Retirement Plan Advisors, Ltd. (RPA, fondly) needed to modernize their brand and website. Retirement planning can be a confusing and scary topic, so the goal was to modernize and offer content with a modern visual appeal.
In addition, RPA is a registered fiduciary. Most registered financial advisors are only held to a "suitability" standard – their recommendations and actions for a client are required to be merely suitable. By registering as a fiduciary, RPA is required by law to do everything solely in the client's best interest. This higher standard needed to be apparent in their branding and website.
Develop a modern and elegant brand identity.
Apply identity across applications from print to web.
Provide usable brand guidelines for customer.
During the discovery process, we identified several areas the client wanted to explore with their new branding: space, simple shapes, and bold colors. Once rebranded, the new website and other applications needed to be user friendly, not intimidating, modern, easily understood, and written in a friendly language.
After meeting with the client, we created several logo concepts. Each concept has a mark, distinctive fonts, and a color palette. As you can see from this sampling, the client quickly determined a color story they wanted to stick with and decided the simpler the better (which we're totally on board with!).
Many financial advisors use lighthouses (yeah we did one of those for another client, but it was cool), oak trees, and a few other common visual themes. RPA originally thought they'd like an astronomical theme, but after exploring several of those, we-all headed in different directions. We also decided to explore directional marks and once the mark was chosen, we explored many font options and weights. Here's a sampling, because seeing is believing!
Here is the final logo!
Branding isn't static and must work across multiple applications.
We worked closely with their team to redefine RPA's branding from logo to language and extended that into a stationery system and responsive website. The brand guidelines allow them to now utilize these elements across multiple applications as well as the training they needed to manage the content on their new website.

Beal-Smith rushes for 3 TDs, Wake Forest eases past Campbell
By BOB SUTTON
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) Christian Beal-Smith ran for three touchdowns and Donavon Greene returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown as Wake Forest won for the first time this season by defeating Campbell 66-14 on Friday night.
Wake Forest (1-2) matched the fourth-most points in program history, aided by collecting four Campbell turnovers.
"I liked the turnovers," Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said. "I liked the pressure we got and the sacks we got."
Beal-Smith scored from 2 and 10 yards out in the first quarter, giving the redshirt junior his first career two-touchdown game. He tacked on a 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Kenneth Walker III scored on a 12-yard run, Sam Hartman threw a touchdown pass and Zion Keith returned an interception 45 yards for a score as part of Wake Forest's domination. Greene's return marked the Demon Deacons' first kickoff return for a touchdown in 13 years.
"There was like three major blocks I was reading," Greene said.
Hartman completed 12 of 16 passes for 166 yards as the Demon Deacons won in their lone nonconference outing of the season.
Campbell (0-4), a Football Championship Subdivision program, completed its abbreviated fall schedule, which consisted of four road games against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents.
"We got through it. A lot of people didn't think so," Camels coach Mike Minter said. "We were able to get through these four weeks. I'm proud of that fact."
Campbell quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams was 17 for 29 for 187 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Williams and receiver Mason Donaldson each threw and caught a touchdown pass, with Donaldson's pass going to Williams on a 26-yard third-quarter trick play.
Wake Forest, which led 24-7 at halftime, scored three touchdowns in the first nine minutes of the third quarter, beginning with Hartman's 9-yard toss to Taylor Morin.
Since the pandemic, it was the first major-college sporting event with fans permitted, at 7% of stadium capacity, in the state of North Carolina. About 2,200 spectators were on hand.
"It seemed like a loud and obnoxious crowd after the first two games," Clawson said.
Campbell botched a chance on a game-opening 12-play drive when Robert Brown missed a 27-yard field goal. On their next two snaps, the Camels lost the ball on turnovers.
The game was moved up one week to accommodate Wake Forest's schedule. The Demon Deacons' scheduled Sept. 26 game with Notre Dame was postponed until December because of Notre Dame's coronavirus concerns. Shifting the Campbell-Wake Forest game prevented the Demon Deacons from having two consecutive weeks without a game.
"The only way to get better as a football team is to play football games," Clawson said. "We just have to make sure we're making the best use of that time (off). . We just have to learn on the fly."
Campbell: The Camels dropped to 0-8 all-time against FBS competition, including the four losses this season. Campbell dropped those games this year by an average of 26.5 points, beginning with a one-point setback at Georgia Southern.
Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons have returned two interceptions for touchdowns this season after Keith's runback.
"All I could think about in my head was `Don't drop this ball,' " Keith said. "Guys don't only want to create turnovers, but want to score touchdowns."
PROTECT THE PUNTER
It marked the first time in Wake Forest's recorded history that it didn't attempt a punt in a game. So it was an inactive night for punter Ivan Mora, who was called upon for 10 attempts across the first two games.
"We went the entire game without punting, which is hard to do," Clawson said.
Campbell: This ended the fall season for the Camels, who've indicated they'll pass on playing a potential spring schedule set up by the Big South Conference.
Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons are slated for what will become an open week for the second time in three weeks before playing host to Virginia on Oct. 17.

Are you ready to get your scare on? Halloween is just around the corner, and there's a creepy feeling in the air. Now all you need is the perfect horror flick to get your scare-a-thon on. Your go-to spot? iflix has all you need to keep the thrills coming from start to finish.
In the original film's iconic opening scene, Drew Barrymore is seen answering the phone only to find a menacing voice on the other end. As she runs out the door to escape, she becomes the first victim of the serial killer "Ghostface" terrorizing the sleepy little town of Woodsboro. Suddenly nobody is safe, as the psychopath stalks victims, taunts them with trivia questions, then rips them to bloody shreds. It could be anybody and you could be the next victim. This was also the movie where Courtney Cox and David Arquette first met, and later fell in love.
In this latest remake of the cult classic based on Jay Anson's horror novel, Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George play George and Kathy Lutz who cannot believe their luck when they find a beautiful new house, in the small town of Amityville, N.Y., at an affordable price. After they move in with their kids, they find out the cheap price tag comes with the house's sordid history – the former tenant murdered his family after supposedly being possessed by the devil. Believing the home is haunted, the couple find a priest (Philip Baker Hall) to help them rid the place of evil spirits.
This is the movie that started it all. The Conjuring is based on one of the most disturbing cases of true-to-life paranormal investigators and demonologists Lorraine and Ed Warren from the '70s. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson play the famed ghost hunters, who are summoned to the home of Carolyn (Lili Taylor) and Roger (Ron Livingston) Perron. The Perrons and their five daughters have recently moved into a secluded farmhouse, where a dark supernatural presence has made itself known. The manifestations are benign at first, the haunting events soon escalate, especially after the house's macabre history is revealed.
Soon after moving into a suburban tract home, Katie (Katie Featherston) and Micah (Micah Sloat) become increasingly disturbed by what appears to be a supernatural presence. Hoping to capture evidence of it on film, they set up video cameras in the house but are not prepared for the terrifying events that follow. This is the movie that kicked off the extremely successful horror movie franchise.
Nine graduating students head out to a classmate's summer home on island to shoot their final project – a horror short film. When they get to the island, they get a cold welcome from Mang Pedring, the house's caretaker. The group's world turns upside down when one night, they decide to play Bloody Crayons, a take on "truth or dare," but with a twist. When strange deaths started happening, the classmates have to come together to find the killer. The movie is based on the book by Wattpad writer Josh Argonza.
Chito Roño directs this now-classic Pinoy horror film starring Kris Aquino in one of her finer roles. Picking up from the age old belief in Feng Shui, Kris plays Joy Ramirez, whose troubles begin when she receives a cursed Bagua mirror. Suddenly, people start getting killed around her – in mysterious circumstances that mimic their Chinese Zodiac signs.
Based on Charlaine Harris' book series by the same name, the series follows the lives of the strange inhabitants of Midnight, Texas. The small town in the middle of nowhere has become a haven for vampires, witches, psychics, hit men, and others with extraordinary backgrounds. Though they are viewed as outcasts everywhere else, the supernatural town members form a strong and unlikely family as they work together to use their powers to survive.
Binge-watch season 1 now, and catch new episodes from Season 2 every Saturday, only on iflix.
In this 2014 thriller from The Conjuring universe, John Form (Ward Horton) thinks he's found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia (Annabelle Wallis) – a vintage doll in a beautiful white dress. Then tragedy strikes. On the fateful night, cult worshippers invade their home and launch a violent attack against the couple. When the cultists try to summon an evil spirit, they turning the former object of beauty into a conduit for ultimate evil.
In this 2005 comedy, Vhong Navarro plays Hesus Resurreccion, the scion of the Resurreccion family who now owns their supposedly haunted ancestral mansion. Many believe that the mansion is a portal to the afterlife, and every 25 years, it must be opened by a member of the family, dubbed as "The One", to enable stranded ghosts to cross over to the afterlife. With the portal having been closed in the past 100 years, ghosts have overcrowded the now-abandoned mansion. Now Hesus, who is deathly afraid of ghosts, has no choice but to fulfill his mission as The One.

Facing the Future | The Ethics of Genetically Modified Persons
Marilyn E. Coors, Ph.D. | October 20, 2019
Question: What is Crispr gene editing and what is the Church's stance on this? Are we looking at a future where we could change who we are at the genetic level ie our gender, our intelligence, any developmental disabilities or genetic predispositions we may have? What does this mean for developing children in the womb? Does a parent have the authority to change the genetic makeup of their child before the child reaches adulthood? If we are made body and soul in the image and likeness of God, and therefore the human person has dignity? Can we alter the image so much that we lose the likeness? How does the Church determine where to draw the line?
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a revolutionary new genome engineering technique that can target and cut a specific DNA sequence. The process then utilizes the cut to edit DNA, insert new DNA, or knock out a gene completely. Essentially, this technique has the ability to rewrite the human genome at will because it is relatively simple, efficient, and cost effective. For these reasons, it will have incredibly powerful applications for healthcare, the environment, and agriculture. CRISPR is already used to modify insects, animals, plants, microorganisms, produce human therapies, and, most controversially, alter human embryos. It is readily apparent that there are promises and perils involved with genome editing.
The promise of CRISPR includes many potential therapeutic applications such as cancer, Down Syndrome, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, macular degeneration, AIDS, and so many more. CRISPR allows researchers to specifically and easily correct a mutation in DNA to remedy a serious medical defect. Therapeutic applications to treat or cure an individual person's disease are permissible and desirable according to Church teaching. Dignitas Personae, a 2008 instruction from Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith states "Procedures used on somatic cells for strictly therapeutic purposes are in principle morally licit it is necessary to establish beforehand that the person being treated will not be exposed to risks to his health or physical integrity which are excessive." (n. 26)
There are ethical challenges created by therapeutic applications of CRISPR. Safety is an extremely important consideration. In order to safely realize the benefits CRISPR promises, scientists need to precisely control the sites on the genome at which changes occur. Although the state of the technology is improving rapidly, there are concerns with site specificity and a potential for unwanted genetic modifications called off target effects. If genetic changes take place at unintended yet similar DNA sequences, CRISPR could cause harmful side effects.
CRISPR is also used to modify early embryos, eggs, or sperm (the germline). The ability to rewrite the human germline raises significant moral concerns for Catholics. Modification of the germline usually entails in vitro fertilization (IVF), which Church teaching holds to be illicit. IVF is illicit because the procedure replaces the marital act, and conception occurs in a laboratory by technicians rather than in the loving embrace of husband and wife. In addition, IVF often entails the destruction of embryos.
There are additional moral concerns swirling around modifying the human germline that are held by Catholics and many, many others as well. The risks of modifying the germline are unpredictable and could entail unforeseen or uncontrollable side effects, known as off target mutations. It is important to note that germline gene changes are carried in all cells, cannot be reversed, and will be transmitted to future generations whether harmful or beneficial.
In addition, CRISPR germline gene modification can potentially be used to engineer human behavior or traits or produce designer embryos. This type of modification crosses the line from restoring health to enhancing human characteristics or even creating a new type of human being that doesn't exist in nature. Dignitas Personae addresses this very important distinction directly: "such interventions would promote a eugenic mentality and would introduce an indirect social stigma with regard to people who lack certain qualities, while privileging qualities that happen to be appreciated by a certain culture or society…Finally it must also be noted that in the attempt to create a new type of human being one can recognize an ideological element in which man tries to take the place of his Creator (n. 27).
Let's address some practical moral questions alluded to in Dignitas Personae. Is it moral to alter an unborn child's genome to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease? Dignitas Personae tells us it is usually moral and desirable to alter the cells of a particular person to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's, if it is safe. In contrast, the alteration of an unborn person to avoid Alzheimer's usually requires IVF techniques, which are illicit as discussed above. Also, the potential harm of unintended genomic changes escalate in a developing embryo. For these reasons, altering the unborn is immoral according to Church teaching even though there is likely net benefit if the disease is eliminated.
What about the morality of enhancing intelligence or improving athleticism in the unborn beyond what is currently considered outstanding? Some individuals pursue the best higher education or engage in intense strength training for themselves and/or for their children. In both instances, those resulting enhancements are reversible and have the consent of the person involved. Improving intelligence or strength in the unborn is dramatically more problematic, because it likely involves IVF and entails other serious problems. The appeal of given enhancements will fluctuate over time with the current cultures and fads, yet, germline changes are hard wired in an individual and will be passed down to his/her descendants. Obviously, there is no consent from the altered individual(s), and the potential harms of mistakes are unknown and could outweigh the benefits.
Moreover, the issues of accessibility and cost are additional moral concerns related to CRISPR. Therapies that result from CRISPR will likely be expensive, particularly patient-specific treatments like customized genome editing. It will be especially difficult for patients of average means or those who are uninsured to realize the benefits. If the promises of CRISPR materialize, so will the demand, and it will be necessary to justly address access issues.

Let's face it: vampires are hot right now. There's Twilight, Vampire Dairies, True Blood, and now Late Night with Jimmy Fallon's Suckers. In Fallon's new spoof, a new writer joins the Late Night staff and learns Jimmy Fallon and some of the others are hiding a very dark secret: they're vampires. To create the cast's subtle undead look for the spoof, makeup artist Cyndie Boehm turned to TEMPTU PRO.
"We went back and forth a LOT about what the look will be, particularly Jimmy's. Since it was a parody of so many different shows, I didn't want to copy a look from just one particular show. So, in the end, I came up with my own. The writer wanted them to look slightly undead, a bit "something about them is off but I'm not sure what".
The first episode of Suckers aired on November 8th at the beginning of Late Night. Click the thumbnail below to watch the clip.

Mas dessa vez o gostinho de participar de um "gala event" foi multiplicado !! Não só porque se tratava de um evento da Brazil Foundation, instituição seríssima criada há 15 anos com o objetivo de arrecadar recursos para o financiamento de projetos sociais no Brasil, mas também porque esse ano o homenageado foi meu Rio de Janeiro!!! Com a proximidade das Olimpíadas de 2016 e dos 450 anos da cidade, a fundação resolveu atrair a atenção da comunidade internacional para os projetos sociais que ajudam a melhorar a qualidade de vida de milhares de cariocas e destacar o trabalho árduo de quem contribuiu e continua contribuindo para o crescimento e desenvolvimento da cidade.
Com o lançamento da campanha "All for Rio", o XIII Brazil Foundation Gala NY foi invadido pelo som do Dream Team do Passinho, fenômeno do funk carioca e pela carioquíssima Garota sangue bom, Fernanda Abreu! Para completar a festa, os apresentadores, "irritantemente lindos" Fernanda Lima e Pedro Andrade foram os mestres de cerimônia do evento, que reuniu cerca de 500 pessoas decididas a fazer a diferença na vida de um carioca.
E o mais bacana disso tudo (para mim) foi ver que a instituição que trabalhei como voluntária há 12 anos atrás, quando vim morar em NYC pela primeira vez como estudante, se transformou e vem transformando a vida de inúmeros brasileiros desde então. Com mais de 400 projetos sociais apoiados e US$ 35 milhões arrecadados nesses 15 anos, tenho orgulho de ter feito parte da história da Brazil Foundation e do começo desse sonho!!!
But this time the pleasure of participating in a "gala event" was even better!! Not only because it was a Brazil Foundation event, a very serious institution created 15 years ago in order to raise funds to finance social projects in Brazil, but also 'cause this year the honoree was my Rio de Janeiro!!! With the proximity of the 2016 Olympics and the 450th anniversary of the city, the fund decided to draw the attention of the international community to the social projects that help improve the quality of life for thousands in Rio and highlight the hard work of those who contributed and continue to contribute to the growth and development of the city.
With the launch of the campaign "all for Rio," the XIII Brazil Foundation Gala NY was invaded by the sound of Dream Team do Passinho, the carioca funk phenomenon and by the extremely carioca and extremely great Fernanda Abreu! To complete the party, the presenters "annoyingly beautiful" Fernanda Lima and Pedro Andrade were the event ceremony masters, which brought together about 500 people dedicated to making a difference in the life of a Carioca.
And the coolest of all this (for me) was to see that the institution I worked in as a volunteer 12 years ago when I moved to NYC for the first time as a student, has transformed and continues to transform the lives of countless Brazilians ever since. With more than 400 social projects and $35million collected in these 15 years, I am proud to have been part of the history of Brazil Foundation and the beginning of this dream !!!

Scooter MOT Requirements
by Chris Haughey / in Home
The Ministry of Transport test, better known as the MOT test, is an annual examination of any auto vehicle over three years old in the UK that is used on public roads. The examination covers automobile safety, whether the vehicle is roadworthy, and exhaust emissions. Vehicles that pass are issued a certification to declare them safe for use on the public roads until the following year. There are various classes of the MOT test, and scooters and other small moped bikes up to 199cc (cubic centimetres) in engine size are in Class I.
All lights must work correctly, with the headlight working on both main and dip beam, shining directly in front on main beam and shining slightly lower and to the left on dip beam. The indicator and hazard lights must function properly and flash at a steady rate. All lights should be free of chips or cracks, and scooters, like all bikes, must have a red reflector bolted onto the rear end of the bike.

All lights must work correctly, with the headlight working on both main and dip beam, shining directly in front on main beam and shining slightly lower and to the left on dip beam.
The highest fail rate for scooters during MOTs involves lights, but this is closely followed by steering. There will be thorough checks done to ensure that the handlebars and grips are securely mounted and fastened, and that the steering can be performed fully and freely without any drag or resistance. The handlebars should not touch the fuel tank when fully turned to lock, even when the front wheel is off the ground.
Brakes are an important element of the examination, as bad brakes could lead to a catastrophe on the road. Before putting their bike in for MOT, scooter owners should check that their brakes are safe by inspecting the hoses for any leaks or cracks, and making sure the brake discs are fastened and the pads are not worn down.
Tires often cause problems for many owners during MOTs, but these problems are very easy to avoid. Owners should ensure their tires are not worn down, as they will be examined for thread depth and condition, as well as having the bearings and alignment checked. Spoked wheels will be checked for broken spokes and cast wheels for cracks.

Further Tests
The front and rear suspension of scooters will also be examined, as well as the condition of the exhaust, footrests and mudguards, and even the functioning of the horn. When all the requirements have been met, the vehicle will be declared as safe for the road. Scooters that fail the test will not be allowed on the road until the required changes and improvements have been made.

Paperback Book Details
Robert Keprta
Robert Keprta, author
Having immigrated to the US at age 10 with his parents Frank wanted to visit his Homeland, now the Czech Republic but was not yet a naturalized US citizen. Arriving in the Czech Republic his passport was lifted and he was declared a Czech Citizen and by judicial fiat placed in the Czech Army. He deserted, made his way to Hamburg, stowed away on a ship to America, detained at Ellis Island and to be sent back to Europe to be shot as a deserter. He managed to get a message back to his wife in Texas, who with their 2 year old daughter (my mother by the way) and they went to 'New York and with the aid of the State Department secured Frank's release form detention on Ellis Island. It was only through a series of miraculous events that Frank was able to return to his home in Texas.
Robert Keprta (Superlative Selling) tells an engaging historical tale of freedom, danger, and the complexities of birthright and citizenship in this compact, compelling narrative. Frank, who emigrated from the Austria-Hungary Empire at the age of ten, decides to visit his birthplace as an adult in the early twentieth century. Upon his return, he is captured and forcibly enlisted in the army. Drawing strength from his steady faith in God, he is eventually able to escape and undertakes a long, perilous journey back to the United States–this time as a stowaway with no passport. Without papers, he is imprisoned at Ellis Island until his wife, Bosinia, can come and verify his identity, finally allowing him back to rebuild his life in the U.S.
This story, drawn from actual incidents, is fast paced and exciting, although at times the text is bogged down by minor errors and long chapters without breaks. Frank's faith is a clear support to him throughout his dangerous experience, and Keprta skillfully illustrates that the homeland of the novel's title is not Frank's new life in Texas, or the old country in Europe–rather, it is eternity in heaven. Some readers may wish for a map to detail Frank's travels, or personal photographs to make the story more intimate, as this mixture of memoir and fiction straddles more than one genre.
Despite the story being a quick read, it never lacks for excitement. The sections dealing with the experience of Frank's wife are gripping, and the narration of Frank's time in Europe is well-detailed and visceral. Readers will sympathize with Frank's desire to see his birth home, even as they recognize the inevitable danger awaiting him. Once he is forcibly conscripted, readers will cheer for him to escape and be relieved when Frank and Bosinia are safely reunited at last.
Takeaway: An exciting historical story of danger, triumph, and migration, based in the Christian faith.
Great for fans of: Airey Neave's They Have Their Exits, Jonathan F. Vance's The True Story of the Great Escape.

Christmas in a T-shirt: Martinique
Cathedrale de Saint-Louis, Fort de France, Martinique
Cruises are a good way to explore the world superficially. A few hours on dry land is only long enough to sniff the atmosphere.
When my friend Jenny and I took a Caribbean cruise in 2011 my priority at our first port of call, Fort de France on the French island of Martinique, was to buy a pair of jeans, having omitted to pack any informal trousers.
My French is limited. I now know that you should ask for le jean. Les jeans is apparently permissible, but you may get more than you bargained for.
Once that mission was accomplished Jenny and I wandered around Fort de France and drank mojito at Le Foyaal (now apparently closed): https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g147328-d1567683-Reviews-Le_Foyaal-Fort_de_France_Arrondissement_of_Fort_de_France_Martinique.html.
I intended to follow the cruise spirit and simply idle away my days in tropical luxury, but my history antennae twitched when we passed the Cathedrale de Saint-Louis (1895), which looked for all the world like a British Commissioners' Church but in Roman-Byzantine style, tricked out in tan and brown decoration with a tower and spire 186 feet high.
The building was being renovated, so we couldn't go inside. I simply photographed the exterior and looked it up later.
In fact, it's an interesting and significant building, the seventh on the site since 1657. The sixth church was destroyed in the great fire of Fort de France on June 22nd 1890, and a temporary repair-job was swept away by a cyclone the following year.
After this latest in a succession of natural disasters, the Archdiocese resolved to build an iron-framed structure that would resist hurricanes, storms and earthquakes.
The design of St Louis' Cathedral is by Pierre-Henri Picq (1833-1911), who had worked alongside the ubiquitous Gustav Eiffel (1832-1923) in France. Picq built the Palais du Chili [Chile Pavilion] for the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle for which Eiffel's great tower was the landmark.
Both men used their knowledge of iron construction to construct public buildings abroad. Eiffel, for instance, is responsible for the General Post Office (1886-1891) in Saigon, Vietnam.
Judging by photographs, the interior of Picq's St Louis' Cathedral [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Cathedral,_Fort-de-France#/media/File:Cath%C3%A9drale_de_Fort_de_France_-_Int%C3%A9rieur.jpg], is glorious – light, colourful and unmistakably iron rather than masonry.
Despite its iron construction, an earthquake in 1953 destabilised the tower so that the spire had to be dismantled. A replacement spire was installed in a restoration programme of 1976-9.
Since the cathedral was designated a historic monument in 1990, successive restoration programmes have taken place.
Picq also designed the Bibliothèque Schœlcher [Schœlcher Library] (1893), commemorating Victor Schœlcher (1804-1893), the French abolitionist writer and Martinique politician. The Library is recognisably by the same hand, in an eclectic Byzantine style, making use of an iron frame, glass, tiles and mosaic.
Another of Picq's buildings in Fort de France is the Magasin du Printemps (1901).
You don't see much of a place when you arrive on a cruise ship. The way to know anywhere is to stay there, and in most places there are interesting buildings to look out for.
If I ever find my way back to Martinique, I now know what else there is to see.

Bronte Cinema
Bronte Cinema, Haworth, West Yorkshire: proscenium
I came across the Bronte Cinema, Haworth, by accident on my way down the hill to the steam-railway station last summer. It stands on the side of the Worth Valley that doesn't celebrate the Brontë sisters and so doesn't attract visitors.
A helpful local contact put me in touch with the owner, Mr Robert Snowden, who welcomed me and allowed me to photograph the remarkably intact interior.
There is very little information online about the building, and what little there is turns out to be inaccurate.
The exterior has a curved balustrade decorated with stone balls, built in the dour local stone. The corner to the north of the entrance was a shop, for many years selling sweets, later Miss Betty Dawson's hairdresser's and then Mr Pickles' shoe-repairer's.
Because the site is steeply graded the proscenium is at the front of the building, and the operating box is located beneath the balcony. Inside, the balcony and proscenium remain intact.
Eddie Kelly, an assiduous local historian, generously provided me with material from his research, and another historian, Steven Wood, pointed out that the original plans are preserved at Keighley Local Studies Library.
The Bronte Cinema opened on April 21st 1923 with a concert by the Bocking Male Voice Choir and the Haworth Public Prize Band in aid of local hospitals.
Neither the Bronte nor the rival Hippodrome cinema bothered much with press advertising so information about film performance is patchy, but the Bronte's opening-week advertisement for Mr Wu with Matheson Lang (1919) describes the place as "the cinema of distinction – the finest appointed cinema in the West Riding".
From the outset the Bronte served as a cultural centre for the town: two hundred people were turned away from a concert by the amateur LEO Orchestra & Society because the 778-seat auditorium was full half an hour before the start-time. For years it was the venue for six-day productions by the Haworth Operatic Society.
In later years the Bronte provided three different films each week, Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday-Thursday and Friday-Saturday. My friend Marjorie remembers as a teenager clutching her mates' hands on the balcony during a particularly horrific horror film, sometime towards the end of the War.
There's no record of when the Bronte converted to sound movies, and the cinema historian Ken Roe has found no evidence that it was ever adapted to show wide-screen films.
It closed on July 28th 1956, with Danny Kaye's On the Riviera, apparently because of competition from television and also "the bad condition of Victoria Road".
In November 1957 the building and contents were put up for auction, but the building was withdrawn when the highest offer was £1,000.
Mr Snowden told me he bought it in 1961 for £3,000 and ever since has operated his non-ferrous scrap business there.
He has now wound down his business in preparation for his imminent retirement and the building is up for sale.
Mr Snowden is adamant that he doesn't want to see it demolished: he says it's a substantial, weather-tight structure that has needed very little maintenance over the past fifty-odd years.
The most radical alteration has been the removal of the entrance steps to create vehicle access to the raked floor of the stalls.
Schemes to convert the Bronte Cinema to residential use date back to 1993, but Mr Snowden says he'd prefer to see it put to some kind of heritage purpose. Understandably, he needs to find the best possible price for his asset.
It's one of the unlisted, largely unaltered historic buildings that could easily disappear, yet the elaborate plasterwork and woodwork of the 1923 design survive beneath a patina of thirty years of nicotine and over fifty years of industrial dust.
While Friends groups work to revive such places as the Derby Hippodrome Theatre, where an unkind previous owner removed much of the roof, and the Doncaster Grand Theatre, where the owner and the borough council are alike unsympathetic to restoration efforts, a delightful but unkempt building like the Bronte Cinema deserves the chance of a future.

Kelham Island
Kelham Island Industrial Museum, Sheffield: Bessemer Converter
Kelham Island Industrial Museum, Sheffield: River Don Engine
On its course towards Lady's Bridge in the centre of Sheffield, the River Don splits: water is taken from the natural course and sent down a mill race, originally built for the town's medieval corn mill, creating an artificial island that was later named after the town armourer, Kellam Homer, who worked here just before the Civil War.
It has always been an intensively industrial spot, its furnaces, forges and workshops initially powered by water, later by steam.
When Sheffield's tramways were first electrified in 1899, the Corporation power station was located at Kelham Island, and its buildings now form the Kelham Island Industrial Museum, opened in 1972, telling the story of Sheffield's industries through displays and exhibits, supplementing the historic sites at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet and Shepherd Wheel.
The displays highlight the continuing variety of Sheffield manufactures, from cutlery to liquorice allsorts, exhibiting the fast-disappearing skills of the "little mesters", and providing a home for England's largest surviving Bessemer Converter, a working Crossley Gas Engine and the mighty 400-ton, 12,000hp River Don Engine, built by the Sheffield firm of Davy Brothers to roll armour-plate up to fifteen inches thick.
It's also the home of the Ken Hawley Collection, the result of a lifetime's assiduous acquisition of tools, archives and moving-image records that saved for posterity the vanishing crafts of the "little mesters" and the larger engineering firms that have disappeared since the Second World War. Ken Hawley MBE (1927-2014) accumulated irreplaceable artefacts through his business connections in the tool trade, and by enlisting historians and engineering enthusiasts over six decades.
Kelham Island is now famous for its beer. The Fat Cat public house, with its Kelham Island Brewery, is within sight of the museum, and around the corner is the Kelham Island Tavern, a similarly celebrated home of real ale.
The Kelham Island Industrial Museum is a destination in the itinerary of the Sheffield's Heritage (October 2nd-6th 2017) tour. For details, please click here.

Motor City Casino would be one of over 20 land-based casinos in the state which could apply for an online gambling license.
The Michigan state legislature passed Rep. Brandt Iden's House Bill 4926 in the last hours of the legislative session this week, sending it to the desk of departing Gov. Rick Snyder. HB4926 would legalize online poker and casino gaming if Snyder signs it into law.
The Michigan Senate passed the bill just before midnight on December 21. The Michigan House passed the same legislation at about 3am on December 22.
If Iden's bill is signed into law, then land-based casinos in Michigan would receive the right to launch online casinos and cardrooms. The licensing and rollout process likely would take place over the course of 2019, with operators and suppliers applying for licensing in a two-step process.
Throughout 2019, various tribal and commercial casinos in the state presumably would sign deals with 888, GVC Holdings, PokerStars, and other top operators — much like the process that's taken place in Pennsylvania this past year.
HB 4926 Legalizes Sports Betting?
Brandt Iden's bill's sports betting passage is notable, because the legislature has not legalized sportsbooks yet. It is uncertain is a companion bill that specifically legalizes sports betting will be needed to approve single-game sports bets.
The bill raises eyebrows, because it seems to flout accepted federal law against online sports betting. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006 banned online and mobile sports betting, because it banned any form of gambling (for the Internet) which was banned under the 1961 Wire Act for interstate telephone lines.
Sports betting over the phone lines was specifically banned in the Wire Act, so UIGEA bans interstate online sports betting. The key term from the Wire Act is "interstate", though. For federal authorities to claim jurisdiction over illegal sports gambling, the act had to specify activity which crosses state lines.
If the activity takes place in one state, then federal authorities are not supposed to have jurisdiction. On many issues down through the years, state officials have battled federal authorities over equal sovereignty and states' rights.
That means Michigan could legalize intrastate sports betting on desktop and mobile devices, so long as the activity was done by people in Michigan and geolocation technology assured those players are not in nearby states. It is the same kind of law which allows gamblers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to gamble on live in-play sports betting apps.
Bettors in the state can expect to see Michigan lawmakers introduce a sports betting companion to House Bill 4926, so lawmakers can clarify laws and regulations. For one, Michigan lawmakers need to specify which regulatory agency would oversee sports betting.
It is easy to overlook the certain provisions of House Bill 4926: legalization of online casinos and poker sites. State Rep. Brandt Iden has pushed the bill since 2016 with little sign of success in the two previous years. Some observers speculated that the inclusion of sports betting changed the equation from a legislative standpoint, leading to wider acceptance for online gambling.
Whatever the case, proponents of online gambling can celebrate a 5th US state joining the industry. With forces in Washington DC preparing to change the 2011 DOJ opinion on the UIGEA, it is good timing to have another state's congressional delegation as potential allies to block federal authorities who want to ban the online gambling industry in the United States.

We are a dedicated gluten-free and dairy-free bakery, and most of our products are egg-free as well. We strive to provide our customers with the best tasting and highest quality products possible. Our goal is to make products that are not just "good for gluten-free" but just plain good.
We use primarily whole grain brown rice flour in place of wheat. Since rice has no gluten, we use a variety of other ingredients to replace and replicate it: potato starch, tapioca starch, corn starch, sweet rice flour, xanthan gum and others. We also use assorted other grains for flavoring, including millet, sorghum and teff.
While we try to limit our use of known allergens, we are not an allergen-free facility, and we don't guarantee against cross-contamination.
We use corn starch in some products, and there is some form of corn used as a sub-ingredient in most of our ingredients. Whenever possible, we use ingredients made with non-GMO corn.
EVERYTHING AVAILABLE IN THIS ONLINE STORE IS EGG-FREE. We do still use eggs in the bakery, mostly in desserts, but we are moving towards removal of all eggs in our products All of our bread products are now egg-free, and most of the desserts as well. The eggs we do use are from cage-free chickens.
We are working towards being completely non-GMO. Most of our major ingredients are non-GMO by nature, and for many more we are switching to non-GMO versions. However, there are a few ingredients that are difficult to source or prohibitively expensive in non-GMO form, so we don't claim to be completely non-GMO. But we're almost there.
We do not allow peanuts into the bakery, but we do use almond flour in a few of our products. We also use pecans, walnuts and cashews in specific products. Please check the ingredient lists for these items. We also use coconuts in some products.
Xanthan gum is a natural ingredient that is a byproduct of a biological process which typically uses corn as a base. But there is no corn in xanthan gum. All of our products contain xanthan gum.
Yeast is required to make a dough that rises; all of our bread products use yeast, but the sweets and desserts do not.

Mercer-Williams House
3 Stop 3 $
For those who enjoy history and exquisite architecture, the Mercer-Williams House is a must see. After a century of prominent residents, the house was purchased by famed Savannah preservationist Jim Williams. Williams spent two years restoring the Mercer House and today guests can take tours to experience its sophisticated charm. Furniture and art from William's private collection are on display including 18th and 19th century portraits, drawings and a collection of Chinese porcelain.
The Mercer-Williams House Museum is an opulent Italianate Villa-style mansion located in Monterey Square. Originally constructed for General Hugh Mercer, great-grandfather of the famed lyricist Johnny Mercer, the home was purchased in 1969 by Jim Williams who painstakingly restored the elegant mansion. The residence became world famous as the scene of the murder described in the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The home is currently owned by Williams' sister and is open for public tours. Tastefully decorated with ornate 18th- and 19th-century antique furnishings, the museum collection also includes Chinese porcelain as well as English and American paintings dating from the 1700s.
The House's History
Construction of the redbrick home designed by famed New York architect John Norris began in 1860, but the project was delayed because of the Civil War. Union soldiers used materials from the construction site to build shelters in Monterey Square during their occupation of Savannah. After the war, General Mercer sold the home to John Wilder who completed the construction in 1869. The mansion features an intricate ironwork balcony and tall, arched windows. The home later served as the Savannah Shriners Alee Temple. Noted for his pioneering restoration and preservation work, Williams purchased the house after it had languished for more than a decade. The renovation project took two years.
Williams was accused of shooting his assistant Danny Hansford inside the home in 1981. He was finally acquitted eight years later after four trials. In addition to the death recounted in the 1994 best-seller by John Berendt, the home was the scene of two other earlier tragedies. In 1913, a previous owner fell over a banister on the second floor suffering a broken hip and a concussion. He died three days later. Also, a young boy fell from the roof while following pigeons in 1969. He was impaled on the wrought iron fence below.
The first floor of the Mercer-Williams House Museum is open daily for public tours. The hours are Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. On Sunday, the tours are given from noon until 4 p.m. Please note, the home is not fully accessible for those with physical disabilities. The Carriage House Shop is located next door.
Getting to the Museum
On-street parking is available near the museum. For those aboard the Old Town Trolley, hop off at Stop #3 for Madison Square.
Monterey Square
Named for the Battle of Monterey during the Mexican-American War, Monterey Square was laid out in 1847. The park's centerpiece is an 1853 monument honoring Revolutionary War hero General Casimir Pulaski designed by Robert Launitz. Topped by a statue of Lady Liberty, the 55-foot-tall monument is made from Italian marble. It features a bronze bas-relief of a mounted Pulaski at the moment of his death as he rallied his cavalry forces during the Siege of Savannah.
Forsyth Park
The 30-acre Forsyth Park was created in the 1840s. It contains a variety of monuments and memorials as well as a large fountain similar to the one adorning the Place de la Concorde in Paris. The park also features a children's play area, walking paths and fragrant gardens. Forsyth Park hosts a weekly farmers market as well as outdoor movies and concerts.
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
Construction of the French Gothic-style Cathedral of St. John the Baptist began in 1873. The house of worship was completed 23 years later. The oldest Catholic church in Georgia, it was designed by Baldwin and Price. The building features bronze-colored iron columns, double-barrel vault arches and stained glass windows imported from Tyrol, Austria.
Andrew Low House
Also designed by John Norris, the Andrew Low House was built in 1849. The Italian Villa-style home features Grecian architectural details, a stunning ironwork balcony and a shuttered piazza overlooking a brick-walled garden. Boasting intricately carved woodwork and plaster cornices, the edifice was once the residence of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA.

A chic night at Taylor Fashion Show
Strutting to a full crowd in the Chapel on Thursday night, students and staff modelled popular brands down the catwalk to raise money for Sweet Louise, a charity that supports those suffering from secondary breast cancer.
The student-led event raised a whopping $6,031. Well done to Mary Weatherall (Year 13, Taylor) and the Taylor committee who have worked very hard to make the night possible.
Mary Weatherall reports on a great night:
"The Taylor House Fashion Show was a great success. The night began with a packed dining hall full of hustle and bustle. Special mention to Hannah Jensen and her team who raised an astounding amount via their selling of five various raffles at the pre-drinks. The fashion show itself followed- beginning with Philippa Reed; the CEO of Sweet Louise offering some insight into the work Sweet Louise does. It is truly such an amazing charity, offering support to those who need it most.
The showcase of clothing was an exhilarating experience for all involved. The exuberant crowd helped set the tone for the models who all walked with such poise and grace. The gravitas of the chapel was on full-display with the help of Glen Howell and his crafty lighting fixtures. I am so appreciative of all nine brands who lent us their clothing; without their generosity the night would not have been possible. Also, a massive thank you to the members of the King's community who supported the event whether in attendance, or the purchasing of raffles.
Finally, thank you to all the girls' of the Taylor Committee and Taylor Staff; I could not have done it without your dedication and support. The show in its entirety was a team effort, and it truly goes to show the strength of team-work. Overall we raised $6,031. Myself, and the Taylor committee are so pleased with this end result and want to thank all those involved."

By holding Saudi Arabia responsible for the journalist's death and questioning the crown prince's liability, the UN has made it increasingly hard for the kingdom to do business.
The UN Human Rights Council in its report on the Jamal Khashoggi murder and it squarely and definitively points the finger at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"Mr Khashoggi's killing constituted an extrajudicial killing for which the State of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is responsible," say the opening lines of the damning report, which is likely to compound Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's (MBS) isolation on the world stage.
UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard went on to say: "[There] is credible evidence warranting further investigation of high-level Saudi Officials' individual liability, including the Crown Prince's."
It is this last sentence that will most worry the young prince, who is next in line to become the King of Saudi Arabia with his ailing father King Salman's health reportedly on the decline.
The UN report has confirmed what the Turkish government and much of the international community has long been saying; however, the long term impact on MBS's reputation is mounting.
Dr Andreas Krieg, an Assistant Professor at King's College London and Middle East security expert, told TRT World: "Most analysts and policymakers are making a distinction though between MBS and the Saudi kingdom, which for now can be easily done as he is 'only' the Crown Prince."
"Once he becomes king, it will be increasingly difficult for Saudi Arabia to manoeuvre diplomatically as foreign dignitaries do not want to be seen shaking hands with someone like MBS," added Krieg.
The media-conscious crown prince has attempted to cultivate an image of a young and progressive leader, a break from Saudi Arabia's more traditional and conservative society. He has been deliberate in giving media outlets in the West exclusive behind the scenes access or taking full page ads in business newspapers all in a bid to burnish his credentials.
I don't know about you but these ads have totally convinced me that maybe the Saudi Prince isn't such a bad egg after all. pic.twitter.com/TRaXF7W9bD
— Connal Hughes (@connal99) March 7, 2018
The murder, dismemberment and disposal of Khashoggi's body in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul have raised serious questions around the prince's so-called progressive leadership.
Early indications of the crown prince's ruthlessness came in November 2017, when more than thirty senior Saudi figures and businessmen were arrested in the middle of the night and brought to the Ritz Carlton in what was termed as ''anti-corruption'' drive.
The shakedown netted MBS an estimated more than $100 billion. The move was at the time seen as a new approach in dealing with Saudi Arabia's entrenched problems but increasingly it turned out to be more of a show of strength and capture of wealth and power.
The Khashoggi murder now threatens to hang around the neck of the prince for the rest of his life and if he becomes the king, his reign and that of the Saudi state.
"His damaged reputation will thereby increasingly affect the reputation of the kingdom in the world," explained Krieg.
Dr Talha Kose, Associate Professor of Political Science at Ibn Khaldun University, said to TRT World that while the UN report is not binding, "it creates a framework for discussion, making it more difficult for international actors to engage with MBS...it is a morally important report".
Dealing with the actions of MBS is particularly tricky for Western policymakers who need Saudi Arabia to continue buying weapons and view it as an indispensable strategic regional actor.
"While relationships with a King MBS will not be warm, they will continue to maintain interests-driven foreign policies," said Krieg.
As the crown prince seeks to renew Saudi Arabia through his Vision2030, there are signs after the murder of Khashoggi that the international business community, whose expertise the kingdom so desperately needs, is wary about how the prince will build this new Saudi Arabia given his ruthless streak.
"Saudi Arabia needs to appeal to global public opinion to attract investors, tourists and other private sector members. The Khashoggi case adds MBS to the ranks of Saddam, Gaddafi and Kim Jong Un," added Krieg.
Ultimately an ailing King Salman thinking about his legacy may at some point need to balance his son's accession to the throne and the need for the Saudi state to operate constructively in what is an increasingly volatile region.
"MBS's aggressive policies make Saudi Arabia a less effective regional partner," said Kose. And with the net slowly closing in on MBS it's not hard to guess whether a vengeful and wounded crown prince may become a less or more effective partner in the region.

Edwin Howard Friedman (May 17, 1932 – October 31, 1996) was an ordained rabbi, family therapist, and leadership consultant. He was born in New York City and worked for more than 35 years in the Washington, D.C., area, where he founded the Bethesda Jewish Congregation. His primary areas of work were in family therapy, congregational leadership (both Christian and Jewish), and leadership more generally.

Approach
Friedman's approach was primarily shaped by an understanding of family systems theory. His seminal work Generation to Generation, written for the leaders of religious congregations, focused on leaders developing three main areas of themselves:
 Being self differentiated
 Being non-anxious
 Being present with those one is leading
His contribution to intercultural communication and understanding in family therapy appears in a key essay, "The Myth of the Shiksa" (original 1982, collected 2008), using the concept of "cultural costume and camouflage" to describe the ways that people express their ethnic or cultural identity. This was elaborated in greater detail in the model of cultural family therapy in "Chapter 3: The Presenting Culture"  of A Stranger in the Family by family therapist and transcultural psychiatrist Vincenzo Di Nicola. Echoing cultural anthropologist Clifford Geertz's notion that humans exist through the mediating variable of culture, this model of cultural family therapy uses cultural costume and camouflage as a conceptual tool that Di Nicola calls Masks: "Each family, Friedman observed, draws its cultural camouflage from the available reportoire of their culture."

Self-differentiation
Building on his work, Generation to Generation, Friedman's family and friends published A Failure of Nerve--leadership in the age of the quick fix finishing Friedman's work on his understanding of leaders as "self-differentiated or well-differentiated."

Friedman illustrates good "self-differentiated" leadership to that present in the great Renaissance explorers, where leaders had:
 the capacity to separate oneself from surrounding emotional processes
 the capacity to obtain clarity about one's principles and vision
 the willingness to be exposed and be vulnerable
 the persistence to face inertial resistance
 the self-regulation of emotions in the face of reactive sabotage.

Two concepts are critical in Friedman's model: self-knowledge and self-control. Friedman attacks what he calls the failure of nerve in leaders who are "highly anxious risk-avoiders," more concerned with good feelings than with progress–one whose life revolves around the axis of consensus. By self-differentiation, the leader maintains his/her integrity (a non-anxious self as opposed to an anxious non-self) and thus promotes "the integrity or prevents the dis-integration of the system he or she is leading."

In other places, Friedman argues that the well-differentiated leader:
