Review: The Slang – Desperate Times EP
October 11, 2018 by Jamie Parmenter
The Slang return with new EP Desperate Times, and with it bring a taste of Nashville sporadically littered throughout the tracks against an indie-rock backdrop.
One of the things the Slang have prided themselves on is recording in different cities and studios, so each time they release new music they try to capture the vibe and feel of each city. New EP Desperate Times was recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, and although the overall feel of the record is still indie rock through and through, you still get these little country rock flourishes that are embedded into the veins of the record. This is helped along by Mark Needham on mixing duties, creating an EP that is more varied than previous efforts, and refreshingly doesn't stick to one certain idea.
Back To The Fact is the perfect opener that throws you directly into the indie-rock foray that the band delight in – it's the kind of track the band can play in their sleep as they pluck away at electric guitar with a high speed pace throwing the listener along. Notes of British group Snow Patrol are echoed in singer John Bobo's voice, as he works his way through tales of heartbreak, youth and revolt. It's a strong and catchy start that feels like home.
Breakdown slows things down before a thumping chorus kicks in from nowhere. This song is for a grungy live venue with warm beers in plastic cups and a feeling of anticipation in the air as the band control the crowd, egging them on in a sweaty and cramped atmosphere. Guitar work is strong enough to push the track forward, and the break up three quarters of the way through keeps things interesting, giving you a chance to catch your breath.
Harm mixes things up with a more acoustic intro, which actually brings the track out of its shell and shows that the band's melodies are strong without the heavy guitar and production. It's nice to hear the bass shine through a bit more, with Bobo's vocals feeling much stronger in the contemplative atmosphere. They're a high-adrenalin indie-rock band there at heart, but some of their strongest work is when they're calming things down a bit and concentrating on melody.
Is It Any is another track that's full of angst and turmoil, and finally we get to see a bit of that Nashville country flair seep through in the music. Guitars cut in and out amidst a backdrop of fuzz either side, as Bobo belts out "Give me one more chance before you walk away". This is one for the adolescent teens to listen to when trying to get through one of those tough breakups that will litter their youth. If Nashville rears its head on Is It Any, it's captured in full body on EP closer Head Start. It's got that Nashville guitar sound and a country beat that's covered over in an indie-fuelled blanket. It's a fantastic way to finish the EP and the strongest track on the record. Gentle keys change the vibe, and a great heavy fuzz solo reminiscent of 90s Weezer set it alight. Backing vocals make a fleeting appearance before everything but guitar and vocals cut out to finish off.
Desperate Times is an EP that flares up at the end where it relies more heavily on the influences of it's studio base in Nashville. The record starts of strongly with the music by numbers sound of The Slang, and as the country influences blend into the music by the end of the record, it feels stronger. It would have been nice to have this at the forefront of the record, but I guess the band wanted to just dabble for now to see what the reaction was – they needn't have worried as it works very well. It'll be interesting to see where they record their next music and how strong the influences will be compared to Desperate Times.
Score: 3.5/5

Deepawali or Diwali is certainly the biggest and the brightest of all Hindu festivals.
Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from his fourteen year long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana.
The origin of Diwali can be traced back to ancient India, when it was probably an important harvest festival.


Presenter Ian Wright travels the south-east coast of Brazil, where exports in sugar cane, gold and coffee once made Rio de Janeiro one of the greatest cities of the colonial era. Nowadays the capital city of Brazil and the carnival capital of the world is most renowned as the home of samba & soccer.
After checking into a cheap hotel, Ian checks out the beach at Copacabana. After a white-knuckle bus ride to the overcrowded half-mile strip of seashore where the locals cariocas hang out, he's quick to find instruction in beach etiquette from two seasoned beach regulars.
From the Centro district of the city Ian takes the only remaining tram in Rio to the wealthy district of Santa Tereza. Since 1971 this area has been called home by notorious ex-train robber Ronnie Biggs. He was sentenced to 30 years for his part in the Great Train Robbery of 1963 but escaped from his British jail and went on the run. He's still a wanted man in Britain but he's enjoying his twilight years in Rio running barbecues for carnival-goers and telling his life story to tourists.
A tourist train takes Ian to the top of Corcovado, the 2,200 foot mountain at the top of which is the massive statue of Christ the Redeemer is the most enduring picture-postcard image of Rio as it towers over the entire city. He then takes in the Taguca National Park, a seventy square-mile tropical rainforest right in the centre of the city. The Peak at Pedra Bonita is a natural wonder, and for the best aerial views of Rio, Ian goes hang-gliding over the city vistas.
The favellas of Rio are well off the usual tourist trail and many visitors don't venture into these shanty towns to find out how a third of the population lives. Ian is shown around this city-within-a-city by tour organiser Marcelo Armstrong.
A short trip across the bay is the Museum of Contemporary Art at Niteroi. It's Rio's most modernist building and architect Oscar Niemeyer based his design on a champagne glass. He doesn't stop to admire the content of the museum, though, as he's on his way to an important game – Btofogo v Flamengo at the Maracana Stadium. It's home to the nation's true passion, football, and emotions run high at this lively local match.
On the 6th day of his stay in Rio, Ian flags down a bus along the coastal highway 101 to Parati. The colonial town used to be renowned for its coffee though nowadays its better known for cachaça. Ian visits a workshop, witnesses its creation and samples the pure alcoholic beverage.
Back in Rio the carnival celebrations are heating up and revellers are preparing for the week of festivities which signify the beginning of Lent. But before he can join the main parade Ian has to learn how to samba. At the Caprichosos de Pilares samba school they've been creating songs and costumes all year round in preparation of the big day, and now rehearsals are at a fever pitch. On the big day of the carnival all the samba schools are in fierce competition. Ian meets up with his samba school at last and, in full costume, takes up his position for the parade. Sixty minutes of solid samba and its all over, an amazing, electric experience that leaves Ian ready to go at it all over again!
It's his last night in Rio and Ian finds out how the other-half celebrate carnival at theCopacabana Palace Ball & the Scala Gay Carnival Ball. He parties till the sun comes up, the perfect way to end his week-long stay in Rio de Janeiro.


£ - Aviation Injury? - Compensation Claim Solicitor?
What are the most common aviation accidents?
How can aviation compensation be used?
With increasing numbers of people now opting to holiday abroad rather than at home, the chances of running into difficulties of some kind are becoming more and more common. This is not least the case because the vast majority of modern foreign travel involves flying which, while being vital to modern life, remains imperfect.
If you are a frequent foreign holidaymaker or if you travel extensively as part of your work, you will no doubt be aware of the ubiquitous problems which can be caused when travelling with an airline. If you are particularly unlucky, you may have suffered some form of personal injury.
While being aware of the possible problems that appear to be part and parcel of modern aviation, you may not necessarily be aware that should you suffer personal injury, you can now make compensation claims against the airline responsible thanks to new rules introduced by the European Union.
Bad landings and turbulence can cause most of these things to happen with the extent of injury depending greatly on the severity of agitation of the aircraft. Of course, crashes remain the worst kind of aviation accident but, thankfully, they remain extremely rare occurrences and, fortunately, you are highly unlikely to ever experience them.
If you are thinking of making an aviation compensation claim, it's a good idea to compile evidence to help your case and help ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible. You can do this by taking photographs of the injured body part in question if you have received an injury.
With conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), physical characteristics and symptoms can take a while to materialise fully and so it may be difficult at first to photograph, but it can be done when symptoms do appear. DVT is most frequently associated with air travel as blood clots develop (commonly in the legs) as a result of sitting for long periods of time without moving. This can be extremely serious and even fatal if a clot reaches the brain.
Taking statements from fellow passengers who will undoubtedly have witnessed your accident will also only serve to strengthen your case further. Taking the personal details of witnesses so that you can get in touch with them in future when you need them to give testimony is a good idea too.
However, if you are awarded a settlement as a result of personal injury, the money can be used to help pay for any expenses you have incurred during recovery.
This includes medical expenses if you have opted to receive private treatment as opposed to using the services of the NHS and travelling expenses if you have had to travel to medical appointments. If your injuries were bad enough, the money could also be used to make adaptations to your home if you have been left with some residual disability.
If you have encountered a problem of any kind while travelling by air, get in touch with Tylers Solicitors today and let us help you out. Our aviation compensation lawyers have the ability to assess your circumstances and help you claim an amount that will adequately compensate you for the inconvenience or injury you have suffered when flying.
If you wish to make a personal injury compensation claim, make sure you don't leave it too long as the deadline currently stands at three years in the UK. Also, ensure that you have as much evidence as possible and we'll do all we can to help you out as your inconvenience or suffering must have been the fault of the airline, and you should ideally be able to prove this.
With our many years' experience and highly professional team of expert aviation solicitors, you can be sure of no better chance of receiving the compensation that is rightfully yours than with Tylers. If you require the services of an aviation solicitor, Tylers Solicitors cannot be beaten in the Greater Manchester area for quality, and because we operate on a "no win, no fee" basis, it won't cost you a single penny if your case cannot proceed. So get in touch with us today to set the ball rolling.
If you have suffered an injury as a result of being involved in an aviation accident that wasn't your fault, then you may be able to make a claim. Call Tylers today (freephone) on 0800 699 0079 to see if you can make a claim for aviation compensation today.

Three Nebraska players knelt Saturday night during the national anthem prior to the Huskers matchup with Northwestern. Those players were freshmen Mohamed Barry, Daishon Neal and Michael Rose-Ivey. Head coach Mike Riley spoke about the players' decision to kneel during his post-game press conference, commenting specifically on Rose-Ivey.
Defensive tackle Kevin Maurice also spoke about Rose-Ivey's decision to kneel.
"I think we received [Rose-Ivey's talk] very well," Maurice said. "We respect Mike, we respect his decision and we respect everything that he did to shine a light on what's going on. He spoke to us and it was a passionate speech.
"He's kind of one of those guys that really feels passionate about the topic and you can see that with the way that he responds on social media and just the way that he talks. That's something that's really important to him and we supported him throughout."

Never Give Up: Freda Casagrande's Story
By Freda Casagrande and Angela Kennedy
From rags to riches to enrichment... Freda Casagrande was living the dream. She'd reached the top of her profession, managing a multi million pound budget for a global corporation, with the luxury lifestyle to match. Opinionated and strong, she power-dressed her way through testosterone-fuelled boardrooms, armoured in designer suits. But her confidence was hard won. She'd clawed her way out of a childhood of poverty and neglect. Now she was reaping the rewards. Yet she still felt as if something was missing. She felt empty. She could buy what she wanted but it wasn't enough. There had to be more to life. In a state of turmoil, she set off on a trekking holiday to try to clear her head. Little did she know this trip to Nepal would dramatically change her life forever. Freda's journey into the magnificent mountainous kingdom of Nepal led her far from her former existence and towards the emotional enrichment that comes from dedicating her life to helping others. Experiencing betrayal, heartbreak, happiness and lots of laughs along the way. This is the story of Freda's continuing quest to change lives in a forgotten corner of the world as her own life transforms from rags to riches to enrichment. Freda's charity, Hicap UK, funds the education of Nepali children, improves living conditions in remote mountain villages and creates sustainable ways for families to earn a living, keeping children and parents together.

[Case Brief] Banyan Tree Holding (P) Ltd. v/s A. Murali Krishna Reddy & Others – Delhi High Court
Case Name Banyan Tree Holding (P) Ltd. v/s A. Murali Krishna Reddy & Others
Case Number CS (OS) No 894 of 2008
Court Delhi High Court
Bench Chief Justice AP Shah, Justice Dr S. Muralidhar
Author of the Judgment Justice Dr S. Muralidhar
Decided On 23 November 2009
Relevant Act/Sections Copyright Act, 1957 – Sections 62(2)
Trademarks Act, 1999 – Sections 9, 20(c), 134(2)
Author of the case brief Praher Vaidya
The Plaintiff is a company having its registered office in Singapore and it is a part of a group of companies involved in the hospitality business. Since 1994, it adopted and used the wordmark Banyan Tree and also the banyan tree device. They also maintain the websites, www.banyantree.com and www.banayantreespa.com since 1996, which are accessible in India. Plaintiff does not hold a registration for the said mark and device in India but on the account of the extensive and continuous use by the Plaintiff of the said mark and device in relation to its business, they have acquired secondary meaning; have become highly distinctive and have come to be associated with the Plaintiff and its sister concerns. In October 2007, the Plaintiff learned that the Defendants, which are at Hyderabad had initiated work on a project under the name "Banyan Tree Retreat". The wordmark and the device adopted by the Defendants in relation to their retreat is deceptively similar to that of the Plaintiff. A suit was filed by the Plaintiff for an injunction to restrain the Defendants from the use of the said mark and device. The learned single judge has noticed that the plaintiff has claimed in the plaint that the Court has the territorial jurisdiction under Section 20 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) to entertain the suit. According to the Plaintiff the Defendants solicit business through the use of the impugned mark "BANYAN TREE RETREAT" and the Banyan device in Delhi. Also, that the Defendants have a presence in Delhi through their website which is accessible in Delhi and because of the ubiquity, universality, and utility of the features of the Internet and the World Wide Web, the cause of action has arisen within the jurisdiction of the Court. The Single Judge made a referral order to the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court for deciding the issues below.
For the purposes of a passing off action, or an infringement action where the Plaintiff is not carrying on business within the jurisdiction of a court, in what circumstances can it be said that the hosting of a universally accessible website by the Defendants lends jurisdiction to such Court where such suit is filed ("the forum court")?
In a passing off or infringement action, where the defendant is sought to be sued on the basis that its website is accessible in the forum state, what is the extent of the burden on the Plaintiff to prima facie establish that the forum court has jurisdiction to entertain the suit?
Is it permissible for the Plaintiff to establish such prima facie case through "trap orders" or "trap transactions"?
The present suit is an action for passing off and not of infringement in which neither the Plaintiff nor any of the Defendants voluntarily resides or carries on business within the local limits of Delhi. Consequently, neither Section 20 (a) nor Section 20(b) of the Civil Procedure Code applies.
Issue 1: Various tests as evolved in other jurisdictions:
Purposeful availment– The defendant must have purposefully directed its activities towards the forum state or otherwise "purposefully availed" of the privilege of conducting activities in the forum state.
Zippo sliding scale test – The "sliding scale" test for determining the level of interactivity of the website, for the purposes of ascertaining jurisdiction of the forum state i.e. (i) passive, (ii) interactive and (iii) integral to the defendants business.
Effects test- The forum court will exercise jurisdiction if it is shown that the effects of the Defendant's website are felt in the forum state.
Targeting- The activity must be intended to have effects within the territory of the state asserting jurisdiction. It is something more than effects, but less than a physical presence.
The essential principles developed as part of the common law can be adopted by our courts in determining whether the forum court has jurisdiction where the alleged breach is related to an activity on the internet.
For the purposes of a passing off action or an action for infringement where the Plaintiff is not carrying on business within the jurisdiction of the forum court, and where there is no long-arm statute, the Plaintiff would have to show that the Defendant purposefully availed itself of the jurisdiction of the forum court. It is not enough, merely to show that the website hosted by the Defendant is an interactive one. It would have to be shown that the nature of the activity indulged in by the Defendant by the use of the website was with an intention to conclude a commercial transaction with the website user.
While the Defendant may in his defense show how he avoided the forum state, the initial burden is on the Plaintiff to show that the Defendant "purposefully availed" itself of the jurisdiction of the forum court. The issue of incorporating filters to block access to the website by viewers located outside the forum state will have to be considered while deciding if the Defendant had "purposefully avoided" the forum state. However, that question will arise only if the Plaintiff has been able to show that the website of the Defendant is interactive and permits commercial transactions to be concluded by the Defendant with a user of the website.
Jurisdiction of the forum court does not get attracted merely on the basis of interactivity of the website which is accessible in the forum state. The degree of the interactivity apart, the nature of the activity permissible and whether it results in a commercial transaction has to be examined. For the effects test to apply, the Plaintiff must necessarily plead and show prima facie that the specific targeting of the forum state by the Defendant resulted in an injury or harm to the Plaintiff within the forum state. For the purposes of a passing off or an infringement action (where the plaintiff is not located within the jurisdiction of the court), the injurious effect on the Plaintiffs business, goodwill or reputation within the forum state as a result of the Defendants website being accessed in the forum state would have to be shown. Naturally, therefore, this would require the presence of the Plaintiff in the forum state and not merely the possibility of such a presence in the future. Secondly, to show that an injurious effect has been felt by the Plaintiff it would have to be shown that viewers in the forum state were specifically targeted. Therefore the effects test would have to be applied in conjunction with the "sliding scale" test to determine if the forum court has jurisdiction to try a suit concerning internet based disputes. [The judgment of the Delhi High Court in Casio India Co. Limited vs Ashita Tele Systems Pvt. Limited is to this effect overruled.]
Issue 2: For the purposes of Section 20 (c) CPC, in order to show that some part of the cause of action has arisen in the forum state by the use of the internet by the Defendant, the Plaintiff will have to show prima facie that the said website was specifically targeted at viewers in the forum state for commercial transactions and produce material to prima facie show that some commercial transaction using the website was entered into by the Defendant with a user of its website within the forum state and that the specific targeting of the forum state by the Defendant resulted in an injury or harm to the Plaintiff within the forum state.
Issue 3: The facts of each case will determine whether the trap transaction is a fair one and has resulted in a purchase on the internet of goods or services. Alone trap transaction will not be sufficient evidence of infringement or passing off. For the purposes of establishing that a part of the cause of action arose within the jurisdiction of the court, the Plaintiff would have to show that the Defendant has purposefully availed of the jurisdiction of the forum court by entering into a commercial transaction with an internet user located within the jurisdiction of the forum court. This cannot possibly be a solitary trap transaction since that would not be an instance of "purposeful availment" by the Defendant. It would have to be a real commercial transaction that the Defendant has with someone not set up by the Plaintiff itself. If the only evidence is in the form of a series of trap transactions, they have to be shown to be obtained using fair means. The Plaintiff seeking to establish jurisdiction on the basis of such trap transactions would have to aver unambiguously in the plaint, and also place along with it supporting material, to prima facie show that the trap transactions relied upon satisfying the above test.

Бјелашница је планина у средишњем делу Босне и Херцеговине, смештена југозападно од града Сарајева. Као и сусједна Јахорина и Бјелашница припада динарском планинском систему.

Положај и грађа
Представља пространу крашку висораван која се дужином од 15 -{km}- пружа у правцу североисток – југозапад, а тако је и нагнута. Северни део висоравни има просечну висину од 1.900 -{m}-. Ту су и највиши врхови Бјелашнице: Бјелашница (локални назив Звјездарница или Звјездара, 2.067 -{m}-), Крвавац (2.062 -{m}-) и Влахиња (2.057 -{m}-). Јужни део висоравни је нешто нижи, просечно 1.200 -{m}-.

Највећи део Бјелашнице грађен је од средњи и горњих тријаских кречњака и доломита. Кречњачко-доломитне масе су испуцале бројним пукотинама, које су предиспонирале јаке крашке процесе, због којих се падавине брзо губе у подземље, па је Бјелашница скоро безводна. За време дилувијалне глацијације на Бјелашници су били глечери (ледници), најјаче резвијени на њеној северној и североисточној страни. И данас има трагова деловања тих глечера. Висораван Бјелашницу пресекле су на истоку и југоистоку кањонска долина Ракитнице, а на југу и југозападу долина горњег тока реке Неретве.

Клима
На највишем делу (2.067 -{m}- надморске висине) подигнута је 1894. метеоролошка станица, која је уједно и највиша стално настањена тачка у Босни и Херцеговини. Средња годишња температура износи само 0,7°C, због изразито ниских зимских температура. Највиша температура достиже 24°C, а најнижа -41°C. Лети је прекривена густом зеленом травом, а зими и до 3 -{m}- високим снегом. Стални снежни прекривач траје од новембра до јуна месеца. Снажни ветрови и громови су климатско обиљежје ове босанске планинске лепотице. Доминантни ветрови су бура и југо.

Флора и фауна
На Бјелашници су до висине од 1.900 -{m}- шуме и ливаде, а изнад њих је травнато подручје са местимично полеглом црногорицом (клековина). Највиши гребени су оголели. На Бјелашници живи вук, медвед, дивља свиња, срна, лисица и друга ретка ривљач.

Насеља
Већа насеља на Бјелашници су: Чуховићи, Умољани, Лукавац и др. Становници се највише баве сточарством и сечом шуме.

Спорт и туризам
У склопу Зимских олимпијских игара у Сарајеву, на Бјелашници су изграђени бројни спортски и туристички објекти, који се и данас користе, тако да је Бјелашница врло атрактивна за зимски и летњи туризам.

14 Celebrities Who Look Nothing Like the Characters They Played on Screen
By Isabel Jones

When Orange Is the New Black dropped its fifth season on Netflix, the social media buzz started to eclipse the actual show's storylines. Hard as we tried, we couldn't resist the pull. We were floored to discover that Daya's younger-self is, in fact, the actress' daughter, and absolutely flabbergasted when photos of the actress who plays "Skinhead Helen" came to the fore.
And, as it turns out, when Francesca Curran isn't portraying white supremacist convicts, she's super gorgeous (hair and all!):
.@francescaraine plays 'Skinhead Helen' on @OITNB looks (and acts) like nothing like her character. WOW! LISTEN LIVE:https://t.co/3DMwnr8Avl pic.twitter.com/1wnQSiggJu

The power of hair and makeup is, to this day, confounding. It's the special ingredient that takes people from day to night, prison to Hollywood, and far beyond. Scroll down below to see the most insane celebrity transformations in film and television.
Tilda Swinton in Trainwreck
Getty; Universal Pictures
If you had any doubts about Tilda's reign as the ultimate master of disguise, her role in Trainwreck likely set you straight. Millions of viewers (myself included) had *zero* clue Swinton was in Amy Schumer's star-studded comedy until the final credits rolled. According to EW, the actress physically modeled her over-the-top magazine editor character after former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld.
Steve Carell in Foxcatcher
Getty; Annapurna Pictures
The Office alum haunted our dreams as erratic multi-millionaire John du Pont in Foxcatcher (2014). Wearing a prosthetic nose and speaking in a gravelly timbre, Carell was virtually unrecognizable in the role. Despite the perceived limitations of his comedic past, the actor pulled it off, even earning himself an Oscar nod in the process.
Charlize Theron in Monster
The blonde beauty underwent a serious transformation when she played real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster (2003)—which, by the way, was directed by Wonder Woman's Patty Jenkins. Prosthetic teeth, impressive makeup, and (above all) an incredible performance, led Theron to take home the Oscar for Best Actress in 2004.
Taryn Manning in Orange Is the New Black
Getty; Netflix
Like most of the cast of Netflix's prison-based drama, Manning (OITNB's Pennsatucky) doesn't share too much in common with her character. Lacking in Hollywood glamor, the role forces the Crossroads actress to adopt the rotting teeth of a former meth addict and strip her face of makeup. IRL, Taryn is known to experiment with hair colors and rock a bold statement lip.
Johnny Depp in Black Mass
Getty; Warner Brothers
A team of hard-working makeup artists transformed the Hollywood heartthrob into a murderous mob boss with no shortage of tools. According to Variety, the process was completed with the use of facial prosthetics and painstakingly made hair pieces (each could be worn no more than once and took a whopping 22 hours to assemble).
Lizzy Caplan in Mean Girls
Getty; Paramount Pictures
It took us a few years to realize that Lizzy Caplan played OG Mean Girl Janice Ian in Tina Fey's cult classic. Decked out with heavy eye makeup and a mop of raven black hair, Janice's aesthetic is nothing like the minimalist actress who played her. Part of our confusion, of course, is because Caplan was so convincing in the role—it's hard to imagine that she lives separate from the authentic high schooler.
Rooney Mara in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Getty; Columbia TriStar
The younger Mara sister made a name for herself with her breakout role as Lisbeth Salander in the American adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. With blunt bangs, tattoos and piercings galore, and a set of platinum-dyed brows, the Audrey Hepburn-esque actress's personal style ended up being the virtual opposite of her iconic character.
Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
It takes a brave actor to agree to age on screen. Pitt went through the process, wrinkles and all, aging in reverse as the film's eponymous character. Honestly, though, even at 80 Pitt still looked pretty damn good.
Tilda Swinton in The Grand Budapest Hotel
She's baaack. Pitt's not the only actor to willingly age on film. Swinton was transformed into a liver-spotted, beehive-wearing woman more than 30 years her senior in Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).
Elizabeth Banks in The Hunger Games
Getty; Lionsgate
Banks did a total 180 as the book series' and film franchise's Effie Trinket. Adorned in over-the-top matching ensembles, flouncy wigs, and a fully powdered face, the actress's transformation left few remaining traces of Banks herself.
Lena Headey in Game of Thrones
Getty; HBO
More so than most of GOT's heavily made up characters, Headey's looks *completely* different off-screen. It's really just the hair color, but look how major a change it makes!
Ralph Fiennes in Harry Potter
Fiennes's turn as the Harry Potter franchise's iconic villain (who shall not be named—jk, his name is Lord Voldemort), involved relatively few hours in hair and makeup. Mark Coulier, the makeup wizard behind the actor's transformation, told Bustle that he conceived Voldemort's harrowing appearance with the aid of body paint, temporary tattoos (dem veins), a digitally altered nose, and fake teeth.
Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder
Cruise's tongue-in-cheek portrayal of the film's Hollywood producer character, Lev Grossman, required the actor to wear prosthetic hands, a bald cap, artificial chest hair, and a fat suit.

Q: In Minecraft why do mobs get stuck in the ground? When I spawn a lot of mobs some of them get shoved into the ground and act like they are in a hole.  Why does this happen?

A: This is a known bug, and is still unresolved in the most recent release (1.7.2). There are a lot of player theories on what "triggers" it (stairs, ladders, trap doors, etc.) but no official consensus on what causes it, and as of right now, no fix for it. Other than manually "digging out" the mob. (https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-119)

İsmail Gaspıralı, geboren als İsmail Gasprinskiy in 1851 en overleden op 11 september 1914, was een ideoloog van het panturkisme.

Hoewel hij een etnische Turk was uit de Krim, klonk zijn naam niet Turks genoeg. Hij paste hem aan tot Gaspirali. Hij was schrijver en journalist. Een van zijn bijdragen aan het panturkisme, was het ontwerpen van een gemeenschappelijke Turkse taal.

Ghost Pirates is a visually engaging pirate-themed slot developed by NetEnt and based on a 243 ways to win system. There are no paylines with specific fixed patterns, and winning combos are formed by at least three matching symbols landed anywhere on adjacent reels starting at the utmost left. The most amazing thing about the gameplay is that you can choose to reduce the number of win ways to 81, 27, 9 and 3. Manipulating this value changes your total bet per spin proportionally. The floor and ceiling bets in the game are $0.01 and $62.5. Fitting the theme perfectly, all the symbols depict pirates and items associated with them. A wild represented by the Skull substitutes for all basic symbols. A scatter (Treasure Chest) pays out up to $3125 if three or more land anywhere. Besides, 3+ scatters unlock 15, 20 or 25 free spins with all wins tripled during the feature. The first largest jackpot to be won in the game is $3750, and is awarded for hitting five Peggy Rotten symbols on adjacent reels.

The General Motors DUKW (Duck) was an amphibious vehicle used by the allies in World War 2. It was designed by a team led by an American racing sailboat designer, and they based it on the standard 2.5 ton truck.
Thirty years after the end of the war that inspired its creation, at an event on an almost windless day on the California coast in May 1975, a DUKW ferried hang gliders and their pilots the mile from the car park to the top of the 450 ft Guadalupe Dune. That is the example that my model depicts.
Seldom do "wheels" of any kind attract even a glance at a flying site. But the bright orange amphibious "duck" that shuttled people and gliders back and forth was an attraction in itself. The $1 fare was a bargain.
One pilot who attended the Guadalupe dune hang gliding event described it in the UK hang gliding magazine as dayglo orange and another author, in the US magazine, described it as bright orange. To allow for possible over-enthusiasm of the writers involved, I used plain orange. The configuration of the Duck – wheel guards fitted, windshield folded down, splash guard down, no canvas top, and no gun mount – is based on black and white photos in those articles.
The width of the actual content of this photo is three inches (8 cm).
The folded up harnesses are based on the flight bags that come with the aircrew/ground crew sets (as did the helmet) with bit of bent wire for the stirrup and some chords made either from stringy Bostik (glue) and/or cotton thread.
The ladder on the port side of the DUKW, visible in the photo in Ground Skimmer, is from my spare parts box.
Among the kites there were Seagull 3s and 5s, Dragonflies, Bennett Phoenix, Swallowtails, Quicksilvers, Conquests, three Icarus 5s, and Volmer with his VJ24.
We no longer refer to hang gliders as kites (a hangover from World War 2 slang) but there is a scratch builder's paradise in that one sentence. The Seagulls had parabolic curved leading edges and the Ultralight Products Dragonfly had a short keel and 'truncated' tips, which gave it a yaw characteristic that imparted a uniquely graceful motion in the air. The Quicksilver was a fabric and tube hang glider with a straight wing and tailplane, and a rudder connected to the seat harness. It had no ailerons or equivalent, but its exaggerated dihedral caused it to bank in turns. The Icarus 5 was a tailless rigid with drag rudders, and Volmer Jensen's VJ-24 was an aluminium and fabric sailplane with a hang cage instead of an enclosed cockpit.
However, my hang gliders are 'standard Rogallos' plus one Seagull 3. I made them out of tissue paper, cocktail sticks, wire, thread, glue, and paint. I could write a short book about the trouble I had scratch-building them, but it would not be an interesting book.
You might notice that the glider with the blue sail has parabolic curved leading edges like the Seagull 3. I formed the curves by semi-breaking the cocktail stick airframe tubes at several points. Unfortunately, I made a mistake (one of many) and I had to cut the keel short, so it is more like the Seagull 4 of a few years later. However, the difference is not apparent in the finished item in its de-rigged state.
The actual content of this close-up is just over two inches (6 cm) wide measured at the hang glider.
Referring to the hang glider close-up: The rolled up sail is tissue paper and the larger airframe tubes, which are rather too thick, are wooden cocktail sticks. (Only the cross-tube is visible because the leading edge and keel tubes are inside the sail.) The control frame is a piece of bent wire, the king post is polystyrene 'stretched sprue', and the rigging cables are cotton thread, as are the sail ties.
The figure is one inch (2.5 cm) tall.
They would fold up the kite in a slap-dash manner, load as many as possible on a few vans, and floor the gas pedal all the way back up the hill with those triangular gold, black and yellow control bars hanging all over the roofs of the vehicles in a tangle of wires.
The polka-dot sail Wills Wing Swallowtail in the accompanying photo is visible parked on the sand in one of the photos in Ground Skimmer. It (or another identical wing) was used later that summer for the making of Sky Riders starring James Coburn, Susannah York, and others. So there is plenty of potential for adding to this set of models if I am ever short of a challenge!

Trade Facilitation Measures: Avoiding a 'one size fits all' approach
Stand-Alone Posts
Wanjiku Waweru
High trade costs and slow customs clearance procedures contribute to low intra-Africa trade and threaten the very core purpose of Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Moreover, inclusion of limited trade facilitation measures in REC agreements fail to inspire implementation. The Agreement on the Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA) between Common Markets for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC) also features trade facilitation measures. Although those provisions mirror SADC's Protocol on trade, they neither build on the already existing trade facilitation measures contained in the individual REC agreements nor concretize legally binding obligations.
Annex 4 of the Agreement Establishing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) expounds on trade facilitation agenda. The main objectives include: to simplify and harmonise international trade procedures and logistics to expedite the process of importation, exportation and transit; and to expedite the movement, clearance and release of goods including goods in transit across borders. Most provisions under this Annex have borrowed largely from the World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA). This post highlights distinctive features of the WTO's TFA which are particularly relevant to Developing and Least-Developed Member States.
Noting the different levels of economic development amongst AfCFTA State Parties, this post intends to shed light on implementation of Annex 4 to the benefit of all. This is in part due to the fact that the TFA steers away from the 'one size fits all' approach and instead introduces new, unique and innovative features to facilitate Members' integration into the global value networks. Furthermore, I contend that the features discussed could serve as a model to further elaborate on Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) as a guiding principle within the context of trade facilitation measures.
TFA in a nutshell
The TFA entered into force on 22 February 2017. It is arguably the most successful outcome of the WTO's Doha round of trade negotiations launched in 2001. According to the WTO's 2015 World Trade Report, it is estimated that implementation of TFA will reduce transaction costs by up to 14.3 %. It is also estimated that the TFA will have a bigger impact on trade cost reduction than elimination of all remaining tariffs around the world. With implementation of the TFA, WTO Members aim: to expedite the movement, release and clearance of goods, including goods in transit; to facilitate effective cooperation among members on trade facilitation and customs and compliance issues; and, to enhance assistance and support for capacity building for developing and least developed country members.
The Agreement has three sections. Section I contains the substantive provisions, grouped in 12 articles covering the following areas: Publication and availability of information, opportunity to comment, information before entry into force, and consultation, advance rulings, appeal and review procedures, other measures to enhance impartiality, non-discrimination and transparency, disciplines on fees and charges imposed on or in connection with importation and exportation, release and clearance of goods, border agency cooperation, movement of goods under customs control intended for import, formalities connected with importation and exportation and transit, freedom of transit and customs cooperation. Section II includes the provisions on special and differential treatment for developed and least-developed county members, as well as the provisions on technical assistance and capacity building. Section III contains institutional arrangements and final provisions, covering the relationship with the other WTO agreements, the accession process of Members to the agreement after entry into force, the WTO committee on Trade Facilitation, and national trade facilitation committees to be established in all WTO Member States.
Ratification/ Implementation
At the time of writing, 141 (86%) WTO Members have deposited their instruments of ratification of the TFA. 32 of those are African countries. The rate of implementation of commitments stands at 61.9%.
Notification Requirements
Transparency notifications- Member states are obliged to publish information for governments and traders on: Import, export and transit procedures, the operation of single window, the use of custom brokers and contact points for the exchange of customs information.
Implementation notifications- For Developing and Least Developed Member States to benefit from Special and Differential Treatment (SDT), they must list each provision of the Agreement under Categories A B and C and notify other WTO Members of these categorizations in accordance with specific timelines outlined in the Agreement. Category A is for provisions that the Member will implement by the time the Agreement enters into force or in the case of a least developed country Member within one year after entry into force. Under Category B, the Member is required to notify the provisions to be implemented after a transitional period following the entry into force of the Agreement. Category C contains provisions that the Member will implement on a date after the transitional period following the entry into force of the Agreement and requiring the acquisition of assistance and support for capacity building.
Information on assistance and support for capacity building-Member states have to notify support for capacity building provided by donor members, process and mechanisms and contact points of developing countries and LDC Members seeking technical assistance and capacity building.
The following are some of the distinctive features of the TFA which are useful for developing Member states:
The legal obligation to implement measures under section I is linked to the acquisition of implementation capacity, including through the provision of technical assistance. WTO secretariat delivers technical assistance to developing countries. WTO Members (both developed and developing) also devote aid resources, on a best endeavour basis, to assist developing countries with WTO matters and trade facilitation.
They are allowed to designate the implementation date for each TFA measure in addition to their technical assistance needs to acquire the necessary implementation capacity. They designate their commitments for implementation upon entry into force (Category A), implementation on a date after a transitional period of time (Category B), or implementation on a date after a transitional period of time and requiring the acquisition of implementation capacity through provision of assistance and support for capacity (Category C).
Developing Member states are allowed to alter their commitments and notifications during implementation. They are entitled to extend definitive implementation dates or shift measures from Category B to C following entry into force. For short extensions, less than 18 months for developing countries or less than three years for LDCs, the additional time is automatically granted. For longer extension, or where the Member requests multiple extensions for the same measure, the WTO Trade Facilitation Committee will be required to give sympathetic consideration for additional time.
Important to note is that though implementation of the TFA may be slow, it is progressive. Additionally, the Agreement recognizes that WTO Member states are at different levels of economic development. AfCFTA State Parties could consider adopting unique approaches, such as those mentioned above, and many others that could ensure smooth implementation of trade facilitation measures to allow for realization of the objectives set out in Annex 4.

So Lehigh county did'nt need a 16% tax increase.
Up until now, I have keep quite about Commissioner Dean Browning. But, reading the article by Jenna Portnoy in the morning call today has prompted me to address this issue.
Commissioner Dean Browning has been called a lot of things over the past several months. But, smart is not one of them. He was the deciding vote for the 16% tax increase back in October. Perhaps in hind site, he may have been wise, to find a compromise when voting for the budget. But, he didn't even try. He took a stand against his fellow Republicans and the Public in general. Now he is spending a good deal of money to try and convince people the he is a Conservative. This is seven months late and 16% short. I personally like Dean, most of the time, and we agree on a few issues and disagree on several others. After attending, almost all, the Commissioners meetings for almost 2 years, I would not call Dean a Conservative.
In my opinion he is what some would describe as a "fence walker". He plays on both teams and is hoping for a political future beyond County Commissioner. One thing everyone should know by now, He is a establishment Republican and a far cry from a Conservative.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Might Relocate to AFRICA
Blueprince Sun Apr, 2019
Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle could relocate to the continent of Africa following a major international job offered by the Buckingham Palace.
The Duke of Sussex's advisors is presently working on a specific role for the couple.
The role could see the couple moving to Africa on behalf of the commonwealth along with charity work and a role promoting the United Kingdom, according to a report by Sunday Times.
According to Sunday Times,
Discussions are at an early stage but the plan is to find a new way of using their soft power abilities, most likely in Africa,
The plan forwarded by the former British ambassador to the US, Sir David Manning, who currently serves as a special advisor on constitutional and international affairs to both Prince William and Prince Harry.
CAPTION: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
SOURCE: cheatsheet
The new role would also provide Meghan Markle and Prince Harry the opportunity to enjoy a break from the split between the two royal couples at the same time allowing them to use their global appeal and fame.
The job could have the Prince leave the United Kingdom for two or more years although discussions are at an early stage.
The decision is likely to be enacted in 2020 once the Royal couple has had their newborn baby which is expected at the end of April 2019.
Prince Harry has close bonds to the continent and has been visiting Africa for a couple of years.
According to Royal sources, South Africa and Malawi are being considered as options for the Royal couple's new residence.
Senior royal officials allegedly want to find Harry a permanent role as Prince William prepares to be king.
Palace insiders have said a role was created specifically to take the couple away from the UK for two to three years.

Explore an untouched and largely unknown part of wild Patagonia. The Gaucho Way is our signature route. It follows traditional routes used by the Gauchos, Chilean cowboys who are friends and neighbors. On horseback, they herd cattle to market and return to their homesteads with flour, sugar, yerba mate and other sundries. The Gaucho Way denotes both their passage through the mountain landscape and their distinctive, gracious culture. We trek through beautiful valleys, lush forests, craggy mountain trails, and sandy beaches all with the Northern Patagonia Icefield rising 10,000 feet above you.
Day 2: Arrive Santiago. Domestic flight to Balmaceda Regional Airport (BBA). Private transfer to Puerto Bertrand. Overnight Pto. Bertrand at Local Guest Cabin or Bed and Breakfast.

Day 2: Upon arrival to the Santiago airport (SCL) you transfer to a domestic flight. Your driver will meet you at the regional Balmaceda airport (BBA) where you will continue your journey. You will travel south on the Austral Highway on paved and improved gravel roads. Within 300 kilometers of driving you pass two small villages, Villa Cerro Castillo, at the foot of its impressive peak, and Puerto Río Tranquilo, a village on the shores of Lago General Carrera, Chile's largest lake, and South America's second largest lake.
Driving time is approximately six hours.
Day 3: After breakfast and final preparations for your first two days of trekking, you depart mid-morning, taking a short boat shuttle to the start of our hike. The route will follow a trail along the lakeshore and along stock trails, accompanied by our daypacks loaded only with essential items. Luggage, equipment, and food comes by horseback or boat in the care of our horse packers and staff. This allows for exploring and adventure. A short boat shuttle at the end of the hike will end of the day, depending upon the final route chosen to your tent camp for the night.
Trekking distance is approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 mi).
Day 4: Today holds a spectacular segment of the trek. Our route will rise up intermittently forested slopes to a high shoulder overlooking the joining of waters between Lago Bertrand and Lago Plomo. These waters connect through a breach in the long, narrow moraine that forms a peninsula separating the two lakes. This short gap demarcates where the deep blue of Lago Bertrand abruptly changes to the jade green of Lago Plomo.
After the trail's initial ascent, you will hike along rocky outcroppings, across high alpine valleys, and through enchanted forests of moss-covered beech trees. The glaciated peaks are at your shoulder and the waters of the lake are below your feet. Keep an eye skyward in search of an Andean condor, with its distinctively broad wingspan. Near the lake's end are spectacular views far up the Solér Valley, where the afternoon sun stands watch over the enormous expanse of the Patagonia Icefield summits.
Finish the day with a descent past a marble outcropping, sculpted by time and the elements, and walk across a forested pasture to the dock, boats, houses and barns of the main ranch. It will be a long, satisfying day finished with a wholesome meal, a glass of fine Chilean wine, and falling asleep in the rustic, relaxing guest house.
Trekking distance is approximately 12 kilometers (7 mi.).
Day 5: Spend the day exploring the ranch and surrounding property. Choose between a leisurely day exploring the old growth forest, searching for wild morel mushrooms, enjoying a horse ride or just relaxing. If you prefer more vigorous activity you may also choose to explore one of the surrounding alpine valleys. In the evening loads are prepared for panniers and packhorses that will accompany us on the next portion of our trip.
Overnight in the guest house.
Trekking distance is approximately 0-18 kilometers (0-11 mi.).
Day 6: Begin the day with yerba mate, a bitter tea sipped from a gourd through a metal straw. It is a traditional start to any Patagonia day and important social custom. After a hearty breakfast, the horses are saddled, the packhorses loaded with food and camping gear, and you begin your trek. You carry only essentials in your daypack as you travel along the route. There are several short creek crossings so don't forget those sandals or water shoes.
The long valleys, lush temperate forests, and mountain peaks offer a wide variety of terrain in which to hike and it's not uncommon to see soaring condors. The varied terrain means that you'll be able to experience everything from craggy mountain trails to long, sandy beaches, and always with a backdrop of the majestic mountain panorama.
Tonight's destination is situated on the banks of the Cacho River. This tent camp is located just beyond the intersection of two expansive valleys facing each other across the Solér Valley floor. This is one of our favorite spots and we always sense energy here, be it from the massive peaks, the open space, the flowing water, or the pristine landscape. There's contentment here in an evening fire, enjoying good company, and watching the horses graze against a slowly darkening backdrop that reveals southern stars above white, jagged peaks.
Day 7: Awake to mate and breakfast are around a campfire as you watch the morning's sun slip down from the peak tops to the valley floor. Today you explore an untouched depth of wild Patagonia that is seldom revealed.
If the day is clear, your views will encompass the surrounding peaks and glaciers, five and six thousand feet in elevation above, and the awe-inspiring and formidable Northern Patagonia Icefield, with Cerro Hyades standing firm at the head of the Cacho Valley. The difference in elevation between the valley floor at the far end of our Cacho Ranch and the summit of this colossal peak is 10,000 feet!
Along the way is the old-growth forest of Coigüe, or Dombey's beech, with its elegant branches and thick, lustrous evergreen leaves. The large Magellanic woodpecker is frequently seen or heard here, with its resoundingly deep echo reverberating through the air as it searches for grubs in the ruin of aged trunks. This is also home to the endangered huemul, or South Andean Deer, as well as predators such as Geoffroy's Cat, Patagonian Fox, and Puma. Hidden in plain view, inconspicuous amongst the grandeur of the landscape, is a marble mountainside.
Overnight at the Glacier tent camp.
Trekking distance will vary and is approximately 12-18 kilometers (7-11 mi.).
Day 8: The night's long song of rumbling ice falls and murmuring tree branches gives way to the crackle of the campfire and early morning calls of the Chucao and Hued-Hued. Weather, river levels, as well as the group's pace and energy ultimately influence our route today. If conditions permit, it is possible to reach as far as the massive glacier's edge before continuing towards the Solér Valley.
Perhaps we will have an opportunity to pass by one of our few neighbor's homesteads, subsistence ranches deep in the wilderness, an enclave of human presence and friendly hospitality.
Our tent camp location will be chosen based on conditions.
Day 9: As the morning sunlight edges toward camp from across the river, you'll sip yerba mate around the morning fire, and marvel as the light plays over the peaks of snow, ice and rock. There's plenty of time to take in the beauty before packing up camp, and heading back home down valley. Upon departing, we will trek one of several routes back down the valley to to the main ranch.
The evening will include a customary Patagonia barbecue, or asado. Guests, staff and neighbors traditionally all share in this feast of meat, slow-roasted over an open fire, new potatoes, fresh salad from the greenhouse, bread and wine. Don't be surprised if you find yourself staying up late to listen to the strumming of a guitar and a soft, Spanish melody.
Trekking distance is approximately 12-16 kilometers (7-10 mi.).
Day 10: Breathe in this refreshing, cool morning air. Spend the morning on a stroll along the beach, or through the orchards, gardens and greenhouses. Take a walk in the pasture and share a moment with the horses, or relax as you prepare to say goodbye to the ranch before departing by boat to Puerto Bertrand. The dock there is the departure point for a whitewater rafting descent of the crystal-clear powerhouse that is the Baker River.
Overnight in a local guest cabin, or bed and breakfast.
Day 11: Depart for the Balmaceda airport, home.
We hope that this sample itinerary highlights what this trip offers. Ideally, each trip is best crafted by working together with our guests and clients. Each trip's length, activity types, and skill level may be adapted to meet a party's goals and desires.


People have been touring each of the three Vigo County high schools as discussion continue about what to do about the aging buildings. With the last of the tours complete, school officials can move forward.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Concerned citizens walked the halls of West Vigo High School Monday night to educate themselves as the school board considers ways to deal with deteriorating buildings.
Lisa Spence, a Taxpayers Association and Citizens for Better Government of Vigo County member, says she came out for a tour to get a sense of what needs fixing.
"Clearly there are roof problems and issues with pipes and that sort of thing but I will say that it looks like the staff does a really, really good job taking care of things as best they can with the age of the building."
People have been touring each of the three Vigo County high schools as discussion continues about what to do about the aging buildings.
With the last of the tours complete, school officials can move forward.
Superintendent Danny Tanoos says, "I believe the next steps that they will do is to develop a community committee at some point to just have good conversations about the facilities overall, what's going on, what they look like, what the future would be and go over those four or five plans that we've presented."
Tanoos says the first option is replacing North and South with one building and replacing West for a total of two high schools. The second option is renovating each building. Rebuilding all three schools is the third option. The fourth option would be creating four high schools and the fifth option is a combination of renovation and rebuilding.
Meanwhile, new research shows the student population district wide will shrink by nearly five hundred kids over the next five years, and hundreds more by 2028.
Tanoos says this will be considered when picking the best option for the district.
Spence says, "That will come at a cost but really the intent in my mind is, as I'm sure everybody wants, is have the best schools we can have."
Tanoos says a community committee could be created in February with discussions lasting about six months. He says he is in no rush and wants to take time to consider all options. The school board will work with consultants to decide when they are ready to bring a plan up for a referendum.

Miley Cyrus Defends "Innocent" Racy Photos
by Free Britney at December 31, 2007 5:26 am . Updated at December 16, 2021 8:13 am .
Okay. Britney Spears, no pants, this isn't.
But some racy Miley Cyrus photos - featuring the singer frolicking on a hotel floor with a female friend and sharing a piece of candy - have been circulating around the web and causing plenty of controversy in recent days.
Before her sold-out Best of Both Worlds concert at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island (N.Y.), the 15-year-old pop sensation insists that the candid shots are innocent - though she is upset they got out in the first place.
"At first, I was really upset. It really sucks," said the Hannah Montana star, who at one point exclaimed, "Look at me getting all upset!"
Not that she plans to shrug off the scandal, or the fact that the photos were leaked.
"It's not something I'm going to let slide," Cyrus said. "I'm really upset about it, 'cause it was not even a big deal."
As for the blonde tonguing that piece of candy with her in the shots, Miley Cyrus calls her "a friend of mine that's a normal girl... That's one of my best friends. I have all these girls who I hang out with all the time."
Lucky.
While Cyrus says she's used to all the attention she gets as a celebrity, both good and bad - "This girl doesn't even have to deal with that, and it's so hard for her. She has to go to school and deal with this crap."
Concerning the racy Miley Cyrus photos themselves, the star says "It's two girls at a sleepover. If that's bad, then what is the world coming to?"
On a musical note, Cyrus also says that she's into her current tour for the fun of it - and once the fun goes away, so will she.
"What I decided before I came to L.A. and started working was the minute I didn't have fun was the minute I go home. I don't want to go home, and I don't want to not do what I do, because I love it, but this ... it's Satan attacking."

Today's itinerary has us docking in Labadee, Haiti, on Royal Caribbean's private island. While we're there, the ship will be delivering relief supplies for the earthquake rebuilding efforts. I'll discuss in more detail my feelings on docking in Haiti when I return.
Until then, please welcome my bloggy twin in name: Jess from 21 Days who will be talking about deciding between a half and full marathon!
On January 5, 2007, I found myself at mile 26 of the Disney Marathon wanting to die. That's not hyperbole. Seriously, my one desire on that day, in that moment, was to allow myself to keel over into the Epcot grass and allow myself to succumb to the pain and misery that the marathon was inflicting upon me and die.
A year later, on January 27, 2008, I found myself at mile 13 of the Miami Half Marathon, and as I rounded the last corner before the race's final stretch, I felt invigorated, strong, and bursting with pride.
I crossed the finish line of both of those races, but the differences in how I felt when I crossed the finish line of those two races, pretty much sums up my two very different feelings about the half and the full marathon.
In 2006, when I registered for the Disney Marathon, I did so partially because I felt that, as a runner, my ultimate running goal should include conquering the marathon. I knew I was supposed to want to run a marathon. I was supposed to yearn for it, I was supposed to aspire toward it, and I was supposed to hunger for it. The truth was, though, that I really didn't feel that passionately about it. I just felt that to be a "real" runner, I should feel all those things for it. So, I registered for the wrong reasons, trained inappropriately and inadequately, and ultimately, I missed my time goal by a huge margin and was in incredible pain at the end. So, I finished, yes. But it wasn't a good race.
Did I learn my lesson after that? Of course not!
I turned around and registered for Chicago in 2007. That time around, I was determined to have my revenge on the marathon. I would train like a superhero and I would meet every expectation that I had failed to achieve at Disney. So, the 2nd time around, I trained with a group. I did all my long runs, all my speed work, all my hills. But none of that was all that much help that fated day when the marathon got cancelled in the middle of the race due to the extreme heat, and I found myself in a medical tent being treated for heat exhaustion instead of crossing the finish line in my glorious revenge.
Then, I learned my lesson.
I realized, after Chicago, that I didn't really like any aspect of the marathon: I just felt like I was supposed to like it. And, that, certainly, wasn't a good enough reason to train for one again. So, I decided instead to step back and think about what distances I did like – 5K was too short for someone like me who's not speedy, 10K seemed alright but I wanted a greater sense of challenge when training and a greater sense of accomplishment when crossing the finish line. So, I naturally arrived at the half marathon.
Since crossing the finish line at Miami 2 years ago, I've run 5 other half marathons, and in the next few months, I plan to add 3 more to that. In the half marathon, I've found the perfect balance of a challenging distance combined with a manageable training schedule. I can run 20-25 miles a week and be in good condition for the half marathon; my long runs don't take me any longer than 2 hours; and on race day, I look forward to the distance instead of dreading and fearing it.
Will I ever go back to the full marathon? Probably. But, I need to wait until I can come up with the right reasons to do so. For now, I'm happy with the half. It works well for me and the kind of runner that I am. Thus, discovering the kind of race I prefer, and being comfortable with that, probably makes me a "real" runner in more ways than what I thought I was doing when I forced myself to believe I wanted to be a marathoner.
Thanks, Jess from FL, for this post! A part of me would love to try and attempt the marathon distance but I can't think of very many pros to that. I love the HM distance and hope to do another one in the near future!
I feel the same way about the half ironman triathlon. Since trying the distance the first time, it feels like the right distance to train for and really accomplish something, but still not end up in the medical tent or completely alienating your family to train like the full ironman will.
i concur fully! thanks florida-jess for the guest post. i ran chicago '07 too - it was definitely rough. i've continued to drag myself to more marathons but i'm beginning to see the light too and may cutback here soon.
Thanks for allowing me to guest blog!
Thanks for letting FL-Jess to post... now I get to know your blog too! I like it :-D I've done a full and some HMs... and although I LOVED that I finished a full... the half is just better on my lifestyle.
Nicely said FL Jess. I agree completely with what you said, although I've never attempted a full, I just can't see myself committing to the training and the distance. The half marathon seems so much more manageable.
I really love half marathons, but keep getting sucked in to fulls with this idea that it makes me more of a runner...so DUMB!
This is interesting to me because I am the complete opposite. I'm currently training for my 13th marathon (I've also completed 3 road and 3 trail halfs). Marathon training has been a part of my life for the past 5+ years, so I don't think twice about finding time to fit some runs into a busy week.
They also have a challenge where you can complete 100 halfs anywhere- so you don't have to travel to every state.
My name's Jess and I'm the writer/runner here at Jess Runs. This blog covers all aspects of running, health and fitness, including training, nutrition, motivation and making running fun. You can contact me at jess@jessruns.com.
