2021 India-New Zealand T20 World Cup: India-New Zealand Match Update, Key Players, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ken Williamson, Muhammad Shami

T20 FIFA World Cup 2021, India and New Zealand today: From an expected opening match in the park to clinging to the T20 World Cup campaign in the 2021 FIFA World Cup, Team India have experienced a whole host of emotions already. Now, Men in Blue face the Black Caps in a do-or-die match in Dubai today.
Having been completely outgunned before suffering a 10 wicket defeat to Pakistan in their opening match, India will be looking to hold the ship and get their first points on the board in Super 12. But it's easier said than done with New Zealand's stealth team. waiting to pounce. The Black Caps also suffered defeat at the hands of Pakistan in their opening group match and they will need to beat India to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.
India vs New Zealand history: New Zealand is India's biggest bogeyman at the World Cup, with 2003 the last time the Men in Blue team won the Black Cup once in cricket's biggest competition. On that occasion, Sourav Ganguly's side inflicted a seven-wicket defeat to the kiwi led by Stephen Fleming at Centurion. Even this win came after a 16-year wait. India had defeated New Zealand twice in the 1987 World Cup, followed by two losses in the 1992 and 1999 editions.
Since then, India have faced New Zealand three times in the World Cup Finals, losing all three, including a semi-final defeat at the 2019 Men's Cricket World Cup in England.
The numbers make for a grim reading of the T20 World Cups. India has not beaten New Zealand by the shortest form in any ICC event. In 2007, in the inaugural edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, the Black Caps team won by 10 runs. In 2016, New Zealand had a 47-round win.
In general, in India's 10 World Cup matches against New Zealand, the "Men in Blue" team won only three times.
Kohli's Choice Dilemma: On the eve of the confrontation, India captain Virat Kohli gave an update on the fitness of multiplayer Hardik Pandya. Kohli said the Baroda man had to regain full fitness to give more or two.
Kohli said it's important to have a sixth choice of bowling, either through him or through Pandya.
The Team India mantra confirmed that Pandya's shoulder injury was not an issue, but also hinted at the selection of Shardul Thakur. Kohli said that Shardol is in their plans and he is constantly defending himself. He added that Chardol was someone who could add value to the team.
India team behind Al Shami: Al-Kohli also criticized the trolls for targeting Mohammed Al-Shami after the loss to Pakistan. Kohli condemned the mass insults of a Bengali bowler and said that attacking someone because of their religion is the most pathetic thing a human can do.
Kohli added that they played on the field and were not a bunch of vulnerable trolls on social media.
Bolt warning: New Zealand soccer player Trent Bolt has revealed how he has targeted India's star-studded batting squad, having developed an understanding of their playing style during his time in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The early wicket player Bowler said early wickets are the focus as a bowling group, adding that they need to be gentle and precise where they put the ball.
Bolt said he also saw how the top Indian team struggled with Shaheen Shah Afridi's speed and swing, adding that as a left-back himself, he would try to do the same against India.
Major Battles of India and New Zealand: For two star-studded teams, there will be plenty of small fights that can change the fortune of a match when Men in Blue take over the Black Caps.
Rohit Sharma vs. Tim Southee, Tim Southee: The Mumbai Indians' opener will be a left-arm encounter at Trent Bolt, after he was knocked out by hyper-pace and swung the other left wing at Shaheen Shah Afridi in the match against Pakistan. Bolt has faced Rohit three times in the international T20s, and has been knocked out twice.
Rohit also struggled against Tim South, who knocked him out three times in the international T20s.
KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma vs Mitchell Santner: New Zealand captain Williamson might imagine the orthodox style of Mitchell Santner versus Rohit and Rahul. Santner has already knocked out Rohit twice in international cricket. Rahul has a 97.1 hit average against left-arm orthodox bowling in the T20s, although he scored 55 points from 33 balls against Santner in the five-game series in 2020.
Ken Williamson vs. Varun Chakravarthy: Williamson has shown some discomfort with right-leg bowling in the past two years. India could exploit this weakness and pit Varun against Kiwi, who scored just twice from four balls in their IPL encounter.

With only senior year left, Lauren wants to get out of high school and into the real world where she aspires to be a journalist. But her inability to speak publicly, along with students picking on her, Lauren's future is at stake. Her only chance of...

Feeling like she didn't belong but also being in a group of multiple people was a profession in Camila's life. It seemed like no matter where she went, there was nowhere for her to really go. She either existed or didn't, and that was the gist of it all. But, Camila wasn't a loner. She had many friends and social groups to be a part of. Her problem was, though, that none of them truly understood anything about her. Nothing about her, to be completely honest. They could know how many beauty pageants she had attended, how many teeth she still had left in her mouth, and whether she shaved everyday, but they would know nothing about her.
The only person that truly knew Camila was Lauren, and slowly she was wrecking that to fit in with people who only knew bits and pieces of her. Things that weren't really a part of Camila. It was like the beauty pageants and the perfectionism and the good grades were all ghosts that wouldn't go away, plaguing her wherever she went.
Camila sighed softly, pressing her back against her locker, trying to convince herself that it wasn't going to be a bad day. She didn't have an pageants coming up, and she was certain that graduation was coming sooner than she thought. But, there was still a bad energy that wouldn't leave her mind. It was then that Camila started to think about Lauren, the girl she loved dearly. The girl who she was devastating and treating like a leper. The girl who went from one of her best friends to a person she could drag her feet on.
Lauren was better than Camila, and she was more than Camila deserved. Camila needed stability in her life, but couldn't grasp onto it. Lauren was the only sense of that, and she treated her like shit. Like she was nothing. Camila was starting to realize she was the one that meant nothing. She was the one that deserved the abuse that she had been throwing at the green-eyed beauty.
Camila closed her eyes tight, pushing a hand through her hair as she tried to think of something to do. She had to fix everything that she had ruined between her and Lauren, before she lost the girl forever. But, she couldn't lose her boyfriend and other friends in the process. Especially not Normani, one of the only persons who actually understood her and would be okay with her coming out as gay.
When Camila had opened her eyes, it was like fate was trying to send her a message. Lauren was just ten feet away from her, probably walking from the art room towards her first class. Camila perked up, then went over to Lauren, a small smile on her face.
"Hey, Lauren. Can we talk?" Camila asked, fixing her hair behind her ear.
Lauren simply glared at the smaller girl, sending chills down the brown-eyed girl's spine. "I thought my name was dyke. That seems to be what you enjoy calling me," she replied coldly before pushing past Camila, making the latter step back towards the wall.
Camila frowned, disappointed that Lauren truly thought that she meant those mean things. Camila didn't mean anything she had been saying to the older girl. In fact, Camila didn't really mean half of the things she said anymore.
Camila's life was a web of lies that kept growing larger and larger. She was starting to get the threads mixed up. She didn't even know what had started it all. But, she kept adding onto it, making her life so much worse.
"Lauren! Wait, please," Camila begged, running to catch up with the girl. "Please, don't push me away. Please don't."
Lauren twisted around suddenly, making Camila almost bump into her. "No. I shouldn't even be talking to you right now. I shouldn't be looking at you right now. I spent time with you because I thought you were my friend," she ranted, shaking her head. "I was so wrong! So fucking wrong. You're not my friend, you're just a manipulative bitch. I don't talk to anyone else, Camila. No one else in this school. I hate talking to others. I hate everything about other people. But, I still tried to break out of my shell and talk to you, because I wanted to be your friend. I thought I was wrong about you. But I wasn't. You're weak and a bitch and a liar."

The New Mind
The Torch of Intelligence
Channelling
Cosmic Characters
The Book of Life, which is eternal, has no beginning
Never Before Been Disclosed To Human Eyes
eBook – "The Gift of the Rose"
Foreword | Chapters
The energy of Love beyond cosmic is the foundation from which the book has been written. It is a declaration that the veil separating humans from their cosmic heritage has been lifted.
The contents of the book carry material that has never before been disclosed to human eyes. It is a voice for the vision of the Divine Mother which develops wisdom and beauty. Her role is to marry the cosmic and planetary levels. We call it the connection.
The book of four hundred pages contains selections from discussions that have occurred between the messengers on planet Earth and the One, cosmic Angels, the Ancients and the Divine Family, which includes the Mother, Father, Jesus and the Unnamed One who carries the cosmic title of Lucifer. Some of the characters featured include Satan, Yahweh/Jehovah, the Devil, Archangels, Quetzelcoatl, Blue People, Ascended Masters, Melchizadeks, Hermes and many more. These personalities come alive as they offer their viewpoints on the roles they have played and in some cases still play.
There are exposés showing the lies that have bound the human mental programs in states of servitude because of the religious systems developed from the god sense, which we will show is nonsense. The destruction of the World Trade Centre is a feature in the book and discloses the people responsible who support the use of terrorists and their attacks for their own advantage. The material is controversial because it shines the light on secret issues and beliefs.
The book is to be savoured for the cosmic energy it carries and it will enhance and develop the lives of readers. There is the promise in "The Gift of the Rose". (Click here or the Front Cover to preview)"
Foreward – "The Gift of the Rose"
This book has been written with the consent of Angel and Ancient energies working in the cosmic field. The Gift of the Rose is a book that carries the promise of Love. It is written with an energy designed to release the fears that bind the mental frameworks. Those who wrote the religious books including the Holy Bible and the Koran have never been able to offer a connection to unite the people of planet Earth with their cosmic heritage. Now the Gift of the Rose brings a breath of understanding to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. It will shift the levels of consciousness that will awaken the dreamers. Those who think they have their act together are the dreamers. Fear is their daily companion and sits on their shoulder urging them to run. So they chase a dream. After all the donkeys need the carrots to move. Like the donkey the achiever is a chaser. A chaser of shadows. Can anyone compel a shadow to be still?
We can show you how to eliminate the shadows in the mental processes. When the mind is clear the body will follow. Why do people become slaves to fashion? It is pain that sets the pace and they waste their lives and their money in following the dictates of some crippled mind, which deems that change is exciting.
Do people want to remain as mindless chooks running after straws of wheat called truth, which appear tantalising, yet are unreachable? If they do they will disregard these messages. It is not their turn to find the understandings that can set them on their feet to discovery.
The book has the endorsement of the Shining Ones who are beyond the cosmic zone. Beyond them are links and lineages that trace like fine gossamer filaments all the way back to the One.
It is a story that carries tremendous importance for the people of planet Earth. It does not detail the progress of humankind. In the aeons of Earth's history that would indeed be an immense task covering a span of time of more than two and a half million years. This is a story that pertains to a particular bloodline that had a birthing in the cosmos.
The cosmic energies call it the Divine Family. The story, which is a portion of much greater stories, tells of the loss of innocence and is connected to the development of the human. The tale is drawn from life's experiences and like a scorpion the sting is in the tail.

Great Family Trip in a Beautiful Home and Excellent Service!
We traveled to Villa Nautica with our extended family this past February vacation. There were 7 adults and 5 children (ranging from 22 months to 12 years old). We have traveled as a group to many different resorts/properties and we all agreed this was the absolute best vacation we have taken. To start, the house is beautiful, spacious and perfectly laid-out. Whether the kids were playing inside, eating at the dining table, out by the pool or out on the beach, everyone was always within eye-shot. This was perfect since everyone could sit/play/eat where they were most comfortable (instead of EVERYONE having to make a choice and do the same thing at the same time). In addition, there was a great little jacuzzi under a covered veranda that the kids spent a lot of time in. Since it was covered, the kids got a nice break from the sun, which was an unexpected benefit and probably saved us from a lot of sunburns! Puerto Adventuras was also a great gated community. We rented a golf cart and would often take short trips into the village to get gelato, go shopping, play tennis or swim with the dolphins. It was also a great area to stroll the baby around or go for a jog. We felt safe at all times and the grounds were beautifully kept. Finally, the food was absolutely AMAZING - so fresh and delicious. We had planned to eat out a few nights while we were there, but after two delicious dinners at home, we opted to eat EVERY meal at the house! Everyone was so kind and accommodating and the food was top notch - especially the soups, salads and homemade tortillas and guacamole! We would absolutely recommend this place to a friend!
We stayed at Villa Nautica in Puerto Aventuras during President's Week 2015. The villa was beautiful and nicely accommodated our party of 7 adults and five children, ranging in age from just under 2 years to 13 years old. There was plenty of room and lots for the kids to do. The food was absolutely wonderful, provided by two sets of chefs. We had intended to go out to dinner but after the first couple of meals, decided to eat everything inside the villa. Loved every meal, fresh, delicious and the staff was very nice. The head chef in the evenings also had his own catering business. It was great. The kids could go from beach to pool to hot tub and they loved it. At advice of our concierge we rented a golf cart for the week. Best decision. Everyone used it a number of times to go into town, shop, gelato, dolphin swim, just fun ride with the kids, and many other things. The best part may have been the attentiveness of our on-site concierge. She was on site every day and everything she did or advised us of was great. She came by at least once a day and addressed any problems or questions immediately. The only negative was that the advertised wifi worked only intermittently. While our concierge did her utmost, there was something wrong with band width or something. We all anticipated having working wifi, so it was a disappointment. That notwithstanding, however, everything was great and we would definitely recommend this to friends for a good size group or multi-generational family like ours.

Can a brand be trademarked?
Are brands trademarked or copyrighted?
Can someone copyright my brand?
Is my brand already trademarked?
Is it better to copyright or trademark a logo?
Which is better trademark or copyright?
Do I have to trademark my logo?
How much do you have to change a logo to avoid copyright?
Can I trademark someone else's logo?
How do you know if a brand is trademarked?
Can you trademark a name already in use but not trademarked?
Do trademarks expire?
A trademark represents your brand or product. Names, logos, and slogans are common trademarks. A copyright, on the other hand, protects a work of authorship, including books, paintings, and even computer code.
You're only securing your rights to it since it is something you have created and it is your intellectual property. A trademark can protect your name and logo in case someone else wants to use them for their own purposes. Also, you cannot really copyright a name, since copyright protects artistic works.
You can search all applied-for and registered trademarks free of charge by using the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)'s Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS). If your mark includes a design element, you will have to search it by using a design code.
At the most basic level, a trademark protects logos and slogans while a copyright protects creative intellectual design. However, the copyright doesn't protect short phrases often found in a logo; that is protected by the trademark. This naturally begs the question why a company might need both in a logo design.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Why is fitness a status symbol?
Generally, copyrights protect creative or intellectual works, and trademarks apply to commercial names, phrases, and logos. Copyrights primarily protect the rights of people who create literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works (like history tests, and software code).
You should consider registering Trademarks to protect any features that you use to identify your brand. Many businesses register a number of Trademarks, for example, one to protect their brand name, another to protect their logo and another one to protect a tagline.
According to internet lore, if you change 30% of a copyrighted work, it is no longer infringement and you can use it however you want.
The United States trademark law as stated in the Lanham Act allows a non-owner of a registered trademark to make "fair use" of it without permission. … This means that using someone else's logo without permission, even if it's unregistered, is against the law.
Steps to Check for a Trademark
Log in to the official website of trademark registration in India: https://ipindiaonline.gov.in. Click on the trademarks tab and then click on public search. There are 3 search criteria available – Wordmark, Vienna code, and Phonetic.
If you're wondering, "can you trademark something that already exists," the simple answer is "no." Generally speaking, if somebody has used a trademark before you, you can't register the trademark for yourself.
IT IS IMPORTANT: How long does it take for your crew emblem to change in GTA 5?
How long does a trademark last in the US? In the United States, a federal trademark can potentially last forever, but it has to be renewed every ten years. If the mark is still being used between the 5th and the 6th year after it was registered, then the registration can be renewed.

Just Duet: A TikTok Trend For Tshirts
Posted by Michael Essany | Jan 21, 2022 | Niche and Keyword Research | 0 |
Duet videos are extremely popular across social media today but especially on TikTok.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, the team at Fanbytes explains it this way: "TikTok Duets basically allow users to create content featuring an initial video, with both videos appearing side by side on screen in a square format."
This means that people can effectively reply to video content with their own videos – which then can be shared publicly. When this is done well it can lead to some incredible results, such as Duet Chains and viral trends which take over the whole platform. You can make a duet with any TikTok from a brand, influencer, friend or even yourself."
Billions of views, likes, and shares have been directed at duet videos, which tend to perform best when they are funny, feature unique pairs, or fuse total opposite or natural matches together.
Merchers have overlooked this opportunity, especially with regard to popular niches and themes that could easily be leveraged to fit the duet motif. For instance, you could create or task your designer with creating:
Macaroni singing with cheese
An angel emoticon singing across from a devil emoticon
Peanut butter singing with jelly
You get the idea? Duet designs could also be as simple as a tshirt or product message that emphasizes how one is always doing duets, can't get any work or studying done because there's too many duets to do, or simple duet puns.

LG G5: What we want and expect from LG's 2016 flagship phone
By Chris Barraclough
We list the features that we're really hoping to see in the LG G5 when it launches in just under three weeks, including innovative design, fast charge, easy one-handed use and better optimisation.
When the LG G4 emerged in May 2015, this lovable leather-bound flagship mobile impressed us enough to earn the full five-star rating in our review. Of course, since then we've seen some truly fantastic new Android handsets emerge, including the Nexus 6P and Sony Xperia Z5, which offer features not found on the G4. And while LG's phone was a fantastic all-round experience, there is definitely room for improvement.
So, what does the LG G5 have to do to win another five-star review? Here's our full G5 wish list, ahead of the phone's launch later this month.
Innovation is good, but at what cost?
LG stood out from the crowds at the premium end of the smartphone market when it launched the original G Flex two years ago. This curved mobile, which could be ever-so-slightly bent without shattering the screen, was almost a precursor to the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, in that both phones boast innovative designs that are ultimately quite pointless.
Of course, we heard plenty of excuses for the curvy build, and it did actually help the phone to fit your palm more comfortably, considering how bloody large the Flex was. But in the end, the 'flex' part added very little to the overall experience. It was just bloody cool.
So, with LG promising even better flexible tech in the very near future, and even investing £600 million in a new South Korean display plant last year, can we expect to see a 'proper' bendy screen in the LG G5? Well, we certainly wouldn't be surprised to see an advancement of the G Flex tech shown off in LG's big flagship launch on February 21st, but we'd expect LG to reveal two new models of G5 if this is the case. A standard G5 and a flexible model, or perhaps even a G Flex 3.
And if we do see more innovative tech, we don't want to pay through the nose for it. LG's heavy investment in display manufacturing may mean increased prices, but we're hoping that the ability to mass-produce boundary-pushing displays will mean a standard market cost for the LG G5. After all, while we liked the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge a lot, we couldn't justify paying an extra hundred quid for those curved edges.
Read next: The five best LG phones you can buy right now
The LG G3 and G4 may have looked a little fragile, but our review handsets have impressively survived several tumbles to the floor in the months we've had them. That includes the G3 face-planting concrete from a drop of about four feet, which we were certain would kill it off. The plastic casing may have cracked a little, but the phone was still in perfect working order.
Motorola proved with the Moto X Force that rugged doesn't mean bulky and ugly, and we'd like the LG G5 to be just as tough, with a screen that's pretty much impossible to smash. Especially as the Sony Xperia Z5 turned out to be a lot more fragile than hoped. This would make the G5 one of the few flagships that appeals to outdoor enthusiasts, and give it another edge over the competition.
Leave the leather, ditch the plastic?
The LG G3 and G4 are decent looking devices, but we'd like to see the plastic ditched if at all possible, unless it's a key component of a super-rugged design. How about some metallic styling, like the Nexus 6P?
Of course, it all depends on whether LG wants the G5 to simply look good, or actually stand out from the rest of the MWC 2016 launch line-up. After all, the G4 certainly caused some heads to turn with its leathery backside, which gave it a unique look and feel. In fact, that textured surface meant that the G4 stuck to your palm better, which was particularly useful when trying to use it one-handed.
We doubt LG will stick with the leather, especially as it divided opinion amongst critics and consumers, but we'd like the G5 to bring another fresh new look and feel to the flagship range.
Read next: LG G4 vs Xperia Z5 vs Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6s vs Lumia 950
Satisfaction with just one hand
The G4 had a special one-handed mode for the keyboard and a shortcut to drag down the notifications tab, but we'd like to see a more intelligent solution to using the G5 with just one mitt, especially if it's another 5.5-inch beast. Something that's easy to activate on a whim, and which allows you to use all of your apps and the G5's main features without dislocating your thumb, would definitely be a winner.
Pop it out
In a world where almost every smartphone now comes with an embedded power cell, it's refreshing to see LG stick with a pop-off back and removable battery. Here's hoping the G5 retains this feature, even though you can now pick up some decent affordable portable chargers that aren't the size of a house brick. And if the G5 can go for two full days between charges, then all the better.
Fast and cable-free
Another battery-related feature we'd love to see is fast charge, so the G5 can soak up enough juice to keep it going for a few hours when we give it a panic power-up before leaving the house. And built-in wireless charging (without relying on the QuickCircle case) would also be good, although not essential – especially if Type-C USB is used.
Optimal optimisation
LG's big phones of 2015 (specifically the G4 and G Flex 2) were solid performers at the beginning, but a lack of proper optimisation meant that they soon got bogged down and showed signs of ageing after just a couple of months. The only solution was to constantly use a clean-up app or, when things got too frustrating, wipe the phone and start again.
It would be nice if the LG G5 stayed fresh and fast for the length of a UK contract (so basically two years), which would make the long-term experience a lot less frustrating.
Fingerprints and beyond
As much as we like LG's Knock Code feature, we'd really love to see a super-secure and nippy way of unlocking the G5 beyond Android's Trusted Places/Devices.
The obvious answer, one which most flagships now use and Android Marshmallow actively supports, is a fingerprint sensor. This would likely be housed on the back of the G5, just like the Nexus 5X's scanner, and will hopefully be just as quick and accurate.
Of course, LG could take another route like Windows Hello on the Lumia 950, which scans a user's eyeballs instead. When Windows Hello works, it works well. But this feature is still in beta and is unreliable as soon as you move into a dark environment, so there's still some progress to be made.
Bundle the Quick Circle Case and decent wireless headphones
A quick final request would be a bundled Quick Circle case with every G5. Sure, it's probably not going to happen, but the Quick Circle case really is a fantastic accessory which goes beyond the usual bog-standard covers. And if the G5 isn't a rugged beast like we hope, then this is a simple solution – although a case does of course cover up any sexy new design that LG dreams up.
We also love LG's Bluetooth headphones, so a pair of them in every box would go some way to swaying media lovers.
What would you personally like to see from the LG G5? Any essential features that would tempt you to upgrade? Let us know in the comments below.

22 Freaky Facts about The Rocky Horror Picture Show
by	Tilly M. Wadsworth Wednesday, October 12, 2016
Rocky Horror turns 41 this year and to celebrate, FOX is releasing a reinvented version, using the same script but creating its own unique visual style. The date for release is the 20th of October, just in time for Halloween (our full opinion of this is after the facts, so, if you've come for that just keep scrolling)!
We thought it was only fitting to do our very own RHPS inspired post, so, here's 22 facts about The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which you may not know!
When Frank pulls back the tablecloth to reveal the corpse of Eddie, the cast were not informed (only Tim), so their reactions of horror were real!
Richard O' Brien (Riff Raff) wrote it!
At the start of the movie, we see Brad and Janet posing for a photo at a church. In the background we see a Vicar and a Gothic American couple – this was actually Tim Curry (Frank), O' Brien and Patricia Quinn (Magenta).
The red triangle seen on Frank's doctor cape was actually used by the Nazis to point out a gay man, though this version of the triangle is flipped pointing upwards, a symbol for gay pride.
Tim Curry, Nell Campbell (Columbia) and Patricia Quinn played their characters in the original stage musical.
Susan Sarandon caught pneumonia after filming the pool scene – the set had no toilets or heating – though she refused to stop filming… bless her.
Props are often used in the live stage version/screening of the film.
Some of the things on the list are:
Rice to throw at the wedding
Newspapers to cover heads when Janet covers her own in the rain
Rubber Gloves to snap in sync with Frank's own snap.
Toast (preferably un-buttered) to throw when Frank exclaims 'a toast'.
See them all, here: http://www.rockyhorror.com/participation/proplist.php
It's the longest running theatrics film release of all time, starting in 1975 and still running!
Rocky was made by Frank, therefore had no need for an umbilical cord, so they made the model who played Rocky wear a plug in his belly button.
Meatloaf played Dr. Scott AND Eddie in the original musical. He claimed that the musical was better than the film due to him playing both roles!
Frank has a tattoo of some numbers on his right leg, 4711, which was actually a popular German cologne, and in certain shots you can clearly see it.
Mick Jagger expressed an interest in playing Frank. Luckily, they chose to stick to the original.
Mick Rock made a photography book/album around Rocky Horror, the book is fantastic and really gives the inside look at the behind the scenes moments, have a look here: https://www.amazon.com/Rocky-Horror-English-German-Edition/dp/3896026666
Frank N. Furter was originally German and blonde. Tim made a few changes to the character before he perfected the role, starting off German and blonde, then going American and finally English with German influences, Tim felt that Frank would talk like the Queen – which he certainly did.
Tim Curry was thrown out of a screening for being an impostor. He arrived without costume and due to his lack of fishnets and black curls was thrown out. When his identity was proved he still refused to go back in.
Tim cursed the role for typecasting him. Though he expressed how glad he was that he played Frank, he did feel that it almost doomed his future career as no one could seem to look past the stilettos. We disagree – as fantastic and iconic as his portrayal of Frank was, he has played other roles in films such as IT, the Devil in Legend, Annie, Home Alone 2, various voice roles such as Nigel Thornberry and releasing 4 albums, famously singing and writing Sloe Gin –covered by Joe Bonamassa.
The entire film was shot in 2 months.
The lips at the start of the film were Quinn's due to her not being allowed to sing the opening song, so a compromise was made.
There was a sequel! Shock Treatment loosely followed Rocky Horror, was also written by O' Brien and featured most of the cast apart from Tim Curry, which is possibly why it flopped publicly (though still has a cult following). Rik Mayall also starred.
A true sequel was written but never performed, the script references the planet Transsexual (mentioned in the film,) and goes by the story of aliens being on earth and walking amongst people, tightly clad with fishnet and leather.
Steve Martin auditioned for the part of Brad, but was beaten to the punch by Barry Bostwick for his time in Grease the musical.
It was Tim Curry's first role in film and second role ever, the first being in Hair.
There was some injuries on set but, for our entertainment, they were also included in the film, two big ones to be exact. Bostwick accidentally slaps Susan's hand as he hits the table in outrage in the dining room scene and Susan steps on his foot just after they emerge from the pool, we found the exact moment here (skip to 1:40 to see the moment we're talking about. Ouch!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ANA8HNzxBc
Why is Rocky Horror such a cult film? Well, it proved to the watcher you should never conform to society, you can be whoever you want to be, shouldn't be ashamed and most importantly: "Don't dream it, be it"!
It brings people together, breaks boundaries and is full of fantastic music! What more do we need in a film?!
Richard O' Brien, the writer and star, was and still is, a strong believer of not pushing a gender on anyone; especially not children and generally not caring about what people think or say. If you want to wear a corset, by god wear one… even if you happen to have chest hair.
Do you agree with the choice of casting and themes for the new version of RHPS? Laverne looks the part, yes! But if she too much of a woman for the part? The point of Rocky Horror is the shock factor. Frank, though feminine. had some masculine features about him too, he made us feel at home as he wasn't perfect, his makeup wasn't 'on point' his hair wasn't perfect, he had some cheesy tattoos and some tacky choices of jewellery; however, seeing him smiling ear to ear, proud and happy of wh o he was, made us love him even more.
The other actors include those previously famous due to children's TV and Adam Lambert as Eddie – who we're very happy with, someone who's not afraid to do the taboo.
Kenny Ortega as the choice of director… could be questioned. He previously worked on High School Musical 1, 2 and 3, as well as with Michael Jackson, who, was wacky and brilliant, so at least he's used to the wonderfully weird.
But, he worked on 80s' and 90s' classics such as St. Elmo's fire, Pretty in Pink and the Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus – that's more like it. We hope he doesn't cheese it up and cheapen it. RH needs the naughty side we love so.
No judgement as we haven't yet seen it… in a way, it's a good thing that they're changing it up. It's 2016 and if they had tried to copy the original it would have been pointless. You can't perfect something that's already timelessly perfect.
Tim Curry also features as the narrator, so at least we still have the heart and soul of the original.
What do you think? We suppose we'll have to see!

Very nice work $imon! Loving it man. And good luck to everyone else. Every bodies so far looks awesome.
Thats a nice start ncl.. I can see the head taking shape! just a note.. your model seems to be shading alright, maybe it would look a bit better if you try to keep the model to as many quads as possible. There are quite some triangles around the mouth at the moment. This can be fixed easily by cutting/merging some faces.
Re: Challenge #5: Wonderland! JABBERWOCKY!
Thanks $imon, Yeah pesky tris, lol. I was actually just converting them over as we speak. Good edge loops make for a supreme model! lol If I could have said that in a Asian philosophers voice on the forum that would have been awesome... Any way but I will be posting more when I get more done. But now I have to go work on a car. YAY!

The Spring flowers make their magnificent appearance around August and September in the West Coast National Park. The flowers cover the ground like a colourful carpet, pink, blue, white, yellow, purple, just about any colour you can think of. A Flower Tour on a sunny day in the West Coast National park is hard to beat! Views of the Langebaan Lagoon and the roaring Atlantic Ocean are stunning.
The Potsberg section of the park opens between August and September and this allows you to see a host of wild life as well as flowers. Some of the animals you may see are Zebra, Red Hartebeest, Steenbok, Gemsbok, Bontebok and Eland. I have seen Caracal and Cape Cobra (both from a safe distance!). There is a host of bird life, The African Oystercatcher (whose numbers are increasing thanks to various conservation interventions), Flamingos, Pelicans and Ostriches abound along with a plethora of smaller bird.
Lunch can either be had at the Geelbek Restaurant, which is close to the Bird Hide, or we can bring along a picnic which we can enjoy overlooking the Atlantic at Tsaarsbank where we may be lucky enough to spot a whale. Kraal Baai is also a great place on the Lagoon for a picnic, so bring along the bathing costumes and let's have a swim.
We could visit the West Coast Fossil Park which is a very fascinating place full of amazing fossils of many long gone animals which used to roam the West Coast area 5 million years ago. There are fossils of Short Necked Giraffes, Saber Toothed Cats, Bears and other animals that we are 'fresh out of' today.
Another option is a visit to !Kwa ttu, which is a good lunch alternative to Geelbeck and offers a fascinating look into the San (Bushmen) culture. You are taken on an open vehicle through the 850ha nature reserve with lovely views of the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain in the distance. You go for a nature walk and learn about the tracking techniques used by the San and how they used to store their water in Ostrich Shells. You will visit a replica of a traditional village and learn how they made their huts, tools and jewellery. You will be given an insight into the religion, healing techniques and culture, a very fascinating tour indeed!
Collection will be around 09h00, but we do it at your pace so times may vary according to your preference, the day is yours.
A 50% deposit via Visa or Master Card will secure the booking.
Cancellation between 30 and 8 days prior to the commencement of the tour there is a 50% penalty.
Cancellation between 7 and 0 days prior to the commencement of the tour there is a 100% penalty.


Police are appealed for help to trace a woman in Norwich.
Michelle Price, 35, is wanted on recall to prison for breaching the terms of her license.
Anyone who may have seen Ms Price or anyone who may know of her whereabouts is asked to contact Norfolk police on 101.

Kentucky Collaboration Promotes Patient Portal Usage
Help Spread the Word!:
Data-driven health care is the focus of Kentucky's Meaningful Use Workgroup, a committee of local health care organizations with a shared goal of supporting the statewide adoption of health information technology (HIT) across all care settings.
Formed in 2011, the Workgroup comprises the Department of Medicaid Services (DMS), the Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE), atom Alliance Quality Innovation Network (QIN)-Quality Improvement Organization (QIO), and three regional extension centers (REC), including Kentucky REC, Tri-State REC, and Northeast Kentucky Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO).
"We knew something needed to be done on a large scale," said Tammy Geltmaker, RN, Kentucky quality program director at Qsource, an atom Alliance partner.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program, also known as the Meaningful Use Program, defines three stages of progress in reaching meaningful use. In 2014, the Workgroup began to focus on Stage 2 milestones. At first, members specifically targeted HIT and meaningful use. However, topics eventually expanded to include patient and family engagement, improving care transitions and the adoption of an online patient portal.
"Stage 1 was about getting data into a structured format," said Margie Banse, quality data reporting manager at Qsource. "In Stage 2, we're focused on challenges we're facing. We've had to branch out and explore other topics related to the different work these organizations are doing."
According to CMS, a provider must install a patient portal to meet the core measures of Stage 2 of meaningful use. Through the portal, patients can electronically schedule appointments, view lab results, receive reminders and exchange emails with their doctor. At least five percent of patients must be engaged with the portal for a practice to successfully meet this milestone. However, gaining patient buy-in has been a challenge for many providers.
Because of this, the Workgroup's most recent efforts include identifying and resolving barriers to patients' engagement with HIT, which, in turn, will improve care transitions.
"We're finding it's a generational thing, but access is also a challenge," Banse said. "For people who didn't grow up in the computer age, it's a struggle, and for people in rural communities, lack of access to high-speed Internet can be a barrier. So, it's really about empowerment and supporting communication among patients, providers and health care settings."
Recent Medicaid expansions mean that more providers will be pursuing EHR incentives, and more patients will be eligible for Medicaid services. By improving the quality of care through meaningful use, HIT could be vital to helping reduce health disparities among lower-income populations.
"The Workgroup's success is rooted in the unique strengths each organization contributes. Each entity at the table has benefitted from someone else sitting there," Banse said. "We are stronger and carry a lighter load if we work together."
She noted how the Workgroup's collaboration has made their jobs easier and helped the providers they work with.
"The biggest benefit is being aware of what each organization is working on," Banse said. "It makes our QIN-QIO more efficient as an organization and helps us deliver better customer service to the practices we serve."
Geltmaker credits the Workgroup with evolving its efforts in an impactful way, despite ongoing changes each organization faces.
"QIOs are in a new performance period. RECs are in a different phase of funding," she said. "But these organizations consistently find a way to make this Workgroup meaningful and sustainable. Together, we will continue to accomplish more."

Lovely setting in an old bastide kind of place, love the decoration, in summer seating is outside . A good choice of dishes and dessert as well as pizza from the oven. Friendly local,staff .
Nice dinner with grilled meat. Hamburger very good but filet with wire not acceptable. Service good and price not so high.
Nice food, regional food and pizzas. I recommend " alouette sans tête" with the homemade mash potatoes; you'll enjoy it and hardly find a better one.

Expense is a type of cost that has been expired and incurred to generate revenues, it is presented in profit and loss statement of a company. For example, electricity charges, payroll and raw material consumed etc.
Expenditure is a payment, made for the purchase of an asset or for reduction of a liability. For example, a payment of $500 to the company's creditor will be considered as the expenditure.
To clarify the difference between an expense and an expenditure, a hypothetical example is being discussed here, where an XY Company incurred the expenditure by purchasing textile related printing machinery for $ 2000, the machinery will be intended to print 2500 meter cloth. Assuming the machine's useful life is 8 years, under the straight-line method of depreciation, the depreciation expense per year will be ($2,000/8) $250.
Meaning It is a type of cost that expires/ uses to generate revenues. It is a payment/ disbursement for a purchase of an asset or for settlement of a liability.
Examples Salary paid, building rent and transportation cost of inventory etc. Payment to purchase new land for business or settlement of long-term loans etc.


Electrical injuries are estimated to cause approximately 500 to 1,000 deaths per year in the U.S. They are responsible for 3-5% of all burn unit admissions and represent the fourth leading cause of work-related traumatic death, accounting for 5-6% of all workers' deaths.
Contact with overhead power lines. The accidental touching of an object, such as an aerial bucket or ladder, with overhead lines causes 44 percent of all on-the-job electrocutions.
Contact with wiring, transformers or other electrical components.
Contact with electric current of a machine, tool, appliance or light fixture.
Other causes of electrocution are contact with buried power lines and being struck by lightning.
Not all injuries arising from electrical contact are fatal, but they can be severe with long-lasting consequences for the worker and his or her family.
Who is at Risk of Electrical Injury?
While any worker who comes into contact with electricity, tools or machinery may be at risk of suffering an electrical burn, construction workers accounted for 52% of electrical fatalities from 2003 to 2010. Other industries in which fatal electrical accidents were noted during this time period included transportation, utilities, mining, and manufacturing.
Flame burns, occuring when the electrical arc or flash ignites clothing or other materials.
Serious electrical accidents can cause cardiac arrhythmia and respiratory arrest. They can cause injuries requiring repeated removal of the damaged tissue, including amputation. There can be lingering neurological complications such as seizures and peripheral nerve damage. Victims may be left with impaired balance and coordination and require extensive rehabilitation.
Workers who have been in electrical accidents often suffer psychological impairment and show the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. They may have difficulty with attention, concentration and memory and struggle to process information.
If you or a family member has been injured in a Maryland or D.C. workplace electrical accident, or if you suffered the loss of a loved one who was electrocuted, call Steve Heisler, The Injury Lawyer. Steve will not only handle your workers' compensation claim arising from your injury, but can also make a negligence claim against any potential third party defendants (sub-contractors, premise owners, etc.). Let Steve shoulder the burden of planning for your family's financial security following your electrical injury by calling (410) 625-4878 or filling out our website inquiry form.


We're wrapping up work in progress week today! I will admit that I conceived 2 new quilt ideas this weekend… but they're not technically in progress yet so I think I can wait a bit to share them here. Tomorrow I'm going to debut my hide-the-basting-stitches EPP tutorial! Stay tuned it's going to be exciting.
Today we're taking a break from our regularly scheduled complete obsession with quilts to share a few non-quilt projects. One great thing about quilting is that it teaches general sewing skills. I honestly could barely thread my machine before I made my 1st quilt. By the time I was done with my 2nd quilt, I was much more comfortable with sewing in general. I also learned hand sewing from binding my quilts and that is another valuable tool. I have used those skills to make every curtain and decorative pillow in my house, not to mention 10 or 15 quilts (I really should count sometime).
I think sewing is a really useful skill and I hope to get more people excited about it!
Now of course I take every gift opportunity and turn it into a sewing opportunity! My church put on a casual baby shower for 2 friends of mine who recently had their 2nd and 4th babies. They asked for diapers and wipes but of course I'm a rebel so I sewed something cute instead.
I decorated these little onesies using a combination of english paper piecing (EPP) and machine appliqué.
I also made these name buntings to hang behind the gift tables. I think these will be really fun hung in their nurseries or saved for future birthday parties.
Linking with My Quilt Infatuation for Needle & Thread Thursday!
