album, Unison (1990). It was released by Columbia Records as the third single from Unison in Canada on 1 October 1990. It was also issued as the lead single in the United States in late 1990, and in other parts of the world in early 1991. "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" was written by Robert White Johnson and Taylor Rhodes in 1988, and recorded by Dion one year later. The song was produced by Christopher Neil. Dion premiered the song at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 in Switzerland, where she performed it along with her 1988 winning song, "Ne partez pas sans moi".

"Where Does My Heart Beat Now" received positive reviews from music critics, and won the ASCAP Pop Award. It was the most successful single from Unison, and became Dion's highest charting English-language single at the time. It reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, and Dion became the first French-Canadian artist to land a top-ten hit there. It did even better on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number two. "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" reached also the top-ten in Norway and Canada, peaking at number four and six, respectively. Two accompanying music videos for the song were filmed. In 2008, it was included on the North American edition of Dion's greatest hits compilation My Love: Essential Collection.

Background and release
In 1989, Dion was recording her first English-language album, Unison. One of the songs chosen for the album was "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", written by Robert White Johnson and Taylor Rhodes. On 6 May 1989, Dion performed "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" for the very first time during the Eurovision Song Contest in Lausanne, Switzerland. The song was then released as the third single from the album in Canada on 1 October 1990. It was also issued as the lead single from Unison in the United States in late 1990, and in early 1991 in the rest of the world.

Critical reception
About.com ranked "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" number five in their list of "Top 10 Celine Dion Songs". Matthew Hocter from Albumism named it the standout track of the Unison album and "the one that truly brought Dion to the masses". AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine picked it as an album standout along with "(If There Was) Any Other Way". A reviewer from Billboard described it as a "lushly framed single". Chicago Tribune editor Jan De Knock wrote that Dion "shines brightest on torchy love songs", including her current hit "Where Does My Heart Beat Now". Columbia Daily Tribune noed it as a "swelling ballad". Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented, "Climbing the Adult Contemporary chart, this French-Canadian only learned to speak English three years ago—a surprising fact in light of the way she handles this stirring ballad".

Pan-European magazine Music & Media noted it as a "slow-stepping emotional song, with an effective and dramatic build-up, brought to life by one of Canada's hottest singers of the moment." A reviewer for Music Week called it "a tense ballad which finds her deep in Gloria Estefan territory." Gene Sandbloom from The Network Forty said, "truly an epic production, this huge ballad has everything but cannon fire and missile explosions. With the deep and sincere vocals of French-Canadian Celine Dion". Newcastle Evening Chronicle noted a "slow measured tempo on a sensually dramatic ballad." The Orlando Sentinel viewed it as a "splashy pop-gospel ballad". TalkAboutPopMusic's Christopher Smith described the song as a "power ballad", which showcases Dion's "vocal power".

Chart performance
In Canada, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" entered the charts in October 1990 and reached number six on The Record Retail Singles Chart on 8 April 1991.

Develop and implement plans for physical security.
Physical security measures can mitigate external threats and reduce the amount of harm inflicted if incidents occur. Conducting a site assessment and developing building security plans can identify existing vulnerabilities and enhance overall school security.
Intruders often exploit vulnerabilities in the school's physical security, like entering the building or classrooms through doors that are not secured or monitored. Most schools—even those with older floor plans or infrastructure— have a way to "design in" layers of security, starting with controlling access and working inward to secure classrooms and other internal spaces.
Schools can reduce the likelihood that harm is caused by completing a site assessment that evaluates current security practices and identifies options for preventing and protecting against safety incidents. Schools should also establish a team and identify a lead to oversee security efforts and engage district and school staff, students, parents, and first responders.
Involve district and community partners in the site assessment, including local law enforcement or other experts.
Conduct site assessments annually or on a recurring basis.
Integrate the results of a site assessment into the school's Emergency Operations Plan.
Conduct additional assessments at sites outside of the school building, like sporting venues, school bus storage or staging areas, or common routes near the school.
These resources are a starting point for learning about physical security. Use these resources to support the implementation of physical security initiatives at your school.

The largest submarine in the world entered service in Russia, its "Poseidon" torpedoes worry experts - Russia
Novini.bg - Current news - today's news and latest news from Bulgaria and the world. Information about the most important events in politics, show business, sports and ...
The Russian Navy acquired "Belgorod" - the largest nuclear submarine in the world, the work of the "Sevmash" shipyard.
Despite the Kremlin's assurances that the submarine will be used only for intelligence purposes, experts have warned CNN that it could be used for espionage and launching missiles with nuclear warheads.
The media outlet UNSI News even points out that the submarine's large size is a key to the true intentions behind its construction, as it houses the world's largest torpedo, the Poseidon, which Russia is developing.
Christopher Ford, an expert on international security, warned as early as 2020 that Moscow had commissioned the development of Poseidon.
According to him, their goal is to flood the coastal cities of the USA, causing a "radioactive tsunami".
Russia has decommissioned the world's largest nuclear submarine
According to the US Congressional Analysis Service, the over 180-meter long Russian submarine will be able to carry up to 8 Poseidon torpedoes on board.
Despite US concerns, Russia says the submarine will be used for scientific expeditions and rescue operations in the ocean.

It's been just over two years since Steve Law was officially named as permanent CEO of Lyreco.
During that time the company stalwart has led a number of initiatives to modernise the global contract reseller, most notably the launch of a new e-commerce platform and the expansion of Lyreco's products and services.
The Lyreco way is not to rush into things and the firm has been methodical in adding new categories such as personal protection equipment, jan/san and promotional products. The new online platform has enabled customers to create their own 'Your Lyreco' space which includes features such as on-demand web-to-print.
A strategic review last year led to the recent sale of the Canadian business to leading local player Novexco, while Lyreco's North American strategy also evolved with the signing of a global contracts agreement with US mega-independent dealer WB Mason – a move made necessary following the merger of Office Depot with former strategic partner OfficeMax.


Western Australian grain growers have told Federal Liberal MPs that they will not accept any amendments to the Government's legislation to fully deregulate the wheat export market, saying that supporting the Eastern States National's plans to retain and expand the role of Wheat Exports Australia will only lead to the continuation of a discriminatory wheat tax on the WA grains industry.
"The Governments decision to proceed with the Productivity Commission's recommendation to wind down Wheat Exports Australia will remove one of the biggest imposts on farming - the .22c/tonne Wheat Export Charge," PGA Western Grain Growers Chairman John Snooke said today.
"This includes Liberal MP's Barry Haase who represents one of the largest export wheat growing areas in Australia and refuses to step in and lead his Liberal Party colleagues to complete the reforms he supported in 2008," Mr Snooke said.
"One has to wonder whether Mr Haase's priorities lie with representing the economic interests of his Western Australian constituents, or pandering to the protectionist policies of the National Party."

We're home! More to come later!
Ellie had a much better day today. She is eating better, but it's still a bit of a struggle to get her to eat. It's much better than yesterday though. Each day will get better, I know. The good news is, it looks like she will still be discharged tomorrow!
Today our nurse went over some preliminary discharge paperwork. We have already watched the video about the car seat, and watched the infant CPR video. If anyone wants a refresher on infant CPR, we have a kit (including MiniBaby for practice) that you can borrow. It was a pretty uneventful day.
Ellie will have an eventful night though! During her bath tonight, they will remove the IV! Yay! And she'll also have a "car seat test." I had been hearing about this all week, and wondering what it was. Turns out, you have to bring in your car seat. They set it all up with the baby in it, and monitor the baby's oxygen levels for 30 minutes. They want to be sure that the baby can make it home. If the baby's head is too floppy, they are afraid that it will cut off the air supply. Most of the time they remove all the infant head wrap things and put 2 receiving blankets on either side of the head. I'm not sure why this is better, but that's what they'll do. Brian is stoked that we'll get 2 hospital blankets. I just returned the 5 that we took when Samantha was born!
Anyway, thanks for thinking of us all week. I'm glad all my family is almost all home!
Has it been 4 days already? We are getting the hang of the parking lots, hallways, and NICU room at this point.
I think Ellie is continuing to improve, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating too. Originally, they told us that she needed a minimum of 72 hours in a crib, maintaining her own temperature, before she could go home. That would be Friday, at best. However, she is still not the best eater, so they probably won't send her home if she's "not a stellar eater" (in the words of our nurse yesterday). Part of me says it might just be HER, and part of me says it's because she's a preemie. She's still not supposed to be here.
Her jaundice went up in the morning, as expected, but it's not high enough to use phototherapy yet. She is maintaining her temp ok. It was on the border of "acceptable" all day yesterday.
At this point, we're focused on eating. She just sleeps all the time, and doesn't want to wake up to feed. Last time they weighed her, I think she was down to 5lbs, 6oz. Because we are forcing the food, she's not losing much, which is the point.
I know we'll get there. I know this is typical preemie stuff. Like I said, that still doesn't mean the whole thing is not frustrating.
And a big kudos to the NICU staff. All of them have been great. It really takes a special person to care for these sick, sick babies. There was a baby born yesterday at 26 weeks, weighing less than 2 lbs! So compared to some of them, we're doing great!
This is the update for Tuesday.
Ellie continued to eat well Monday evening and through the night. However, at her morning (9am or so) feeding, she was not very interested. She was moved to a crib around 10am and she began to spit up a lot. She was able to maintain her body temperature (on the cool side, but still within range) for the first few hours. She still had not had any dirty diapers, so the nurse was getting slightly concerned that she wasn't passing anything. At her next feeding (around noon), she had a small dirty diaper, then we decided to try to nurse. She did very well (unlike the night before) but soon got sleepy again. Jaundice has set in (just a little – not at a high enough level yet to cause a bilibed, but noticeable) which causes sleepiness, and she's not eating enough to have much energy. So we had a hard time getting anything else down her. She did have a major dirty diaper while we were trying to feed, so that's progress! The nurse decided since she had two feedings that were not so good, they stuck a tube down her nose into her stomach to force the remaining food.
She is doing well with her own body temperature. She needs to wear clothes now so we can help her keep as much warmth as possible.
Brian and I had to watch a car seat video last night, and will watch a CPR video this morning. I'm not sure if they make all parents do that now, or only NICU parents.
Here's a picture from yesterday evening. I'm not sure why she looks like she has a black eye. I asked about it the night before, and they said it was because she was laying on her tummy. Even though you're supposed to lay babies down on their backs, when they are first born, NICU still lays on the tummy because they will ball up more and feel more secure. Here, she has been on her back all day, and the one eye is still yucky. We'll see how she looks today.
Oh, and I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. We were able to use the room as long as we wanted, so we used it all day, making coming and going from NICU easier. It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night though. Samantha is still at MamaLinda and Pop's, so the house feels very empty now.
Day 2 has been better. Ellie has come off nearly all of her medicines and tubes. The doctors have started letting her eat now that she's keeping oxygen in her blood in strong amounts. At her 9PM feeding, the nurse removed her glucose drip. Ellie ate 33mL of formula. We were hoping for 30, so that's great! Hopefully we won't need to get back on that drip anymore. She still has IV, but it's only for an antibiotic.
In the morning if all goes well, they will move her over to a crib. She will still be in the NICU, but she won't have all the junk hooked up to her. In a crib, you can more easily touch (still allowing only mommy and daddy to touch) and they will be closely watching her temperature. In the little bed she's in right now, she's on a heat lamp so she doesn't have to use her energy to keep up her body temperature. The hope is that she can maintain her temperature without the lamp.
Here are some pictures. The infant next to her is on a bilibed so the colors in the following pictures are most likely not up to our Adobe-certified friends' standards.


I have been at SiriusXM for almost a month now and my experience has been nothing but phenomenal thus far! Since my first day here everyone was welcoming and got me right up to speed with what was going on in our department. By my second week here I was able to sit in team meetings and give my insight on various projects that my mentors were working on. It is a great experience to be able to have my voice heard and just being able to feel like my input is being useful. I love that my role here does not limit me to just administrative work, but requires me to tap into my creative side and utilize my peers to create something that will go nation-wide. Currently, my mentor has me working on writing a few spot promos that will actually go on air! I thoroughly cannot wait to see what the next few weeks have left for me, but I am definitely continuing to absorb as much information and knowledge while I am here!


DETROIT - For years, the U.S. government's auto safety watchdog sent form letters to worried owners of the Chevrolet Cobalt and other General Motors small cars, saying it didn't have enough information about problems with unexpected stalling to establish a trend or open an investigation.
An Associated Press review of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that over a nine-year period, 164 drivers reported that their 2005-07 Chevrolet Cobalts stalled without warning. That was far more than any of the car's competitors from the same model years, except for the Toyota Corolla, which was recalled after a government investigation in 2010.
Stalling was one sign of the ignition switch failure that led GM last month to recall 1.6 million Cobalts and other compact cars, including the Saturn Ion, Pontiac G5 and Chevrolet HHR. Another 971,000 cars from model years 2008-11 were recalled late Friday to find faulty replacement switches, bringing the total to about 2.6 million.
GM has linked the problem to at least 12 deaths and dozens of crashes. The company said the switch can slip out of the "run" position, which causes the engine to stall. This knocks out the power steering and power-assisted brakes, making the car harder to maneuver. Power to the device that activates the air bags is also cut off.
Although the overall number of complaints represents only 0.02 percent of the nearly 625,000 Cobalts sold from 2005-07 in the U.S., experts familiar with NHTSA said they were enough to warrant an investigation and recall. The Cobalt had about the same rate of complaints as the Corolla. And the agency knew of at least two fatalities in Cobalt crashes that involved a sudden stall when it first declined to investigate the cars in 2007.
Spotting trends in the tens of thousands of complaints NHTSA gets each year is a tough job, and this case may have been more complicated than most. The Cobalt had a litany of problems, including fuel leaks, and a power steering defect that the agency did investigate. GM might not have disclosed all the information it had on the switches. And the 2010 recall of millions of Toyotas for unintended acceleration claimed much of the government's attention.
But several experts said NHTSA should have pressed for a recall sooner.
"They're not connecting up the dots. That's the generous explanation," said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Auto Safety, who has studied the government's auto safety agency for decades. "The not-so-generous is that they did connect the dots but they just didn't do anything."
- In December 2005, General Motors sent the safety agency and its dealers a service bulletin telling them that drivers could inadvertently turn off the ignition switch with minimal effort in Cobalts from the 2005 and 2006 model years. Dealers were told about repairs and to tell drivers reporting engine shutdowns to remove unnecessary items from their key chains.
- In October 2006, GM sent the agency and dealers another service bulletin, adding Cobalts from the 2007 model year.
- In 2007, the government commissioned a report on a 2006 Wisconsin crash that killed two teenage girls and injured another. In that report, Indiana University's Transportation Research Center found that the ignition in the 2005 Cobalt was in the "accessory" position and the air bags failed to inflate. Investigators told the agency that "inadvertent contact with the ignition switch or a key chain in the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt can in fact result in engine shut-down and loss of power."
- In 2007 and later in 2010, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigations examined data on stalling incidents and air bag failures in GM cars. Yet the agency recently told House members it was unable to spot trends that were significant when compared with "peer vehicles" or the U.S. passenger car fleet, according to a letter released earlier this month by the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

And we are back to baby layouts again. I just can't help myself. So for today's layout I decided to focus on the Beautiful You Stamp Set. I wanted to use the craft themed stamps to make a layout about the best thing I ever 'made'.
To start of with I took a piece of Solar White Cardstock and used the Scissor stamp to stamp a pattern background using the Blush Ink. Then on another piece of Cardstock, I stamped out my elements (Title, Bobbin and Clothes Tag). I traced a shipping tag over the top of my title so I would have a guide where to cut and watercolor. Then out came the paint.
Once painted and dried, I fussy cut them all out and began to create my clusters – starting with the one to go under my title tag.
I used the bobbin to create a cluster at the bottom of the page. Then I added the clothes tag to the photo cluster. I sewed down the tag along the stitch line.
I like that it adds dimension, but best of all it's a great place for hidden journaling.
I couldn't very well do a crafty layout without running it though the sewing machine a few times and that pretty much wraps it up for this month. I'll see you all next month.
Such a pretty and fun layout!
This is stunning, such pretty details and a fab layout. Thanks so much for sharing!

Ahhhh Warframe such a beautiful free game that can surpass other Triple A games out there. Let's get to the news, Tennocon recently showcased a new open world zone with a twist. It reveals combat at the comfort of your own ship damnnn this game just keeps getting better and better. At any time, players can depart their own ship and fly around space in their personal Archwing flightsuit to engage enemies more directly. You have the ability to infiltrate enemy capital ships and sabotage them from the inside to weaken them for a killing blow. During one intense sequence, one developer was running through the halls of the enemy capital ship while another was in what creative director Steve Sinclair called "commander mode" which let them hack the enemy ship to open airlocks and assist her teammate. This is really another big leap from Digital Extremes they have my respect. I'd say shut up and take my money but it's FREE!!! BUTTTT WAIT THERES MOREEEEE the update featured on the trailer was hoverboards and yes you can do tricks on em check it out down below.


Transition Accounting Advisors, LLC - What is a PCA?
A Practice Continuation Agreement (PCA) is an agreement that has its intent founded in the desire to provide, or receive, back-up and support and possible succession under difficult circumstances most often associated with the death or disability of an owner or partner.
A PCA is an agreement that details the who, how, when and where in the event of an unforeseen circumstance. A PCA must often be more detailed than a succession plan because the need to "activate" the PCA is mostly because the practitioner is incapable of providing assistance, advice or counsel due to death or disability. This is not always the case as some disabilities do not necessarily prevent a practitioner from providing advice or counsel but a good PCA needs to be written and executable as if this will be the case. Because of this fact the PCA is a much more involved agreement and requires constant updating as there can be changes in any firm on a regular basis. The PCA partner providing the backup service must be kept informed of these changes as he or she will not have the opportunity to figure things out in casual and relaxed time.
Everyone that enters into a PCA should consider this a legally binding agreement, regardless of whether you are the professional seeking the backup and support or the professional offering the backup. If you are the professional offering the support it is also important to consider your liability in the event you cannot provide the backup at the time it is needed. Remember if you signed an agreement to provide backup or support you now have a legal obligation to do so. We will discuss later in this PCA module some of the reasons you may want to agree to provide the backup and support. We will also discuss what the practitioner must provide to equitably compensate if he or she is seeking the backup and support.
We have read many articles that declare a PCA enables a professional to transfer their practice, in the event of an unforeseen circumstance, and receive "full value". We do not agree with this statement at all. To explain why we take exception let us ask a simple question If you were the professional offering support and backup and your PCA partner suddenly died are you going to give them "full value" without factoring the disadvantage of no transition or retention assistance? Most will not. It does not mean that value should be determined based on a preconceived notion of client attrition, it simply means there needs to be a fair and equitable manner to author the PCA itself. We will also discuss this more in the following sections.

Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean (1990) – A Review
03/05/2018 HapStuff Docudrama 0
Suzanne Pleshette plays notorious business woman, real estate mogul and the woman dubbed 'the Queen of Mean' Leona Helmsley in a 1990 television movie.
Based on the book of the same name, the story covers Helmsley's poor, unloved upbringing, her numerous marriages to wealthy men and eventual marriage to real estate billionaire Harry Helmsley (played by Lloyd Bridges) with whom she would reach the top of the ladder she had always wanted. From her marriage to Helmsley she would become one of the most feared and powerful businesswomen in the world. With her controversial and savage personal and business behavior she would fall from her penthouse perch when she got indicted for tax fraud.
Helmsley was a fixture in newspapers throughout the 80's. Reports about her cut-throat and vicious persona kept her in the headlines. It was little surprise when the kingdom she built and her name she had tried so hard to come to associate with elegance and class came crumbling down. Everyone was eager to read about the Queen's fall.
Helmsley is a fascinating character and her story is almost one of those huge Shakespearean tales. Rich and powerful characters, expensive proprieties in their grasp, a rich city that they rule over. This is an epic tale.
That sadly is one of the big weaknesses with this TV movie. With a limited TV budget, the film is unable to create a real sense of the extravagant opulence that Helmsley ruled over. I was familiar with seeing Helmsley on the news and recall the lavish hotels and homes she had. She made herself out to be royalty with these huge estates and hotels of hers.
The film can't compete with that. Most of the scenes are set in very bland looking rooms. Even lavish parties and banquet halls aren't that impressive looking. Most of them look like any ordinary gathering at a Hilton hotel. It really does look like a cheap TV-movie.
While watching this I kept envisioning what they could have created with a bigger budget and better production design. Compared to something like the more recent HBO film Wizard of Lies about Bernie Madoff, that film was able to give you more of a feeling of the wealth and surroundings the story was taking place in. The Queen of Mean doesn't come close to conveying that. But that was the restraints they were faced with by the smaller scale production.
What the film lacks in its budget, it succeeds with its lead performance by Pleshette. She is the real standout in this and makes it worthwhile. She gives a terrific performance. She's cold, calculating, manipulative, its just what you expect to see from this woman. And when she loses her temper the rafters start shaking, the commoners around her quake and she earns her famous nickname.
Pleshette doesn't hold back making this woman unlikable, and the character doesn't apologize for her behavior. There's no sense of guilt or hesitation by her when she finally meets Harry and gradually begins manipulating her new lovelorn husband any way she pleases.
There's a wonderful scene of Leona giving Harry the ultimatum of leaving his wife of thirty-three years to marry her. She plays it very sly, acting as if she has no choice making the demand. Poor Harry ends up divorcing his wife, while Leona feels her handling of him and the leap her social status is about to take is a success. No remorse is even hinted at.
Bridges is fine as Harry. I felt sorry for the guy as his new wife blatantly manipulates him. It's obvious he's completely in love with her. I'm not so sure about her with him though. I didn't see much genuine feelings towards him. It could be that Leona does care for Harry in her own way, or at least the most she can, but it's superseded by her drive for success. Watching how she acts towards her own son, it's not likely that this woman can love at all.
The story is told in flashback as Leona prepares for the big verdict of her trial. And the film ends there. It felt like the film could have spent more time with her during the publicity storm that was raining down on her from the press during this period. That's when her notoriety really soared as more and more stories about her came out. But it's quickly glossed over. I think that was a missed opportunity.
Joe Regalbuto plays one character who doesn't bow to Helmsley on her climb. He becomes something of a confidant and something of a conscious in the movie. He doesn't hide his feelings that he thinks her behavior is abhorrent. He suddenly disappears from the story when she meets Harry.
Perhaps she had no further need for a friend like that. Had the film kept him around he could of offered an honest perspective by someone who was witness to her behavior. Leona wouldn't have listened to him, but it might have been interesting to have a scene of someone attempting to give her a reality check during her out of control tantrums.
The 'bitchy' moments the movie does present are a heck of a lot of fun. Leona going ballistic over wet lettuce in her hotel, having her assistant wipe her shoes, firing employees without batting an eye, threatening her son for jeopardizing her enterprises. All of it is great stuff and Pleshette soars during those scenes.
A movie about Leona could be the equalvilant to a modern day Mommie Dearest. An out-of-control 'bitch' just waiting to explode in scenes with memorable deplorable behavior, reciting lines like her famed, "Only littlepeople pay taxes". That could go right up there with the "No wire hangers" scene.
Throw in her gaudy outfits, caked on makeup, prowling around in opulent surroundings, it would seem like a movie that would be almost a guaranteed cult offering.
Until that movie gets made The Queen of Mean is adequate enough. Pleshette excels in it, but I can't help but think if one were to put this woman and her story on a grander canvas it could be so much more entertaining.
Here, give it a watch!

Once you have explored all of the Essential Elements, it is time to put your design into action. The first step is to create an implementation plan, which details the "who," "what," "when," "where" and "how much" of your SBCC program. The plan covers partner roles and responsibilities, activities, timeline, budget and management considerations. The implementation plan should include input and commitments from team members who helped with program research and design, and who will help implement moving forward.
In SBCC programs, an important consideration for your implementation plan is making sure that your key message points are integrated into your selected channels in a way that will ensure you reach urban adolescents and other intended audiences at the right time.
What are the activities that need to be planned and implemented?
Which stakeholders' involvement do you need to implement?
Where will you implement them?
What is the necessary sequence of activities? How are they linked?
When will each activity be implemented? Will staff, resources and intended audiences all be available then?
How will you measure project performance against your behavioral indicators and program goal? At what stages of the project?
Who will be responsible for activity design? Funding? Rollout? Monitoring?
Does everyone know their roles?
What if something goes wrong? Are you allowing room for delays in funding, implementation, approvals, etc.? Make your implementation plan SMART, too!
Implementing SRH SBCC programs for urban adolescents can be challenging. Here are some common challenges that you might face and suggested strategies for dealing with them.
If your efforts are tied to service delivery or training, be sure to consider this in your timeline. For example, demand creation activities for SRH services may need to wait until the capacity of service providers to provide youth-friendly counseling is strengthened.
Resistance from parents/adults to your SRH SBCC program with urban adolescents.
Particularly vulnerable youth can be very hard to reach.
Teachers often do not have the time or the interest in delivering your program.
Young people, particularly in urban environments, are very mobile.
It can be difficult to get young people to trust you.
Transportation can be a barrier.
Urban youth peer educators can be difficult to manage.
Motivating peer educators or IPC facilitators can be challenging.
Funds are limited and evaluation is too expensive to conduct.
Program staff are not trained in M&E.
Inaccuracies of self-reported data among youth.
Lack of sustainability of your program.
Taboos linked to parent-child communication around SRH.
Difficulties in finding leisure activities that attract out-of-school youth.

What's New, Pussycat?
Illustration by: © viastas
1965 – what an upside down, topsy-turvy year it was, and I'm not referring to the headlines, of which there were plenty. I'm talking about music.
According to Billboard magazine's Top 100 songs of the year Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs' Wooly Bully led the list, despite never reaching the top spot on a weekly Hot 100. What a novelty.
Elvis was still around, his "Crying in the Chapel: was number 9 on the charts, while the Searchers' "Love Potion Number Nine" was number 70. The Beach Boys were kicking up sand with "Help Me, Rhonda" at number 11, beating out country's "King of the Road" by Roger Miller.
The sounds of Motown were also ringing in our ears. The Four Tops clocked in at number 2 with "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" and again at number 83 with "It's the Same Old Song." The Temptations made the top ten songs of the year at number 10 with "My Girl."
But what about the Beatles? They had a good year, too. George Harrison had his tonsils removed, and John Lennon passed his driving test. Together with Paul and Ringo they became the first rock group to win Best New Artist at the seventh annual Grammy Awards, as well as being named Best Performance by a Vocal Group for "A Hard Day's Night." Yet the Song of the Year went to Jerry Herman's "Hello Dolly!" as recorded by Louis Armstrong, and the bossa nova beat prevailed for Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto who took home Album of the Year. Think "The Girl from Ipanema" with vocals by Astrud Gilberto.
The Beatles' "Help!" was number 7; "Ticket to Ride" was number 31; "Eight Days a Week" was number 55.
There are so many other groups we associate with the sixties. The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was number 3 on Billboard's end-of-year hit list. British beat bands to make the charts included Herman's Hermits with five songs, the Kinks, the Dave Clark Five, Freddie and the Dreamers, and Jerry and the Pacemakers. British soloists included Petula Clark and Tom Jones.
The Righteous Brothers, the Supremes, and Jay and the Americans comprised some of the popular U.S. born and bred talent. Sonny and Cher first achieved fame in 1965 with "I Got You Babe," ending the year at number 16, and "Baby Don't Go" at 72. And then there was Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan went electric fifty years ago, alienating his fans at the Newport Folk Festival by performing on an electric guitar and playing loud. His album "Bringing It All Back Home" was both electric and acoustic. The Byrds covered his "Mr. Tambourine Man, adding sounds, ending the year at number 25. Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" was number 41 for the year.
Who were you listening to back then? Keep searchin': the Billboard Top 100 Songs of 1965 can be found here. Who are you listening to now?
Are your memories keeping you awake?
Get up, and write them down.
In the morning,
have a strong cup of coffee
and call a personal historian.


Please save the date, Saturday, April 25th beginning at 6 p.m., and join us for Field Party 2015, held beneath a giant tent right here in-the-field behind our school.
This exciting annual event is in its 11th year and is the primary fundraiser for St. Martin's. Last year, we held this sold-out party under the stars, and the school raised a record $109,000 under the careful guidance of event co-chairs (and Mustang parents) Curt McFarlin and Ellen Allen. This year, Curt and Ellen have expanded our tent and expect to welcome 250 friends to wine, dine, dance, and enjoy a great live auction.
The event logo includes dozens of individually painted, hand-cut and layered pieces of paper created by our students. Sue Maloney, our Art teacher, used the painted paper to recreate the look of last year's party tent, and we all love the way the collage turned out! This original piece of art will be auctioned off on event night, along with many other exciting live auction items.
Last year, the live auction included a four-day getaway to Key West, a stunning diamond necklace donated by Dr. and Mrs. Leo Courtney, and a great Ravens football game experience featuring a limousine ride and skybox seats, courtesy of the Kokoski family. Other highlights of last year's event included Mustang parent Carol Snyder, who sang an acoustic set during the cocktail hour, and late-night dance music provided by local artist Dan Haas. Both will be returning to our Field Party this year.
"This event really pulls not only our school community together but the community at large. I love to see past PA presidents, parents of alumni who are in college, and the parents of people who sent their kids our preschool. This 'reunion' is a solid example of the deep roots St. Martin's has in this community," said Ellen Allen.
The reunion that the spring event celebrates and the rededication to our school that it engenders testify to the community-building experience of our preschool-through-8th-grade school families. We appreciate the talents and enthusiasm of our St. Martin's community—all of whom contribute so generously. Together, we will make Field Party 2015 a record-breaking showcase event for our school!

MEDIAPRO exports its eSports model to Portugal as the producer of the eLiga Portugal
2 months ago DOMENICO DRAGONE
The MEDIAPRO Group, leader in Spain and one of the largest organizers of video game competitions worldwide through LVP, exports its eSports model to Portugal. The Group will be in charge of the production of eLiga Portugal, the official FIFA 21 competition organized by Liga Portugal under the supervision of Electronic Arts (EA). eLiga Portugal has the participation of 17 of the 18 teams that are part of the Liga NOS, the first Portuguese soccer division, including such renowned teams as FC Porto and Sporting SC.
MEDIAPRO will operate the competition through Medialuso, a Group company specialized in production and who will be in charge of the audiovisual production of all the programs; and LVP, which will be in charge of sports management bringing its ten years of experience in organizing video game competitions to the project.
In this sense, MEDIAPRO Portugal has created a spectacular virtual set in which all the programs of eLiga Portugal will take place and which represents an important leap in quality compared to previous editions. In addition, the competition can also be followed on television via the Sport TV + network, where a program will be broadcast with the highlights of each day.
The day will be broadcast in its entirety on the Twitch platform and on the Sport TV streaming platform. Both versions will be presented by content creator Marina "Pamufa" Sousa and with commentary by international commentators Alexandre "Archaron" Maia and Bruno "SyFOE" Branco.
eLiga Portugal, now entering its third edition, will take place between the months of November and April 2021 and will put the best FIFA 21 players in Portugal to the test. The competition will consist of two seasons (winter / spring) and a Grand Final, in which a prize pool of €50,000 will be at stake and access to the tiebreaker round of the European phase of the FIFA Global Series.
"We have been organizing eSports competitions around the world for more than 10 years and for us it's an honor to be able to export our successful model to Portugal", highlights Jordi Soler, CEO of LVP. "Mediapro Portugal and LVP have gone all out on the project of the eLiga Portugal, and we are sure that it will become a benchmark competition among clubs and fans alike." he adds.
"For Liga Portugal it is a great satisfaction, but above all a great pride, to organize this tournament that we believe will be the greatest national benchmark in terms of virtual soccer. The commitment of the Liga and our clubs in the eSports business is accompanying global growth the sector has experienced, understanding the inherent importance of the presence in this territory as a communication portal with a young target and for who, in many cases, eSports represents their main point of contact with our sport. We are very happy with this partnership with Mediapro and we are sure that it will be a great success and will result in a differentiating product in the market. We also highlight the agreement already reached with SportTV, to whom we would also like to acknowledge their commitment to this project", says Tiago Madureira, Executive Director of Liga Portugal.
LVP, world leader in the Spanish speaking world
MEDIAPRO is a leader in the eSports sector through LVP, one of the largest operators of video game competitions in the world and the largest organization of Spanish speaking eSports. LVP has offices in Barcelona, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Bogotá and Mexico, from where it operates the main national competitions in Spain and Latin America, including the Superliga Orange and the Master Flow League, both from League of Legends.
LVP also distributes world events in Spanish such as the League of Legends European Championship© and manages competitions for third parties including eLaLiga Santander, the top FIFA competition in Spain that it has been operating for LaLiga and Electronic Arts for four years.
Previous LVP wraps up their first VALORANT competition with over 395,000 cumulative viewership

A party opposing an application for security costs sometimes has to argue that the ordering of security would "stifle" a genuine claim. This means giving evidence as to that party's inability to pay. This test was considered by Mr Richard Salter QC in Eminent Energy Limited -v- KRassik Ou  EWHC 2585 (Comm). It is an important lesson in the detail that a party must bring to court to prove inability to pay.
The claimant was applying for security for costs on a counterclaim. The defendant opposed the application. One of the grounds put forward was that the application would stifle a genuine claim. It was, therefore, incumbent on the defendant, to adduce evidence of its inability to pay.
.. That means that, in all but the most unusual cases, the burden lies on [the party resisting an order for security] to show, quite apart from the question of whether the company's own means are sufficient to meet an order for security, that there will be no prospect of funds being available or forthcoming from any outside source such as a creditor, principal shareholder or other party whose interests are affected ..
.. Daxin Baltic has limited funds, all of which have been earmarked to pay its own legal costs in these proceedings, and also in the various proceedings underway in Estonia .. No further funds are available to Daxin Baltic, at least at the present time, therefore if a security for costs order was made against Daxin Baltic, it would be unable to satisfy that order.
That leaves the question as to whether, notwithstanding its own position, Daxin Baltic has reasonable access to alternative sources of funding which would allow it to meet an order for security for costs .. The answer to this is that Daxin Baltic does not.
.. [I]t is suggested that the Daxin Group would be able to provide the monies necessary for Daxin Baltic to comply with any order for security that the Court may make. This is not the case. The fraud that has been perpetrated on Daxin Baltic has also resulted in huge losses for Daxin Petroleum (and therefore, a potential claim by Daxin Petroleum against Daxin Baltic). In light of this, Daxin Baltic currently has no expectation that Daxin Baltic will obtain funds from either Daxin Petroleum or any company in the Daxin Group ..
In my judgment, that evidence fails to discharge the evidential burden on Daxin Baltic.
18.1 First of all, Daxin Baltic has failed to provide any satisfactory up-to-date evidence as to its own means. The most recent evidence before the court is contained in Daxin Baltic's Consolidated Annual Report for the accounting year ended 31 December 2014. No attempt has been made to put more up-to-date figures (perhaps in the form of Management Accounts) before the court. Mr Weller's vague assertion of "limited funds, all of which have been earmarked to pay its own legal costs in these proceedings, and also in the various proceedings underway in Estonia" does not even get close to providing the full and frank disclosure that is required in circumstances such as this.
18.2 Secondly, Daxin Baltic has failed to provide any sufficient evidence to establish that it has no realistic prospect of obtaining funds from any outside source.
18.3.3 Daxin Baltic had, in effect, become financially dependent on the Daxin Group, receiving over €3.7m in short-term intra-group loans.
18.4 Despite this net deficiency of current and total assets, Daxin Baltic has nevertheless found the money to prosecute both its defence and counterclaim in the present action, and its litigation in Estonia against Ms Kozlovskaja and others.
18.5 Mr Weller does not explain the source of these funds. The natural inference, in the absence of any satisfactory explanation, is that those funds have been provided by those, whether creditors or shareholders, who stand to benefit from the present litigation.
18.6 The suggestion that Daxin Petroleum's ability to assist Daxin Baltic with this litigation has been impaired as a result of the "huge losses" resulting from the fraud is undermined by Daxin Petroleum's own most recent accounts, filed on 19 July 2016. These show total current assets of approximately USD 296m, retained earnings of about USD 62 million and share capital of USD 20 million.
18.7 Daxin Petroleum therefore could, if it chose, provide the necessary funds. As to whether it would be likely to do so, the Defence and Counterclaim reveals a very close relationship between Daxin Petroleum and Daxin Baltic. Daxin Baltic was not formed as a trading company in its own right. According to paragraph 8 of the Defence and Counterclaim, its purpose was to provide services to Daxin Petroleum. Moreover, paragraph 12 of the Defence and Counterclaim asserts that Daxin Baltic needed the permission of Daxin Petroleum to have its own credit lines so as to be able to trade on its own account. Indeed, it is an essential part of Daxin Baltic's conspiracy claim that it needed (but did not have) Daxin Petroleum's authority to carry out the trades in question, even though Daxin Baltic was carrying out those trades on its own account and claims damages by reference to its own position (and not that of Daxin Petroleum).
18.8 Against that background, Mr Weller does not provide any satisfactory explanation of why the Daxin Group (and in particular, Daxin Petroleum) will not support Daxin Baltic. His suggestion of "a potential claim by Daxin Petroleum against Daxin Baltic", and his statement that "Daxin Baltic currently has no expectation" of receiving funds from the Daxin Group, do not provide the Court with the necessary information. He does not even suggest that Daxin Baltic has asked for support, much less exhibit any relevant correspondence or other documentation.
In the circumstances, I am unable to conclude that the making of a reasonable order for security would in fact prevent Daxin Baltic from prosecuting its counterclaim.
Ordering security for costs, third party actions and the costs budget.

A Brief History Of The Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL)
by Gary Groob | Apr 2, 2020 | Lacrosse, NLL
A little over a decade after the original National Lacrosse League folded in 1976, Kansas City based monster truck show promoters Chris Fritz and Russ Cline brought pro box lacrosse back to American arenas starting in 1987.
Unlike the original NLL, this league was played in the winter and was promoted the same way Fritz and Cline promoted monster truck shows. (Not unlike how Vince McMahon was promoting wrestling at the same time.) Loud music, big hits and spandex shorts!!!Eventually their single entity ownership model would give way to what is now the second incarnation of the NLL (Retaining many former MILL teams like the Philadelphia Wings, Rochester Knighthawks and the Buffalo Bandits).
This video was made as a pitch video for potential sponsors for the 1990 season outlining the league's history, some cool action clips and their business plan and target demographics.
Watch for a cool New England Blazers commercial as it's a crash course on how Fritz and Cline brought lacrosse back to America.

Swing-district Republicans ditch Trump's 'Build the Wall' rhetoric
While most swing-district nominees are talking border security, just a handful are openly embracing his $25 billion dream.

Since his June 2015 presidential campaign kickoff, Donald Trump's empty promise to erect a massive wall along the southern border — at no cost to the American taxpayer — was the centerpiece of his platform. Three years later, it is clear that Mexico is not paying for his wall and Republican candidates in swing districts are not rushing to embrace the $25 billion project.
ThinkProgress examined the campaign website issue pages and posted campaign ads for the more than 100 Republican incumbents and candidates who have advanced to the November 2018 general elections in districts deemed competitive by the Cook Political Report. While at least 62 of the candidates included language about the need for strong border security, only 18 openly called for any version of the Trump Wall.
This could indicate that Republican candidates recognize that the public is not eager to increase the national debt by billions more than Trump and the GOP-led Congress already has. A June Gallup poll found 57 percent of Americans opposed the proposed wall, compared to just 41 percent who supported the idea.
Trump's promise was always long on wall but short on specifics. "I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words," he pledged to open his campaign. When a former Mexican president made it clear that this was never going to happen, Trump fired back: "The wall just got 10 feet taller, believe me." By Election Day of 2016, it was the piece de resistance of his rallies, whipping his supporters into a frenzied call-and-response in which they answered that Mexico would pay.
After winning the presidency, Trump demanded that the U.S. Congress appropriate billions of dollars to the wall, but continued to insist Mexico's check would soon be in the mail. He continues to frequently tweet about it and his administration calls it a high priority. In recent months, he has taken to falsely insisting that construction is already underway. In recent days, he even threatened a government shutdown if Congress doesn't commit billions in taxpayer dollars for the effort this year.
Dishonest media says Mexico won't be paying for the wall if they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly. Media is fake!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017
But most GOP House candidates in competitive races do not share his enthusiasm for talking about the issue. Just six vulnerable Republican incumbents do so: Reps. Don Bacon (NE-2), Troy Balderson (OH-12), Karen Handel (GA-6), Brian Mast (FL-18), Pete Olson (TX-22), and David Schweikert (AZ-6). And while Balderson explicitly says he "will work with President Trump to build the wall and protect Ohio's working class from illegal immigration," most of the others merely acknowledge supporting H.R.6136 – Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2018, a bill that included border wall or border fence funding.
The few non-incumbent candidates who are more vocal in their support are also among the most politically extreme. "Pro-life, pro-gun, pro-Trump" candidate Carol Miller, the GOP nominee for West Virginia's open 3rd District House seat, vows in her campaign ads to "build the wall" and "make English the national language."
In one spot, she proudly notes that she worked to make the Bible the official state book during her tenure in the state legislature.
Chip Roy, the Republican running in the open Texas 21st District, lists his desire for Trump's wall on one part of his campaign issues page and his plan to limit the role of federal judges by "considering impeachment where appropriate, and/or limiting their tenures."
New Hampshire Republican Eddie Edwards, who won the nomination for the open 1st District seat on Tuesday, says on his campaign site and in his ads that he will work with Trump to build the wall. He also calls for a repeal of federal gun background checks and endorses allowing some convicted domestic abusers to own firearms.
And Danny Tarkanian, a frequent candidate seeking Nevada's open 3rd District seat, says on his site that he supports "building 'the wall'" and also that he believes the government should pay for private and religious schools because it is "hypocrisy" that "liberals who command a woman's 'right to choose' when it comes to terminating a pregnancy" do not also give "women the right to choose what school to send their children to."
Ironically, both Roy and Tarkanian both also list reducing federal spending among their top priorities.

The Trammps Featuring Earl Young Set to Make a Disco Cruise Splash [Interview]
The Trammps, formed in Philadelphia with the great Earl Young, became well-known for their top-selling disco hits that had folks dancing the night away under the glow of mirrored balls. Fans now have the chance to get up close and personal dancing along with The Trammps featuring Earl Young aboard the inaugural Ultimate Disco Cruise set to sail February 2019.

Acknowledged for being the most legendary disco group, The Trammps entered the music scene in 1972. The original group featured vocalist, Jimmy Ellis, Harold Doc Wade, Stanley Wade and Young. Traveling with an array of outstanding musicians, The Trammps would be known to shine their presence with up to 11 members onstage at once. The Trammps featuring Earl Young continues the quest to delight admirers.
The Trammps Talent was Clear from the Start
Many of the bandmates worked together to not only perform, but also write the faved songs that put The Trammps on the map. They began as an R&B group before segueing into huge disco stardom. Before securing their first gold with "Disco Inferno," released in 1977, the group had already earned accolades from fans. It is drummer Young who is credited with creating the Philly sound.
Released in 1972, the group's remake of Judy Garland's "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart" (Buddah Records) became the song masters first recording and first hit single. "Where Do We Go from Here," on the self-titled The Trammps (Fleece/Columbia) 1976 album, had fans and Buddah Records wanting more. The aptly named "Legendary Zing Album" (Buddah Records) released in 1976, solidified The Trammps deserving fame. The truly legendary album featured their hits "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart," "Pray All You Sinners," "Sixty Minute Man," along with new creations including "Hold Back the Night."
The group made disco history with their album "Where the Happy People Go" (Atlantic Records) making its debut in 1976. With the songs "Disco Party," "Hooked for Life" and "Soul Searchin' Time," the record was recognized with such Billboard honors as Best Disco Album, Best Disco Artist, Best Disco Single and Best Disco Single Unreleased. Earl Young received Best Disco Drummer for the album as well.
The Trammps Live Up to Best Disco Group Title
As The Trammps continued with recording sessions, they also found themselves touring to fulfil the wants of fans seeking to dance away to their favorite disco group live. The group metaphorically threw a match to ignite the dance craze flame with their hit "Disco Inferno," from the same titled Atlantic album, in 1977.
With "Disco Inferno" leading as the anthem for the disco lovers it was the perfect addition to the 1978 movie "Saturday Night Fever." The film, that showcases disco's impact on lifestyles of the time, has John Travolta moving to "Disco Inferno" with dance fever inspired choreography by Deney Terrio.
The RSO Records movie soundtrack (1978) song won The Trammps a Best Album Grammy in 1979. "Disco Inferno" continued its climb to be the internationally acclaimed disco hymn with the disco masters being acknowledged as the best performing group by 2001 Space Odyssey — the famed New York club highlighted in "Saturday Night Fever."
Earl Young Continues Spreading The Trammps Joyful Sound
As an original band member, and a writer for several of The Trammps songs, Young's heart has stayed true to fans in his want to perform The Trammps music to live audiences. The Trammps Featuring Earl Young has traveled to bring music joy and notes performances on such highly regarded stages as the White House, Disneyland, and London's Hammersmith Odeon.
The talented Young began drumming at an early age:
I learned on phone books and coffee cans. I started in the music business when I was 16 — first playing drums for a lot of Doo Wop groups.
The humble Young, who has been honored with five stars on the Philadelphia Music Walk of Fame on Broad Street, continues to wow audiences with his joyous sound.
Interview at Dance Fever 40th Anniversary Concert

Carol Ruth Weber: How have you kept the music going all these years?
Earl Young: I guess I would say I have always loved music, and music has always been a part of me. I'm 78 years old and am blessed to be able to do what I do. As long as I have a show, I'll keep performing — I am lucky to have a great wife who supports me.
CRW: As a drummer, how do you feel when described as the inventor of disco style drumming — and what sets disco style drumming aside from other styles?
EY: I would say, first of all, I love all music from jazz to country. I grew up with the Motown sound, Memphis sound, New York sound and California sound. I wanted to create a Philly sound. It's four-on-the-floor — which means the base drum count is 1/4 with the high-hat on 16th note and snares on a 2/4 — that is the disco groove along with other elements fit in. The DJs can mix on that. Usually it is a 1/20 tempo that is the disco sound. The sound is on my record Disco Inferno — It is on Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes records, and many others.
I feel great because it is a one-of-a-kind thing and people try to copy my style. A lot of the music today still uses it, but without the high hat and bongo sound anymore.
CRW: What brought you and the other members together in 1972 to form The Trammps?
EY: We all used to sing with different groups. I had groups called the Exceptions and the Whirlwinds, who had the same people in them, and a group called the Volcanos. The Volcanos had a record called "Storm Warning." When the groups broke up I took guys from both groups to form the Trammps. I couldn't use the word Tramp because the group Supertramp was out the same time.
The first recording and first hit was "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart," which I got from the B side of "Yakety Yack" by the Coasters.
In 1979 the original group broke up and moved to Holland and I didn't want to go. The group I have now are with the same guys who have been with me for over 30 years — Antwon Young [no relation], Riny Rankin and Adrian Jackson.
CRW: What has kept you wanting to continue performing with The Trammps lineup?
EY: Money — but I would say for the love of music and love what I do. I look at it like a job I love to do. When I come to perform, I get myself in the mood to perform. I try not to bring my work home with me. When you bring work home you forget what you are about. When I get home I put my jeans on and play with the grandkids.
I get excited about working on the ships because they are great jobs. I just did an R&B cruise. It gives me a chance to get together to work with all the people I have known. I can't wait for the Ultimate Disco Cruise so we can do our shows and party with fans. We are looking forward to meeting and greeting people on the ship and seeing old friends from the 70s.
CRW: Other than seeing the fans joyfully dance to your music, what else brings you joy?
EY: I go and do my drum shows and work in the studio to record albums. I have a room full of gold albums that is my museum for all the people I recorded with — BB King, Wilson Pickett, and Johnny Mathis.
My grandkids are my babies. They are my next generation that I am going to be pushing to do music.
CRW: Are you amazed at who you have covering The Trammps songs — such as Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner?
EY: I am excited always when someone uses my song because I can go to my mailbox and get a check. Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent sampled my songs too. They use a song and I get paid.
CRW: With songs featured on countless movies beyond "Saturday Night Fever" do you continue to be amazed by their continued popularity?
EY: Absolutely — I still hear songs in commercials. I can go walk into malls and my car and hear not only my song, but songs that I have played drums on.
CRW: Why do you feel that disco is coming alive again and are you excited to be part of the fun on the Ultimate Disco Cruise?
EY: I don't know — I feel that it never really-left because we have always continued to play. Only difference is that we don't have huge bars with disco balls hanging from the ceiling. Venues still have good shows and we work all year.
CRW: Did you feel like a proud papa when "Disco Inferno" was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame on September 19, 2005?
EY: Yes, that was a great time. But it was a better time when I got two Grammys for the Trammps for "Saturday Night Fever" and another for MFSB for "Love is the Message" — best instrumental.
CRW: Have you ever gotten star truck- such as when Stevie Wonder played harmonica for The Trammps on "The Night the Lights Went Out," and "Soul Bones"?
EY: No — he is an entertainer like me. He showed up and got paid. Nobody is any better than anybody else. Your job does not make anyone better than anyone else.
CRW: I see you released "Get Your Lovin While You Can" in 2014 — what are you plans for anymore new songs?
EY: Seriously I really-have no plans because in today's market it is really-hard to get your record played because anyone can make a record these days. I would like to record but I don't do it now.
Earl Young with The Trammps are not planning on leaving the scene. "Disco Inferno," along with other hits continue to keep the music alive into the 21st Century. Cyndi Lauper notably covered the group's well-known disco song at a 1998 live concert in New York City. In 2001 The Trammps made long-term and new fans happy with the compilation record release of "The Trammps – All The Hits & The 'Disco Inferno'."
Fans of The Trammps Featuring Earl Young will be sure to fire up the dance floor as Young's Trammps perform "Disco Inferno" aboard Gulf of Mexico Celebrity Ultimate Disco Cruise from February 14–19 in 2019. Boogying will be encouraged as Young and The Trammps get up close with the crowd to celebrate dance fun with their disco hits. Also on board to inspire dance party fun will be music host Bob Pantano, and the wonderful cruise host Deney Terrio.
In addition to The Trammps featuring Earl Young, the Ultimate Disco Cruise lineup will wow fans with many famed performers. Admirers will have the chance to see and dance with KC and The Sunshine Band, Kool & The Gang, Gloria Gaynor, the Village People, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Thelma Houston, and Musique — to name just a few.

Chinese government admits head of Interpol 'under investigation' after disappearance

China's leader can now rule for life
The missing head of Interpol, who vanished after returning to his homeland, is under investigation in China, authorities in Beijing have confirmed.
In a terse one line statement Sunday evening, China's ruling Communist Party admitted Meng Hongwei, who also holds the position of vice minister of public security in China, was "under investigation by the National Supervision Commission for alleged violations of laws."
Chinese authorities had previously remained tight-lipped about the whereabouts of Meng, following his sudden disappearance last month after he flew from France to China.
Sunday's statement did not specifically say that Meng had been arrested, or that he remains in China. However, previous suspects who have been described as "under investigation" by the National Supervisory Commission – the country's top anti-corruption agency – have often reappeared in the custody of the government at a later date.

In a separate development, Interpol said it had received Meng's resignation from the international police agency with "immediate effect" according to statement posted Sunday. It made no mention of the former president's sudden disappearance or his current whereabouts.
The South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong-based newspaper known for its connections inside the Chinese government, said Meng was "taken away" for questioning upon landing in China last week. The newspaper cited an unnamed source.

It comes just one week after one of China's best-known actresses, Fan Bingbing, reappeared following a lengthy disappearance, admitting to tax evasion and promising to pay a large fine.
"That China feels so emboldened to disappear even one of its most famous actresses … should be a real wake up call that anyone within China could be next," human rights advocate Michael Caster wrote for CNN in September.
'Wait for my call'
Meng's disappearance was first reported to authorities by his wife, Grace, who went to police in Lyon on Thursday, according to the French Interior Ministry.
She told police that she last heard from him 10 days prior and had received threats on social media and by telephone, according to the statement.
Speaking to reporters at a hotel in Lyon, France, Grace said that that her last contact with her husband came via a WhatsApp text message with a knife emoji and the instructions, "Wait for my call."
Meng Hongwei's wife says he sent her a knife emoji and the message, "Wait for my call."
Grace said her husband's whereabouts is a matter that "belongs to the international community."
"Although I can't see my husband, we are always connected by heart," she said.

Fan Bingbing's disappearance shows no one is safe from Beijing
The French Interior Ministry said through a spokesman it has no information to share about the text message Grace had received from her husband.
Interpol had asked Chinese authorities for information about Meng Hongwei. Interpol Secretary General Jurgen Stock said in a statement posted to Twitter on Saturday, "Interpol has requested through official law enforcement channels clarification from China's authorities on the status of Interpol President Meng Hongwei."
"Interpol's General Secretariat looks forward to an official response from China's authorities to address concerns over the President's well-being," the statement continued.
Interpol said Sunday night that South Korea's Kim Jong Yang, a vice president representing Asia on Interpol's executive committee, would serve as acting president until the organization's general assembly picks a permanent president next month.
Missing for days
Interpol, or the International Police Criminal Organization, facilitates international police cooperation.
Meng Hongwei, a former head of Interpol China, was elected president of the international organization in November 2016. He was the first Chinese official to become Interpol president, which is based in Lyon.

Fan Bingbing: China says missing actress fined for tax evasion
Meng oversaw the agency's executive committee, which sets overall strategy.
Following the announcement of Meng's appointment in 2016 there were concerns among human rights advocates that he could turn the organization towards Beijing's aims.
Instead, Meng could be the latest victim of the wide-ranging anti-corruption campaign put in place by Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012.
The campaign promised to crackdown on both the powerful as well as regular people, or "tigers and flies," and in the following six years, it has brought down powerful political figures in China, including former security tzar Zhou Yongkang, under whom Meng rose through the ranks of the Chinese security apparatus.
But some have criticized the campaign as partly a way for Xi to secure his hold on power and remove political opponents.
Meng was not on French soil when he was last seen, according a senior French law enforcement official, who declined to say whether he was in China.
The French government said that a "suitable police mechanism" was put in place to guarantee Grace Meng's safety, and that the prosecutor's office in Lyon has opened an investigation.
A spokeswoman for Interpol, who declined to give her name, refused to say whether Meng had been on official business in China.
CNN's Kelly McCleary and Steven Jiang contributed to this report.
