Adornment is literally superficial—it rests upon the body's surface. Yet personal ornaments constitute a fascinating field of material culture, as they can convey cultural identity—or what I prefer to term cultural intention. Cultural intention, a means of explaining human agency, is the wearing of objects that convey ethnicity and personal identity in a manner more immediate than verbal communication. How we present ourselves demonstrates both our group and regional belonging; it affects others' perceptions of us and provides an outlet for individual expression.
In every society, people dress and adorn themselves according to social conventions and the realization of two basic desires: differentiation and inclusion. Likewise, the importance of jewellery and costume in the study of ancient art, the processing of materials and fabrication techniques should not be underestimated. Therefore, ornaments are not simply aesthetic artifacts or costume embellishments but are also an effective symbolic medium to convey complex information and messages which cannot always be inferred from other archaeological evidence.
The Early Iron Age I–IIA period of the southern coastal plain of the Levant (ca. 1200-900 B.C.E.) has certain new features that suggest the appearance of the Philistines or other Sea Peoples. Recent studies have shifted the focus away from the traditional view of Philistia—comprising the pentapolis sites Ashdod, Askhelon, Ekron, Gath and Gaza—as being settled by migrating groups from the Aegean. The evidence suggests that in fact a wide range of cultural interactions within the broader region were responsible for changes in cultural material at the start of the Iron Age. Philistine sites display distinct combinations of local and non-local cultural attributes. In fact, the cultural groups in Philistia display variations across sites and over time, and reference to them as a discrete or homogeneous entity is misleading. Furthermore, the cultural relationships between Philistine sites and the eastern Mediterranean remain a primary focus, while connection to sites in Transjordan and beyond is little understood.

My analysis of Early Iron Age jewellery and costume is informed by these cross-cultural relationships. Using data drawn from sites in Israel and Jordan, and more broadily from Cyprus and the Aegean, I examine methods of cultural display, with a particular focus on the jewellery from Gath as a result of my involvement since 2010 in the ongoing Tell es-Safi/Gath archaeological excavation under the direction of Professor Aren M. Maeir.1 This involvement as part of an Australian contingent from the University of Melbourne (led by Associate Professor Louise Hitchcock) has provided me the opportunity to study the jewellery from one of the few Philistine burials to be excavated: Tomb 1 in Area T (see map, right).2

The results of this research suggest that adornment in the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age transition demonstrated two key issues that require further attention: first, the inclusion of a range of non-local customs as a form of either group solidarity through the continuity of older traditions or possibly the result of intermarriage; and secondly, that from the Iron Age I–IIA in particular, some forms were recontextualised by expressing Canaanite tradition through the lens of new regional social groups. This is particularly the case with a local form of a floral bud pendant earring, found at sites such as Beth Shemesh, Deir el Balah, Tell el-Far'ah and Tel Nami, that transforms into a tassel at the end of the Iron Age I. The clearest indication of this can be sought at Tell el-Far'ah (see image, left). The development of flower bud to tassel, a motif with both Western and Asiatic parallels, in the corpus of Levantine jewellery is contemporaneous with the appearance of Philistines in the region and perhaps heralds the visual demarcation of new identities according to ethnicity and status that may have been understood either by a cultural group or within a geographic area.
To date, the little known about Philistine dress and adornment also includes the heavily documented but poorly understood "feathered" headdress depicted in the mortuary temple of Rameses III at Medinet Habu in the reliefs of the land and sea battle between the Egyptian forces and the Sea Peoples. The feathered headdress-wearing individuals among the Sea Peoples have long been referred to as Philistines (or Peleset), although they are in fact also depicted on the Sea Peoples tribes known as Denyen and Tjekker (see images below). My research of this topic indicates that the headdress iconography can be found from northern Greece to Crete, from Italy to western Anatolia, Cyprus and the Near East, with extant parallels deriving from several Late Helladic III sites in Greece. Perhaps those who abandoned their cities during the period of unrest at the end of the Late Bronze Age to travel between Mediterranean ports with their ships and weapons joined a contingent drawn from the wider region who wore symbolic headdresses. These headdresses, I contend, were what drew these disparate maritime groups together.

While there are several indications of the adoption of non-local adornment traditions during the Early Iron Age in Philistia, most of these cannot yet be interpreted as "patterns" in material culture. They are simply the unsurprising result of multi-lateral forces that would have been an everyday reality for people living within reach of a coastal region of the Mediterranean.
I must stress, though, that to attempt an identification of cultural affiliation based purely on adornment is overly simplistic. The cultural matrix of a site or region must of course include a holistic view of the cultural material, of which personal adornment should be considered an important category. My aim is to provide a different set of data—one rarely used in archaeological reconstructions of the past—that has the capability of identifying individuals and their relationships to a larger group. Whether by jewellery or headwear, it is clear that, historically, individuals demonstrate public displays of communication to differentiate themselves from others while at the same time fostering inclusion within their own group.

Do you think that the beads as well as headdress could be a symbol of military rank or social status in the community?
Vorax says:
So many studies, so many scholars, years and sleepless nights passed analyzing those sea people. Linguistic, cultural remains, burials etc. Are they from here or from there…. And no one tried to extract the DNA from the skeletons of the philistine burials. ..who knows why. That simple strain of ribonucleic acid would have ended the debate once for all.
They do it for everything, but when it comes to this region it's somehow taboo to do it.
Egon H.E. Lass says:
Josephine, I'm part of the Ashkelon crew, now working on Persian flotation project. You can find my work on Microcommons and Academia. Have been finding hundreds of small beads in domestic context, in Iron I and II, and probably in the Persian period still in progress, waiting for analysis. Have used them intuitively as an indicator of gender (as in women's domain). Hope that this is justified, although there's no reason why men would not wear small beads, though I think, intuitively, that they would have preferred larger adornments. Would love to hear your take on this.

The Successor To The Jaguar F-Type Will Be Electrified
Alanis King

Good news! In a world of mid-size vehicles and sadness, Jaguar won't fully give into the crossover cash trap. The Jaguar F-Type, a strikingly beautiful machine that broke a nearly three-decade sports car hiatus at the company, will have a successor. And that successor will have an "electrified" powertrain.
The Manual Jaguar F-Type S Ruined Other Cars For Me
What you are looking at may be my favorite new car I've driven to date: the 2017 Jaguar F-Type S…
"Electrified" is a buzzword automakers like to use to make themselves look trendy and green, so before we talk about the new Jag, let's get that straight.
Jaguar committed itself to launching every new car after 2020 with some sort of electrification, which means the cars will have electric versions—full electric, hybrid or mild hybrid. A mild hybrid is a step between the gas engine and a full-on hybrid, as it has an electric engine that cannot power the car on its own.
So, it's not like the F-Type successor is committing itself to coming right out of the box as a full electric. Its electrification could be anything in that range. But, whether it be electric or only slightly electric, Automotive News reports that Jaguar will keep a sports car around:
Jaguar design chief Ian Callum, in Detroit last week, told Automotive News reporters and editors that the brand will not abandon the segment.
"We are going to do another range of sports cars eventually," said Callum, who has led Jaguar design since 1999. "[Sports cars] are not going to go away," he said.
... "There are a number of people in the world who think sports cars are finished because SUVs can get around a corner as quick as a sports car can, technology being what it is," said Callum. "But there is something very emotional about a sports car that conveys the ultimate in the sense of performance and design."
Automotive News reports that Callum didn't say anything about a timeline for the F-Type's eventual replacement, but that Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Joe Eberhardt confirmed the car will have an electrified powertrain just like the post-2020 lineup.
"Every new car launched after 2020 will have some form of electrification," [Eberhardt] said. "That is full electric, plug-in hybrid or mild hybrids."
Hooray for more environmentally-friendly burnouts in a future Jaguar sports car. Your tires may not thank you, but the air sure will.

Some might say the successor will be a Jagwire.

You will have to get a useful Best Paper Shredders 2019 for your business site if you need help with keeping your business data secure. Although you can place any paper into a recycling bin, this could be risky when you consider the data that has been printed out.
By not shredding, your data, everything you have utilized at a time will be easily visible, thus making it easier for people to identify some of the most intricate and specific things happening within your business.
But the good news is that you can get all that sensitive data destroyed through the use of a Best paper shredder. The best part is that today's best paper shredders are versatile and help you with destroying many bits of content that you might wish to get rid of.
Take a look at this listing of Best Paper Shredders in 2019 and you will find how well they can handle different shredding needs. These include models that can handle cards too.
Here are the Six of Best Paper Shredders For use in 2019.
The first of the shredders to use is this model from Boxis. The AF100 is designed mainly for businesses that have large-scale shredding needs, including groups that have massive archives that need to be shredded quickly through something other than just a standard shredding unit.
This model can handle as many as 100 sheets at a time. It operates at about 11 feet per minute, thus ensuring even the most extensive paper loads can be destroyed in little time. You can also use a manual feed intake that can hold as many as ten sheets.
The shredding mechanism cuts paper at a Din Level P-4 form. This means the pieces that are shredded are around 4 by 10 mm in size, thus ensuring the content would be extremely difficult for anyone to piece back together.
The motor can run for 20 minutes at a time. The extensive run time allows the shredder to work on shredding even the most difficult papers.
The waste bin can handle six gallons of paper at a time. You can pull the bin out or move it in with a simple handle.
Those who have basic shredding needs may utilize the Fellowes 62MC shredder. This uses slot that holds ten sheets at a time. This also uses P-4 security shredding for producing micro cut particles instead of the traditional lengthy strips that old shredders have produced.
The shredder comes with a five-gallon waste bin. The bin can be pulled out for quick emptying. The micro-cut system used by the shredder ensures that more waste can be stored into the bin before it has to be emptied. The micro-cut pieces do not take as much space as other items.
The compact body of the 62MC allows you to quickly move the shredder under a desk or any other compact spot. The shredder is around 18.75 inches in height, thus allowing you to add it into many tight spaces.
A safety lock is included on the top to disable the shredder when not in use. This ensures that children or pets will not be at risk of harm.
The versatility of this Aurora, the Best Paper shredders is helpful for people who have many things other than sheets of paper that they need to get shredded. The Aurora shredder can handle up to twelve sheets of paper at a time, but it can also destroy discs, credit cards and even small staples and paper clips.
The opening includes a surface that can be opened to insert large amounts of paper at a time. A small slot can also be found when the opening is closed. The slot is suitable for discs.
An auto-reverse feature is utilized in cases where the shredder notices there is a possible jam getting in the way. This can stop the shredder to keep it from being at risk of harm. The design works even in cases where you use the five-minute continuous operation feature.
The 1.8-gallon bin on the bottom part of the shredder is translucent. This allows you to see what is inside the shredder before you add something into it. You can remove the base part of the shredder from the top when you need to empty out the bin.
An intriguing part of this Bonsaii shredder is that it works with a small handle on the top. The handle lets you transport the shredder anywhere you want to bring it. The handle also lets you open up the bin that comes in the bottom part.
The paper that goes through the Bonsaii shredder will be cut into particles that are 5 by 45 mm in size, thus adding to the potential capacity of the 5.5-gallon basket. That basket can be removed out well through the handle.
The automatic start feature can handle up to twelve sheets of paper at a time. A manual option is also included.
A thermal protection sensor is utilized to identify the operating temperature of the shredder. The design ensures that the shredder will not overheat or otherwise be at a risk of significant damage.
One thing about Honeywell that many people don't know is that the company also makes office equipment. This paper shredder from the company is one example of what the company has to offer. This model operates with up to twelve sheets of paper at a time. It also has a dedicated slot for cards and discs. The slim slot can be found right above the main paper tray.
The three-position control lever lets you adjust the shredder based on your preferences. You can keep the unit on or off or set it to work with an automatic on/off feature. The shredder can work with a three-minute cycle time every 45 minutes on average.
The sensor identifies its temperature and shuts off when it becomes too hot. This keeps overheating from being a threat as you use the shredder.
Swingline is known mainly for its staplers, but the company also makes paper shredders that match up well with those said staples. Each Swingline shredder you can find comes with a sturdy body that can handle up to 60 sheets of paper at a time.
You can also use the manual feeding slot to handle five sheets of paper. This works with P-3 shredding to create small bits of paper that cannot be pieced together, not to mention it increases the capacity within the shredder bin.
The loading bin for larger quantities of paper lets you align the paper in a flat layout. You would then close the bin and turn on the power to allow the shredder to go through each sheet. You will notice how well the papers are being shredded by watching them go into the bin through the rectangular window on its body.
The layout of this shredder comes with a simple design for taking in more items at a time. Separate slots for cards and paper are included. This all works with a body that is around 16.25 inches deep, thus providing you with a setup that can be secured under a desk.
As you look for the best paper shredders 2019 for your use, you will have to look around to see what can work for your needs. There are many great choices for your use, but you should be aware of how well they may be utilized and that you have a good plan on hand for getting the most out of your work when taking care of difficult materials.

The Most Profound Metric of All
April 3, 2016 13:35 / 1 Comment on The Most Profound Metric of All
by John Brian Shannon | Apr 3, 2016
I'm glad we live in a world where more than one country has a Minister of State for Happiness.
Ohood Al Roumi, Minister of State for Happiness in the United Arab Emirates.
In contrast, the absence of a reasonable level of happiness means that all of our striving would ultimately prove to be in vain. It would be an unsustainable world where people spend their entire lives 'fighting the good fight' only to receive little or no reward at retirement and at points along the way towards retirement.
Why Hope for happiness? = Why Try? + Why Work?
Workers in the former Soviet Union used a phrase to illustrate this point; "As long as they pretend to pay us, we will pretend to work."
And so, due to a lack of national happiness (caused by economic hardship) eventually the whole corporation formerly known as the USSR, collapsed.
The example of the former Soviet Union should serve as a warning to leaders of every country that the final and most profound metric for human beings is happiness — everything from worker productivity, to corporate profit, to the ambient level of law and order throughout a given society, to the success of our entire civilization — all of this hinges on the happiness metric.
So far, only Bhutan with their decades-old Gross National Happiness (GNH) index, the UAE, Venezuela, and the United Nations have given this profound societal element any serious consideration.
Read: The Story of Gross National Happiness
Very recently, the state of Madhya Pradesh announced that it will be the first state in India to create a Department of Happiness.
Read: Madhya Pradesh creates a Department of Happiness
We employ 'reverse engineering' to our study of (all states of) matter in the universe, to the study of time, and to the study of the various lifeforms on this planet — shouldn't it follow that we use reverse engineering to study and measure the societies and cultures within our civilization?
By 'working it back' regardless of the (pro tempore) results, Bhutan, the UAE, Venezuela, and the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh gain a huge and ongoing advantage by exploiting the data from the most profound human metric of all — Happiness!
Isn't it interesting that the 'Happiest Nations' also lead the world in so many categories, including productivity, per capita income, the arts and sciences, and quality of life.

Here's The Misinformation Joe Biden Will Spread in His Coronavirus "Shadow Briefings"
The surge in support for President Trump's leadership must be causing the Biden campaign to panic. Joe Biden's nakedly political "shadow briefings" aimed at undermining the public health officials in charge of the coronavirus response efforts – as well as the President of the United States' uplifting message of hope and optimism – will not make Americans more safe.
Just today, the Biden campaign's "briefing" on the origins of the coronavirus fails to mention China even once, allowing the communist regime's misinformation campaign to go unchallenged, while spreading more debunked lies and misleading claims:
The Biden briefing video touts the creation of the NSC pandemic office in 2016 at the end of the Obama Administration while leaving out the fact that the Obama-Biden Administration scrapped the White House Health and Security Office in 2009, at the beginning of the administration.
The video falsely claims that under President Trump, "No one on the National Security Council staff was put in charge" of pandemics. As FactCheck.org determined, "some team members [of the NSC pandemic office] were shifted to other groups, and others took over some of [the top official's] duties."
Biden's politicization of the coronavirus outbreak is shameful. His "shadow briefings" will no doubt feature the same false information that fact checkers have already debunked:
The Biden campaign received four pinocchios for deceptively editing a video to make it appear as though President Trump called the coronavirus a "hoax."
Biden was fact-checked for his false claim that the Trump Administration rejected W.H.O. testing kits.
Biden was fact-checked for his misleading tweet that President Trump dissolved the NSC pandemic response office.
Biden was fact-checked for the lie that President Trump cut the CDC's budget.
Biden repeated the lie that President Trump told U.S. governors to fend for themselves.
Of course, the last time Biden was allowed to oversee the response to a pandemic, he made reckless comments unsupported by science and public health experts. The Obama White House had to clean up his mess and apologize for his ineptitude.
Biden has proven he has nothing new to add to the public discourse around the coronavirus,repeatedly plagiarizing from President Trump's plan and claiming Trump's ideas as his own.
And Biden has also shown poor judgment that would have led to more Americans getting the virus, siding with the Chinese in opposing President Trump's China travel restrictions, which have been credited with saving lives.
In his rush to politicize the pandemic, Biden is recklessly spreading false information and sowing fear.

Amber Tamblyn writes book of poetry about dead actresses
NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Amber Tamblyn writes about dead Hollywood actresses in her new book of poems. But "Dark Sparkler" is more than that.
"The book is about the lives and deaths of celebrity women in a certain way, but it's also about voyeurism, it's also about projection, it's also (about) ... what it's like to be an object for a living," Tamblyn, 31, said in a recent interview.
Each poem is about a female celebrity who died before the age of 40, including Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Rebecca Shaeffer.
It took Tamblyn six years to write, with a year off when it became too much for her.
She said it began with a poem she wrote for actress Brittany Murphy, who died in 2009 from a combination of pneumonia, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.
Tamblyn said she focused on women because "that's what I know. ... I understood the lives of these women more personally and in a deeper way."
"Dark Sparkler" is the third book of poetry by Tamblyn, who starred in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" films with Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel and America Ferrera and on TV in "House" and "Joan of Arcadia."
She talked about the book, published by Harper Perennial, her "Sisterhood" friends and actress Lindsay Lohan in a recent interview.
Associated Press: What impact did writing this book have on you?
Tamblyn: Studying your dead peers will get to you. Plain and simple. Reading autopsy report after autopsy report and listening to interviews. ... It's hard not to get obsessed and absorbed into that into the point where you start to lose your mind a little bit.
AP: Why did you focus on this dark topic?
Tamblyn: If anything, I wanted other young women to see how much (of) our interior pains are the same and at the end of the day what you feel is what I feel and it's very similar, but often times actors don't really get to express that in a true manner because of the way in which we are promoted or the way we promote ourselves.
AP: Was any story particularly hard?
Tamblyn: Dana Plato (who starred in TV's "Diff'rent Strokes" and died in 1999 at 34 from an overdose) was really difficult for me. ... I was like, 'I've got to step back.' ... That was a really hard one and kind of the moment I went, 'I just need to take five. Need to take a minute and remember I'm still alive.'
AP: There's a page for Lindsay Lohan with just her name and the rest is blank. Why did you do that?
Tamblyn: I think that she is sort of categorically one of the largest pop objects we have that we talk (about) and we project our own fears onto and project our own beliefs and judgments onto her and her life. It was my way of putting a blank page both for the media and people who have treated her in that way, but also it's a page ... where I get to say, 'You know, I'm not gonna write this poem for you. I'm not gonna put you in the category where everyone else puts you among these women. I'm putting you here because this is a poem about voyeurism and it's a book about people who also were subjected to that, but I'm not going to actually write the words the way other people do about your life and your future.' That's the way that I see it.
AP: Do you think your next poetry will be lighter?
Tamblyn: I actually have started working on my next book which will be a collection of love poems, so it will be the opposite. Warm and cozy.
AP: Was the bond immediate among your "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" co-stars?
Tamblyn: Pretty immediate and in the way that best friends have gone sort of in and out of each other's lives and sometimes we're really closer with one more than the other and sometimes you don't see someone for like a year and you get back together and it's like immediate and you catch up on all this stuff. It's like we were all raised together practically. Our friendships feel that way.

Providence Council President Matos 'alarmed' by report that City doesn't license gun retailers
Brian Amaral Journal Staff Writer bamaral44
Jan 16, 2020 at 9:56 AM Jan 19, 2020 at 12:43 AM
PROVIDENCE — City Council President Sabina Matos called for a "robust licensing process for local retail gun dealers" in response to a Providence Journal investigation showing the city had decided more than a decade ago that licensing was no longer necessary.
"I am alarmed to learn that the administration is of the position that licensing local retail gun dealers is optional," Matos said in an emailed statement. "In light of the numerous tragedies that have occurred locally and nationally because of gun violence, the City of Providence should be using every vetting tool available to prevent another incident from occurring."
The Journal found that a local gun dealer — who also happens to be a state senator — went to the city about 10 years ago to renew his license through the city to deal guns. The local license is in addition to a federal license through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
But, Democratic state Sen. Frank A. Ciccone III said, a Board of Licenses official told him the local retail gun dealer license was no longer necessary in Providence — even writing it on the face of his old license.
A state law says that retail gun dealers must get a license from their city or town to sell or transfer firearms.
The city administration initially said that "while state law allows the city to issue these types of licenses it does not require the city to do so," and deferred to the ATF about the retailers.
Then the city said that it didn't have any such retailers — even though it does, under the definition it provided for what a "retailer" actually is.
Said Matos: "We shouldn't be delegating our public safety responsibilities to a federal entity and shrugging away our local control. I call on the administration to comply with state law as interpreted by the Attorney General's Office and to administer a robust licensing process for local retail gun dealers."
In response to Matos's statement, Emily Crowell, a spokeswoman for Mayor Jorge Elorza (who took office after Ciccone said he got the pen-amended license), echoed an earlier comment in an email: "At this time, our licensing and public safety teams are reviewing the current FFL's and will consult with the law department and the AGs office if there is any change."

What are Trench Shoring Cages?
Trench shoring cages are used to support a wall when someone enters a trench with a wall greater than 1.2m (1.2m.=4ft) deep except when the trench is cut in sound and stable rock or sloped to within 1.2m of the bottom of the trench. If the trench is more than 1.2 m deep, the employer must ensure that either the trench is sloped at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal or has trench shoring cages installed. If the trench is cut in sandy soil or if the material is wet, the angle slope should be shallower as sandy and wet soils collapse very easily.
When the walls or crests of a trench are cut in rock, the employer must ensure that rock bolts, wire mesh, or equivalent protection supports the walls. If mobile equipment is used near the edge of a trench, the employer must ensure that the trench shoring cages for the trench is adequate to support the increased load. When working in a trench and concerned about a nearby utility pole becoming unstable, the employer must ensure that a utility pole, building or other structure is provided support or removed if it can become unstable due to trenching activity. The employer must ensure water is not a hazard to anyone working in the trench. Examples of hazards due to water in the trench are electrical equipment in the trench or weakening of the soil and support walls. It is advised that before a person enters a trench, if they can be exposed to a hazardous substance or to an oxygen rich atmosphere in the trench, the employer must ensure testing is performed to determine the concentration of oxygen and any hazardous gas and adequate precautions are taken to reduce the risk of injury to that person. All temporary excavations greater than 1.2m in depth (1.2m.4ft) require fences, guards or barricades that can prevent a person from falling into the excavation.

Shimla: The Himachal Pradesh High Court today dismissed the petition of Union Steel Minister Virbhadra Singh seeking transfer of investigation in a corruption case against him to the CBI, paving the way for filing of a charge-sheet against him.
Dismissing the petition, a division bench of High Court comprising Chief Justice Kurian Joseph and Justice Deepak Gupta, said it was neither an appropriate case nor in a stage to grant the prayer to transfer the investigation to the CBI from state vigilance bureau.
"Since the investigation is in progress in the said case, we do not propose to make any further comment on that and it is unnecessary for us to go into that matter, at this stage. Under the circumstances, we do not find it as the appropriate stage for the petitioners to invoke extraordinary jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of Constitution as an appropriate case for change of investigating agency," the court ruled.
The case is under investigation but the position is that nobody has seen what the police report is and without seeing the police report, it is not proper for this court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution to decide as to whether it is an appropriate case and whether it is the appropriate stage for the Court to issue a direction for change of investigating agency," the division bench observed.
The rejection of the petition had paved way for filing a charge-sheet against him in the court of Special Judge, Shimla as all stays granted earlier, restraining the government from filing the charge-sheet also stand vacated.
In the petition, Virbhadra Singh had pleaded that after Prem Kumar Dhumal became chief minister of Himachal in December 2007, the government registered a case against him and his wife on August 3, 2008, under the Prevention of Corruption Act on the basis of an audio CD released by his political adversary Vijay Singh Mankotia in May 2007.
According to police, Virbhadra Singh was heard allegedly referring to some monetary transactions on phone with late IAS officer Mahinder Lal.The CD also allegedly contained the voices of his wife and some industrialists.
Singh had earlier filed a similar petition which was dismissed by Justice Kuldeep Singh on September 4 but immediate implementation of the judgment was stayed for two weeks to enable him to approach the appropriate court. Before the expiry of the deadline, Singh filed another petition which was dismissed today by division bench.
The Vigilance Bureau is ready with the charge-sheet which is likely to be filed today itself, a vigilance official said.
Full High Court judgment can be read here.


A report released later today will warn of the dangers of the world's dwindling food resources.
The report, Global Food and Farming Futures, asks how a future global population of nine billion people be fed sustainably.
The report examines the challenges of balancing future demand and supply sustainably without furthering the impact of climate change.
By 2030 food production will need to increase by 50% and this will have a huge impact on climate change if not managed well.
The report is expected to suggest using current technology such as GM crops to assist farmers in developing countries to store crops and avoid waste.

You know, I can't get over the fact that in the last one, Laurie pounded the sh*t out of Michael Myers at the end of the last one. So what, is Michael alive? After suffering numerous strikes to the head like that? Unless PrevalentMind is right and we've all been duped into watching the pirated version without knowing it. YIKES!

Adam Rich Wiki, Bio, Wife, Girlfriend or Gay
5 feet 5 inches(165 cm)
Best known as Nicholas Bradford in Eight Is Enough, Adam Rich was born on October 12, 1968. For his appearance in the show from 1977-1981, he was also known as "America's little brother." During his days as a child actor, his bowl haircut was something noticeable which inspired many parents to emulate the look for their young sons. Apart from this, he has appeared in many tv shows and movies with a prominent role and guest appearances. Forty six year old Rich is said to earn the net worth of $1 million dollars.
As a child, Adam was a very brilliant student and also was good in sports including Football, swimming, bicycle riding, skateboarding and baseball. Apart from acting and sports, he also showed interest in drawing. At the age of eight, Rich won the role of Nicholas and was able to give justice to the role with his realistic and natural acting. He was very much admired and praised for his performance as Nicholas. After Eight Is Enough, Adam appeared in the 1983 sitcom Gun Shy on CBS and 1981 TV series Code Red on ABC.
At the age of fourteen, Rich was found smoking marijuana. In the year 1986, at the age of seventeen, Adam was dropped out from high school. After three years in 1989, he almost died of a Valium overindulge. In the year 1991, Adam was charged and in prison with attempted burglary of a pharmacy. In the mean time, San Francisco-based magazine Might published news saying Adam to be murdered which was a media swindle. He was also arrested for driving under the influence in 2002. Till the day, Adam has been to rehabilitation center for three times.
Adam is a handsome man with a well-maintained physique. Even he is used to drugs, he looks very healthy, fit and fine. Adam stands tall with the height of 1.65m i.e. five feet five inches tall. His physique can be seen in his shirtless pictures posted on different sites of the media. On his journey as an Actor, he had many rumors and news about him regarding his drug abuse and him to be a gay, as he had no any news provided about his relationship status. No any news was there about his dating with his beautiful girlfriend. He still has maintained privacy in his relationship, him to be married or not and his wife. As there is no news about his wife, there are no chances of getting news about their kids and their divorce.
Though, being a talented actor, Adam was not able to establish himself in the industry in the later days due to some issues of drugs in his personal life. If he had worked more hard and was dedicated towards his work, he would achieve more then what he has today. Till the day, Rich has appeared with guest appearances in many television series like The Six Million Dollar Man, The Love Boat, Baywatch, CHiPS, St. Elsewhere and Fantasy Island. To know more about him, one can go through his biography on wiki. He can also be followed in twitter.

The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2013/04/18/peoples-school-takes-arts-quad-at-cornell/)
'People's School' Takes Arts Quad at Cornell
The People's School, an open, student-organized forum, returned to the Arts Quad Thursday as a spring installment of the same-titled event held in October.
The People's School invited people to start discussions about community concerns, according to event organizers, and held events over the course of the day, including discussions in the form of circles of people sitting on the Quad.
Topics discussed during the course of the day-long forum ranged from ideas like collective liberation to current issues such as divestment, white privilege and police brutality.
At noon, "the stump," a wooden pedestal meant to commemorate the 1960's "stump" that was a center of student activism, was also brought out of winter storage for the event.
A poetry slam took place atop the stump, which was then moved to Ho Plaza, where it will remain until further notice, possibly through the summer, according to Marshall.
"The People's School is a group of students, faculty and staff seeking to engage in genuine learning," said Christian Turner '13, who led discussions during the forum on the topic of community.
Daniel Marshall '15, a People's School organizer and member of the Barton Hall Community, a group of students that aim to "build community through discussion and action."
"The hope is that some people want to do something with [the People's School]," Marshall said. "It's sort of an assumption, too. If you get people in a public space together to talk about their experiences in any way that they want to, you'll get some sort of collective effervescence, and you'll get some sort of organization out of that."
Even though there have only been two People's Schools this academic year, Marshall said he thinks that this kind of discussion may be more prevalent in the future, especially since topics like sexual assault, focused on in October's forum, are still relevant to students.
"The issues that brought us here before have not been really dealt with," Marshall said. "I think one of the insights of the last People's School is that these are issues of community and issues of culture. When you think about 'how do you build culture,' 'how do you build community,' it's with conversations and people meeting each other in public spaces and talking about it. It's the beginnings of a slow process that might turn into people expecting to see things like this on campus, and then wondering why it doesn't exist."
Other organizers of the event also praised the mission of the People's School.
"I think the People's School is about building a legacy of public discourse at Cornell, in Ithaca and our communities back home," Michael Ferrer '16 said.
Aubree Keurajin '15 said that the People's School forum offers an experience not available in everyday student life.
"I think it's really important that there's a space that people are able to come to and have the conversations that need to happen, and there isn't a space for that in other places," said Keurajin, who led a discussion about divestment.
Ihsan Kabir '13 said that the forum was incredibly easy to participate in and learn from, even if one didn't necessarily have a lot of background understanding of the topic.
"I think a big part of environmental justice and social justice is education," Kabir said. "I think [the People's School] is a fantastic means to do that. For someone who had only a one or two article background in learning about collective liberation, I thought they were very receptive [to me]."

Title: Lance Burton
Subject: Ed Alonzo, Norm Nielsen, Mark Kalin and Jinger, The Pendragons, Magic (illusion)
Collection: 1960 Births, American Magicians, Las Vegas Entertainers, Living People, Magician of the Year Award Winners, People from Louisville, Kentucky, Professional Magicians
Columbia, Kentucky USA
William Lance Burton (born March 10, 1960 in Columbia, Kentucky) is an American stage magician.[1] He performed more than 15,000 shows in Las Vegas for over 5,000,000 people.[2] In 2010 he ended his 31-year career.[2]
Professional History 1
Television appearances 1.1
Burton first became interested in magic at the age of 5, when he was one of the volunteers at a magic show of Magician Harry Collins during a Christmas party at the Frito-Lay plant where his mother worked. The trick was The Miser's Dream, where Collins "pulled silver dollars out of the sky" and Burton's ears. The young Burton was fascinated, and a neighbor, hearing of his interest, gave him a book, Magic Made Easy, which her own (then-grown) children had used. It contained ten tricks, all of which young Burton quickly learned. His first performances were for neighborhood children, charging them a nickel each.
Collins, a full-time magician, noticed the interest, and became his mentor when Burton was in his teens, teaching him the fundamentals of the trade. In 1977, as a teenager, Burton entered his first magic competition and won first prize. In 1980, shortly after his 20th birthday, he was awarded a "Gold Medal of Excellence" from the International Brotherhood of Magicians. After that, he moved to Southern California, where within a week he appeared on The Tonight Show (on October 28, 1981). Through the course of Burton's career he was invited back for a total of ten performances while Johnny Carson was host, and another ten performances during Jay Leno's tenure. Burton has also appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
He performed an initial eight-week trial at the Folies Bergère show in Las Vegas, and this was then extended for a record-breaking nine years. In 1982, he competed at the international Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM) competition in Lausanne, Switzerland, and won the "Grande Prix" prize, (the main event of the FISM competition). He was the youngest person to ever win the main event, and the first American to do so.[3]
In 1986, he guest starred on Knight Rider in the Season 4 episode "Deadly Knightshade" as the mastermind magician behind the murder of a Foundation trustee.
In 1986, he appeared in Nickelodeon's Halloween Special Mystery Magical Special.
In 1991, he produced, directed, and wrote his own show, which opened at the Hacienda Hotel and ran for five years.
He had a brief marriage to magician Melinda Saxe in August 1993, but they divorced shortly after.
For his Top Secret special that first aired on February 24, 1999, at Buffalo Bill's Hotel & Casino in Primm, Nevada, Burton staged an illusion in which he appeared to escape the path of a speeding roller coaster while on the tracks of "The Desperado". The Desperado is one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the United States – taking one minute to climb, and 3.5 seconds to descend to where he was on the tracks. He appeared to avoid the coaster by a mere tenth of a second, the trick having apparently gone wrong. After the "narrow escape", he looked at the camera and said "I was stupid...I was really stupid."[4]
In August 1994, Burton signed a 13-year contract (the longest contract given, at that point, to any entertainer in Las Vegas history) with the Monte Carlo Resort in Las Vegas. The 1,274-seat Lance Burton Theater was built to Burton's specifications for his show, cost $27million, and opened on June 21, 1996. Entertainment Today magazine listed it as the #1 family magic act, and during its 13-year run Burton earned an estimated $110million.[5]
Burton has had four network television specials, his last one being Lance Burton: On The Road with guest stars Ali Landry and Dylan Ace.
In 2004, Burton celebrated his tenth anniversary at the Monte Carlo by introducing an illusion entitled "Solid Gold Lady," for which he used $10million in gold.
In 2006, he appeared on the Labor Day Weekend Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.
On July 1, 2009, Burton signed a six-year contract extension with the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino (where he had performed since 1994), which would continue his contract until 2015. However, the contract was ended five years earlier than planned, and the final show was performed on September 4, 2010.[6]
Burton appeared on an episode of the History channel series American Restoration, televised November 1, 2010, in which the Rick's Restorations crew repaired a lightpole at Burton's residence that had been destroyed in a windstorm.
He won the Masters Fellowship from the Academy of Magical Arts.
He has twice been awarded "Magician of the Year" by the Academy of Magical Arts.
He won the Grand Prix Award at FISM in 1982 for his performance, where Burton stood in a street scene in traditional top hat and tails and spectacularly produced doves, candles and gentleman's walking canes, seemingly from nowhere.

Louisville Police Department fires two…
Louisville Police Department fires two detectives involved in fatal shooting during Breonna Taylor raid

By Amir Vera and Ganesh Setty | CNN
The Louisville Police Department fired two detectives connected to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, according to copies of the officers' termination letters.
Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, was shot and killed by Louisville police officers in her apartment during a flawed forced-entry raid in the early morning hours of March 13, 2020.
Detective Myles Cosgrove was fired Tuesday for use of deadly force for firing 16 rounds into Taylor's home and failing to activate his body camera, according to a copy of his termination letter.
Detective Joshua Jaynes, who had written the search warrant for the raid on Taylor's home, was also fired Tuesday for "failing to complete a Search Warrant Operations Plan form" and being untruthful about verifying that Taylor's previous boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, had been receiving packages at Taylor's home, according to a copy of his termination letter obtained by CNN.
The detectives had received pre-termination letters last week, according to the attorneys for the men.
Cosgrove and Jaynes can appeal the dismissal, which would prompt a review by the LMPD Merit Board and could ultimately lead to a public hearing.
CNN has reached out to their attorneys as well as the Fraternal Order of Police.
Taylor's death, along with that of other Black people at the hands of law enforcement, sparked a summer of protests calling for police reform.
No officer who took part in the raid was charged for Taylor's actual killing. Only one of the three officers — Brett Hankison — was charged in connection with the shooting. In September, a grand jury charged Hankison with three counts of felony wanton endangerment for blindly firing 10 shots into Taylor's home. He pleaded not guilty.
LMPD fired Hankison in June 2020.
As a result of the grand jury's decision, Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, asked the Kentucky Prosecutors Advisory Council to appoint an independent prosecutor to present the case of her daughter's death before a new grand jury. She said Attorney General Daniel Cameron's handling of the case "undermines the trust and integrity of the entire process."
Cameron has said Cosgrove fired the fatal shot — which he said was justified because Taylor's boyfriend fired at officers first.

"At minimum, my daughter deserves, as do all aggrieved victims, a competent and capable prosecution team which is committed to properly investigating the case, evaluating the law from an unbiased lens, presenting the evidence and allowing the grand jurors to perform the functions guaranteed to them under the law," Palmer wrote in her request for relief.
The advisory council declined to appoint a special prosecutor in December, saying they did not have the legal authority to do so, according to a report by CNN affiliate WDRB.

This is a simple soup I made last week, with squash from the farmers market. Nothing fancy, just a pureed squash soup with an orange twist. Fall spices for depth, some carrots, potato for body, garlic, and onions.
Cut a square of cheesecloth big enough to make a bag for the spices, herbs, and orange peel.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe I have not yet made soup! This looks super fantastic!
I just made this tonight for dinner, and it is soooo good!! I had to refrain from eating half of it at once.
Thank you so much, and I really enjoy your blog.
Made this yesterday (despite it being Spring here in Queensland – there are always lots of lovely local pumpkins all year round) and it was delicious. Even better today for lunch. Thank you for posting it.
This might be controversial, but with roasted kabocha, I don't peel it at all except for the really scabby bits. In my experience, it softens completely, adds a little color contrast, and doesn't make any noticeable taste or texture difference in the finished dish.
Okay this recipe sounds AMAZING. I have to go out and get the ingredients for this. Also, I've never seen this blogging format before, its so dreamy and makes me feel like I'm getting to really know someone. This post made me feel, warm. Going to sit down with a bowl of that soup tomorrow for dinner.
That's great you have been able to reach out to others in need as well. I love the list of things here, and the soup looks pretty amazing as well. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, so I am all up for the me too listen and hug. Hope things are going well for you this week. But after this I am going to have to check out the recipe for the apple pizza. Sounds to die for . . .and I know for a fact my daughter would want it.
My tactic for difficult to peel squash is to avoid the challenge altogether. I simply roast the squash after cutting it in half and scoop it out of its peel. An extra step sure, but the soup comes together even quicker after the fact.
I adore a nice bowl of soup in the fall weather, there is nothing quite like it. I love how you describe it as a hug, that really made me smile because it's so true!
These kinds of soups are my favorite! I love a good and thick vegetable purée. It reminds me of a seasonal soup served at Panera.
OMG your Lucy is too naught guarding her stash! Is she always like that?
Ah I can't say NO for this soup, truly warms every heart.
Huh. Today, I spent three hours baking, scooping, and pureeing winter squash. (And I have three Animals running around me while I'm doing this. Phew.) I grew many pounds of winter squash in my garden this year, and aside from looking very cheerful, the squashes also taste awesome. Especially the cute little pie pumpkins. I froze all the pureed stuff I made today (for pies and bread and some killer cake), but I was really hankering for some soup. I kind of make squash soup like you do, but the black quinoa garnish on the top? Yum!

North Myrtle Beach High School inducts nine into its Athletic Hall of Fame
John Smithson January 31, 2019	Local NMB News Leave a comment
It was a night of celebration and memories as nine members were added to the North Myrtle Beach High School's Athletic Hall of Fame. The fourth Hall of Fame class since 2015 was introduced during the break between the North Myrtle Beach-Myrtle Beach basketball games on Friday night. Saturday evening at 6:30 they were brought to the stage, given their Hall of Fame plaques and listened while Milton Gore introduced each new member and read their list of accomplishments.
Selection to the Hall was based on each person's devotion to the school's athletic teams or program over the years, and it was apparent from their biography and their thank you comments why each had been selected.
The first inductee was Charles Causey from the class of 1964 at Wampee-Little River High School. Charles was a three- sport athlete at the school, playing football, basketball and baseball. He lettered in each sport over his time at the school. In his remarks Causey reminisced about his time in school and the game of golf. He also took time to speak to the young people of today. "I would like to tell all the young athletes, when you are playing athletics, it's not you that makes you the athlete you can become. It's through your coaches and their leadership. For they have been there and done everything you are trying to do. With their help you can be standing where I am tonight later on in your life," Causey said.
Angie Livingston-Randall was the next inductee honored. Angie graduated from Chestnut Consolidated High School in 1965. Angie was a varsity basketball player from the seventh grade through graduation and was chosen as captain and co-captain of the team, as well as most valuable player. Angie thanked the Hall of fame Committee and stated it was an honor to be selected. She also spoke about basketball and life. "As a young girl we used to talk about basketball. My mother was a basketball player. As I got older I enjoyed basketball and kept at it. We got a team together and we did pretty well and won a few games."
"But you have to have basketball at heart. Today I still do have it at heart. At the old Chestnut we played many games and practiced a lot. When we finished practice we would have to hit the road and walk home. I have to thank my team for being able to stand here tonight. In life you can't sit down and not look forward to the future. Stay busy and keep trying to touch these young athletes. Donate and do something to encourage them."
"I have enjoyed my journey. I have said 'Lord, will I ever gain some flowers before I leave Your side?' I want You to know this is one of those flowers," Livingston-Randall said.
Third to the stage was the Rev. Gilbert F. Vaught. Gilbert was a member of the class of 1973 at North Myrtle Beach High School. During his years at the school, he led his team with 16 rebounds per game and was the team's leading scorer and was named defensive player of the year.
Vaught also took the time to thank the many people who attended the induction. "I want to thank God for everyone who came out to support us tonight. I was part of the bridge between Chestnut and North Myrtle Beach High School. In 1969 I went out for basketball, didn't make it but came back in 1970 pushing and running. To get better you have to follow your internal GPS. I am here because of the grace, mercy and favor of God. After that first year I worked hard, played basketball from sun-up to sun-down." "I had to hone my skills. You can't be a good athlete unless you work hard, work while others are sleeping. People and teammates pushed me to be better. The reason that I am here today is the help support and urging of my teammates and coaches. If you go through difficult times, you don't give up. You press forward believing you can make it. Young athletes have to have accountability, courage and endurance, always pressing forward believing you can make it," Vaught said.
Cary Stoffel followed Vaught to the stage. Cary graduated in 1974 after moving to the area in 1971. Cary played on the high school's golf team under then coach Dave Dickson and was the team captain. He also played football his senior year as a punter and wide receiver. Cary won the SC High School State Golf Championship in 1974 as the individual low gross player.
Stoffel talked about his career in golf and journey to North Myrtle Beach. "My dad started me out young in golf. I got a lot of exposure to the game because of my dad. I remember visiting Augusta national at the Masters, seeing Jack Nicklaus and knowing that golf was what I wanted to pursue. Our family moved to North Myrtle Beach in my 10th grade. I remember being at a new school but also remember how nice everyone was here. I made some of my best friends while living here."
"I would like to thank Dave Dickson for being a great golf and football coach, as well as a mentor and friend. I want to thank the nominating committee for this honor and for thinking of me. It has truly been an honor to play for North Myrtle Beach. It was exciting to live in such a great place. Thanks also to my wife, the love of my life, and to all of you for coming," Stoffel said.
The next inductee was Evelyn Gause from the North Myrtle Beach class of 1978. Evelyn played JV basketball in 7th and 8th grades and varsity basketball until graduation. She was known for her basketball skills and her leadership and school spirit.
"Thank you all, especially the committee. I never thought that I would be here. Thanks to the many teachers I had at North Myrtle Beach High School while I was here. Coach Rivers and his wife Teresa taught me more than basketball and physical education. Other teachers like Mr. Moore, Lonnie Chestnut and Mr. Floyd – these were people who influenced me then and into the future that I did not know I had. I also thank the most important people in my life, my family. These are the people who supported me, who were always there for me. Thank you all for coming and for your support," Gause said.
Margo Chestnut from the high school's class of 1983 was saluted for her basketball skills, which she sharpened for many years, starting with play on the JV team, where she was named MVP. She followed that with MVP honors while playing three years on the varsity squad. Margo was named best defensive player in 1980 and 1981 and was named to the All-Area team in 1982 and 1983. She was also named to the South All Star Team in 1983.
"I want to begin giving honor to God, who is first in my life. My hat also goes off to my late parents, Gaston and Ruth Chestnut, for giving me the strength, support and endurance in order to be successful. To all past, present and future Hall of Fame members, especially to my uncle Alvin Watson who was chosen in the first class, I, Margo Chestnut am so very proud of this award. To my daughter, my family and friends, thank you for attending this awesome occasion. 'Once a Chief, always a Chief!'," Chestnut said.
Sean Hardwick from the class of 1989 was inducted next. Sean participated in sports at the high school from 1986 to the spring of 1989. He lettered twice in football, four years in baseball and one year in cross country. He finished 20th in the state meet in the 5K run in his senior year. He also was a JV quarterback and tight end and defensive end his sophomore and junior years. He was best known for his baseball prowess with multiple state records for wins, strikeouts and earned run average.
Sean was very appreciative of his induction. "I really thank everyone on the committee for thinking about me. I have a lot of memories of my mom and dad and thank them for letting me throw the baseball against our house. I had a spot worn out about knee high there. They supported me, and my brother was my catcher in those days. I got to play a lot of sports, but baseball was my love."
"My baseball coach John Walker had a huge impact on me and my faith in God. I also must thank coach Joe Quigley and coach Don Wiggins, who did a great job and taught me how to work hard. Also thanks to football coach Harold Dunlap and coach David Smalls in basketball. Most of my life has not been here. But this place leaves a mark on you. I was a pitching coach for one year at Coastal, but during that time I walked into the local Ryan's, met my wife to be and eleven kids later am here. I am honored to be here, thankful in so many ways for the people in my life who have made a difference," Hardwick said.
Wade Lewis from the class of 1990 was the next inductee honored. Wade joined the JV football team, became their kicker and punter, and later that year joined the school's first soccer team that made the playoffs that year. Wade started on the varsity football team as a sophomore, playing running back, defensive back and all the kicking. He was selected to the Sun News Toast of the Coast football team and started on the soccer team that went to the Lower State finals. Wade also kicked a school record 55 yard field goal in his junior year.
In his senior year Lewis was chosen Player of the Week four times, Specialty Teams Player of the Year, was named to the Sun News Toast of the Coast football team, played in the North-South All Star Football Game and the North-South All Star Soccer game.
"I want to thank the Hall of fame for this. I am very happy to be included in such a fine group. I want to thank my mom and dad and I am honored to have my children here tonight to see this. I have been blessed in many ways. It isn't hard to remember those high school glory days. I was a soccer player and Coach Smalls saw me kick a football and invited me to be on the team.'
Football is a team sport where you execute, carry out assignments and practice a lot. I remember football camp at St. Andrew's College. In that camp you practiced three times a day, unless you didn't do well one day. Then you practiced four times. We needed the practice in those days.'
"I remember being voted the MVP in the North-South game in a 3-0 final score. As I went out to kick that field goal I was talking to God. He was telling me it was going to be okay. It was the last football kick I ever attempted in a game. I really want to thank you all for the opportunity to relive all these great memories and thank you for being here tonight," Lewis said.
Clark Callahan was the last inductee honored as a Booster Club Member. Since moving to the North Myrtle Beach area in 1978, Clark always was an active part of the community and sporting activities at all levels. He coached several years of Dixie Youth baseball. Over the last 40 years his involvement with city and school athletics has included sponsorships of school activities as well as his personal generosity. Clark rebuilt the NMB High School baseball facility after it was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. He also has helped a North Myrtle Beach High School student athlete through college and has been an integral member of the school's Booster Club. Athletic director Joe Quigley spoke about the giving nature of Callahan, especially after the death of his first wife, when Callahan had a golf tournament to assist him and even provided a van to help his young family get around. "I was a personal recipient of Clark's generosity. What he did for me personally was wonderful. He is still donating and giving to this school and our community," Quigley said.
Clark and Eric Callahan received the plaque in place of their father. "We are accepting this on behalf of my dad who could not attend because of health issues," Callahan said. Then he read his father's statement. "Thank you so much for this induction into the North Myrtle Beach High School Athletic Hall of Fame. It has been a privilege to be a part of North Myrtle Beach High School athletics and this community. I am very proud to say that my three children graduated from North Myrtle Beach High School and I am honored to be inducted into its Hall of Fame."
