PHILLIP Schofield has left This Morning viewers in stitches after mistakenly calling Sir Bradley Wiggins "Sir Bradley Walsh" during an intense interview.
The TV presenter was chatting to retired Olympic athlete Roger Black and journalist David Walsh about the British cyclist - who has been accused of doping - when he accidentally got his name mixed up with cheeky The Chase host Bradley Walsh.
"Can we get to the bottom of this? Will we be able to exonerate Sir Bradley Walsh?" he asked passionately.
While Phillip seemed completely unaware he had made the blunder, viewers instantly picked up on the gaffe.
"ThisMorning so funny when Schofe called Bradley Wiggins sir Bradley Walsh by mistake. Wonder what #bradleywalsh thinks of that. #wrongbradley," one viewer laughed.
"Well if he is a cheat then Bradley Walsh is my candidate to take his knighthood #ThisMorning," another joked.
"Err Philip!!! Bradley Walsh???? Its Wiggins #ThisMorning," chimed a further shocked viewer.
Realising his error after an ad break, Phillip quickly apologised for the mix-up, quipping: "Sorry, I think I mixed up Sir Bradley Wiggins and Bradley Walsh earlier," as co-host Holly Willoughby laughed next to him.
Referencing Bradley Walsh's decision to hijack the This Morning team's acceptance speech at the National Television Awards in January, he added: "That's payback for the National Television Awards."
The awkward gaffe happened as Phillip chatted to expert guests Roger and David about whether or not Sir Bradley was an innocent man after a bombshell report by MPs said the Tour de France winner and Team Sky "crossed an ethical line" by using asthma drugs to enhance his performance.
Sir Bradley has vehemently denied the allegations, telling the BBC: "Not at any time in my career did we cross the ethical line. I refute that 100%. This is malicious, this is someone trying to smear me."
Team Sky are accused of using the 37-year-old Olympic and Tour de France hero's medical condition as a cover.
The first Brit to win the Tour de France added: "[Cycling] is the most scrutinised sport in the world. I can't control what people are going to think but for some people, whatever you do it is not going to be enough.
"I just don't know any more in this sport - you are damned if you do, damned if you don't."


Today's photo challenge letter is "L" so I decided to photograph our welcome mat.

2019 Jaguar F-Type – Automotive Review
This quintessential Jaguar all aluminum sports car, comes in so many variations, there is something for almost everyone
Overview/Summary
From a turbocharged 4-cylinder kitty, to a roaring 575hp SVR lion, the Jaguar F-Type is the classic sportscar you expect from Jaguar. With a long history of sexy coupes and convertibles the F-type easily picks up the pouncing cat logo and runs with it. We got the chance to drive multiple different models in different configurations, and each one completely satisfied that sportscar itch. Getting behind the wheel of the F-Type SVR, kicking it in sport mode and dropping the top I was grinning from ear to ear; with each eye widening roar from under every overpass on Hwy 1 back from Vancouver… Don't even get me started on the sound it made in the tunnel
(+) – Available in so many different options, there is a F-Type for everyone
(-) – Classic 2-seater sportscar, don't expect to have many guests
Only real new thing in the 2019 is the Touch Pro infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen.
Comparisons (F-Type SVR – CAD 143,500.00 As Tested)
2019 Porshe 911 Carrera – $111,000 – 4.2s 0 – 100 km/h
2019 Mercedes SL 550 Roadster – $128,900 – 4.3 sec 0-100 km/h
2019 Aston Martin Vantage – £123,850.00 – 3.6 sec 0-100 km/h
The Jaguar F-Type was a really fun car to drive around town. It was low to the ground and had a tight glove like sports car type feel, but when you want that, this jag is what you are looking for. Sure, it's maybe not an economic friendly daily drive, but that is not what this car wants to be. The F-Type wants to be both seen and heard, and when you are behind the wheel, that is completely okay.

2019 Mazda3 – Automotive Review
Vince Sandhu
"Despite sharing the same Mazda3 model name, the two forms represent entirely different personalities". The completely new design of these vehicles is on the border of drastic and subtle, you could almost call it perfect
Mazda graciously lent me the all-new Mazda 3 Sport AWD in a beautiful Polymetal Grey Metallic paint. I fell in love with this car as soon as I laid eyes on it and I was not disappointed after driving it. It was comfortable, quiet, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing. It ticks just about every box when it comes to sporty hatchbacks. It's fun, its AWD, it's nimble, and the price isn't outrageous. During my "Month of Mazda" test driving the CX-9, MX-5, 3 Sport, and 6 Signature, the 3 gets the top spot in my books and my heart. There's a reason the Mazda 3 has been Mazda's best-selling car since 2003, and this year's model shows you why.
When coming across a 2019 Mazda 3 in the wild, you will look twice. The new design is on the border of drastic and subtle. You could almost say perfect, almost. The 3 has a new aggressive face and a round and sporty looking back end. The hashmark grill sits well between 2 narrow and long LED headlights while the shiny and large Mazda emblem sits dead-center and also doubles as the front-view camera when parking. The taillights are a gem to stare at, and they help the 3 give it it's the wide-body look. The model I had the honor to test had the 18" alloy rims finished in black which went exceptionally well with the Polymetal gray body color. The 2019 Mazda3 finally adopts the all-new Kodo design. The Japanese styling is on point and not in your face about it at the same time. There aren't any swooping, sharp body lines as you usually see these days on sporty cars, but the silhouette of the 3 is what definitively separates itself from the pack — nothing else in its class like it.
When hopping inside, the sleek styling continues. The Mazda3 seemed to be the only vehicle of Mazda's 2019 line-up to have the slightly upgraded and tweaked interior. This interior is with the times and well thought out while the other models were a tad dated and a little annoying. In the Mazda6 Signature, the armrest was set a little too far back for your arm to sit comfortably. The CX-9s infotainment system was the previous version, and the cameras were low resolution and tough to use. This was not the case in the Mazda3, as Mazda clearly saw these flaws and gave the driver a clear, almost 4k like back-up camera, and an adjustable center armrest with plenty of cargo space. The red leather accents throughout the dash and door panels, color matching the seats, set a very luxurious and high-end feel. The infotainment is clean, modern, and user-friendly. Android Autoplay and Apple CarPlay work fine, but I found myself using Mazda's software as it just looked more natural to the inside of the car. Digital tachometer doesn't look digital at all and is wildly smooth. The quietness of the cabin is one of the first things I noticed when driving. It is quiet. Scary quiet. The cabin was designed with a "double insulated" structure. Engine noise and road noise are reduced immensely. Being 6'1", I didn't feel cramped, and visibility was ample. As for the back seats, don't expect your taller passengers not to complain when squeezed back there.
Out of the two engines offered for the 3, 2.0L and 2.5L, I was given the 2.5L. 186hp and 186 ft/lbs of torque powering all four wheels with the i-ACTIV AWD. Seven seconds after the light turns green you can be at 60mph, and for a bit of added fun, you can give the paddle shifters a flick, or 6. It's a hair faster than its competition, the Honda Civic Touring, which comes with a 1.5L turbocharged engine. As fun as a turbo is in most cars, its fastened to a snooze-fest of a CVT engine. I can go on for hours about how annoying the CVT engine is, but I won't, today. The Mazda 3 after 4000rpm sounds nice, and maybe after a few minor upgrades, it can sound great on the daily. The G-Vectoring Control Plus, MacPherson struts, and a newly developed torsion bar in the rear keep the Mazda 3 planted and in control when cornering hard; it's quite impressive. It gives the driver plenty of control regardless of the circumstance. The safety features seem endless. With a plethora of acronyms on the invoice, just know you will be safe out there. Lane-keep assist, Auto breaking at low speeds, Rear Cross-traffic sensors, Driver fatigue warning, Windshield active driving display, and the list goes on.
For my money, there isn't a car that will make you feel special like the Mazda 3 will in this class and for this price point. You'll forget you're sitting in a Mazda. The only thing I could muster up to criticize is the lack of excitement. It holds itself together well. No loud noises. No aggressive and darty steering. The engine has some "pick-up-and-go" but nothing surprising. A turbo would be nice to get the juices flowing. Other than that, the 3 is an exceptional car for Mazda. It shows the progression Mazda is making, and it's setting a new standard for this, and other classes. Here's to hoping the competition sees the progress and steps up their game, because currently, Mazda's getting my money.

2019 Mercedes AMG C 43 Wagon – Automotive Review
Jared Syrenne
A Canadian treat, the 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC, is an unexpected solution for those who are looking for the space and room provided by an SUV but want the feel and performance of a sporty car
Honestly, at first, I was a little hesitant while picking up this car. It brought back memories of my Dad's ugly old Ford Taurus; the backward-facing bench seat allowed my brother and myself to make faces at the vehicles behind us. However, that hesitant feeling vanished because the 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC looks nothing like that old car. Mercedes-AMG as always has produced a very sleek and sophisticated vehicle, from the sweeping exterior lines to the premium look and feel of the interior.
After packing all the gear required for a weekend away at the lake, I was then entirely sold on the idea of a wagon. Unlike many of the smaller SUV's and Crossover's we've tested lately, everything just seemed to fit, and when taking an eight month old little girl camping… I mean everything. While it may have been packed full everyone still was comfortable on the long trip out to Port Alberni from the mainland.
It wasn't only the space that had me sold; it was the drive. Just like it's smaller brother the C43 sedan, the vehicle was just a pleasure to drive. The snapping and crackling exhaust notes found in the Sport+, mode could always put a smile on my face. With AMG tuning the 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo engine to have a whopping 385hp, the wagon can shoot down the road with almost criminal ease. While the 69% rear axle torque bias, and low center of gravity, kept that classic racecar feel. Keep in mind depending on the era, the muscle available in the 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 could easily have been in an actual race car. As for the first time in 1986, AMG implanted the 5.0-liter V8 into an E-class coupe, which received worldwide fame under the nickname "The Hammer." As per this 1986 Car and Driver review,
"The Hammer we tested leaped from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds flat. It hurtled through the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds at 107 mph. And it pounded down a long, flat straightaway to a top speed of 178 mph. Like the Corvette, the 911 Turbo, the Testarossa, and the Countach, the Hammer covers ground so quickly that you swear you can feel the earth's curvature racing to meet you."
Boy, it sure is crazy to see how far things have come… With a starting MSRP of $59,990 CND, this wagon available exclusively in Canada, while still expensive, when you compare it to the rest of Mercedes lineup or a luxury SUV it is actually quite reasonable.
(+) – Really fun and responsive to drive, but still has room for the whole family
(-) – In Sport/Sport+ mode, sometimes when accelerating hard from a stop and then easing off of the gas can cause the computer to shift like a 16-year-old learning a manual transmission for the first time
Exclusive to Canada in the North American Market

2019 BMW M850i – Video Review
A pinnacle of BMW styling, power, and technology. Truly worthy to wear the 8 Series badge.
While it has come a long way since its very first introduction in 1989, the BMW M850i remains one of those cars made only for the affluent. It is smaller in length than the 7 series and even the 6 series. However, the 8-series BMW styling can only be directly compared with the Gran Coupe. Sculpting in the double-bubble style racing roof, with a gaping air intake in the frontend and subtle swivels in the hood, the BMW M850i provides a design unlike any other in the BMW line-up.
In terms of performance, the M850i has shed the V12 -engine option from 1989 and replaced it with its twin-turbocharged and intercooled dual overhead cam 32-valve V-8 engine. This is propelling the driver to 100km/h from a standstill in 3.7 seconds thanks to its launch-control program, 523 horsepower, and 553 lb-ft of torque. Controlling that power the M850i series is the equipped adaptive steering control, and awd control. The technology seamlessly displaces power to each of the four wheels as needed in order to maintain control through corners, and launch off a standstill. During testing, this car experienced less than ideal weather conditions, and surprisingly, the M850i felt solid on every type of puddle, corner, and bump. To top it off, the counterbalanced wheels with 245/35R-20s up front and 275/30R-20s out back improves its handling.
The BMW M850i starts at $124 000, but given all the optional packages including executive package which includes a crystal gear shift, professional driver assistance, and optional carbon-fiber roof the price quickly climbs to $136 860. Buyers are going to have to consider spending the extra dollars to climb from a 6 series to 8 series for more-or-less prestige status. In any regard, the BMW M850i was a pleasure to drive, for a more in-depth analysis, please check out our video review:
Starts at $124 000
Engine: twin-turbocharged and inter-cooled DOHC 32-valve V-8, aluminum block, and heads, direct fuel injection producing 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft
Transmission: 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting mode

Guaranteed original; c. 1950s. produced badge.
These plaque badges measure about 56mm X 41mm. Each are hallmarked silver and have each been hand enameled. They were issued by the RAF Museum as collectable souvenirs for veterans and collectors alike back in the 1950s and are now very hard to come by. These are the larger plaques as opposed to the lapel badges and so were issued WITHOUT REAR FIXINGS. A very nice RAF Squadron souvenir.

Back to Run=Dim, I find that it tries too hard to be Gundam. Notice that even the word RUNDIM and GUNDAM is like only 2 letters differences... The enemy mech using green like Zaku and 2 fractions, one in space, one on Earth is just too much of a copycat. I am more of the Old Gundam fan so I believe in the New Type and all the tragedy. I even wrote a Gundam fan story named Gundam : Mobile Dark Revelation. Well, I did not finished it all the way to the final showdown between Gundam Archangel and Gundam Lucifer, but enough people had died along the way to make it. This is what is lacking here... Nobody important really dies until the last episode and those who it were like we saw it coming all along.
In terms of story, I would say its ok, but not original. The 3D is ok, but it doesn't beat animation anyday. The characters are hard to like though. The romance never really take place. The friendship never really had a chance either.
Well, at least I want to say something good. That's the ending theme, Heavens Knows. Its Japanese (phew) and its pretty cool beat.

"A dark, crooked beauty that fulfills all the promise of White Oleander and confirms that Janet Fitch is an artist of the very highest order." --Los Angeles Times Book Review Josie Tyrell, art model, runaway, and denizen of LA's rock scene finds a chance at real love with Michael Faraday, a Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist. But when she receives a call from the coroner, asking her to identify her lover's body, her bright dreams all turn to black. As Josie struggles to understand Michael's death and to hold onto the world they shared, she is both attracted to and repelled by his pianist mother, Meredith, who blames Josie for her son's torment. Soon the two women are drawn into a twisted relationship that reflects equal parts distrust and blind need. With the luxurious prose and fever pitch intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch weaves a spellbinding tale of love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence. "Lushly written, dramatically plotted. . . Fitch's Los Angeles is so real it breathes." --Atlantic Monthly "There is nothing less than a stellar sentence in this novel. Fitch's emotional honesty recalls the work of Joyce Carol Oates, her strychnine sentences the prose of Paula Fox." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "A page-turning psychodrama. . . . Fitch's prose penetrates the inner lives of [her characters] with immediacy and bite." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Fitch wonderfully captures the abrasive appeal of punk music, the bohemian, sometimes squalid lifestyle, the performers, the drugs, the alienation. This is crackling fresh stuff you don't read every day." --USA Today "In dysfunctional family narratives, Fitch is to fiction what Eugene O'Neill is to drama." --Chicago Sun-Times "Riveting. . . . An uncommonly accomplished page-turner." --Elle

Innovators go green in business school CleanTech Challenge
Cutting-edge green innovators will compete in London Business School's CleanTech Challenge to design environmentally friendly products and services.
Competition entries for round one close on 26 January and the innovators shortlisted will then compete for a £10,000 prize. Innovators thinking of starting a green company and looking for advice, mentoring and networking opportunities are encouraged to apply.
Jeff Skinner, Executive Director, Deloitte Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and co-founder of the CleanTech Challenge said: "We created the CleanTech Challenge to bring together top business and engineering talent in a field ripe for innovation. The challenge gives students with promising early stage ideas the opportunity to be challenged and to work their ideas up into viable ventures. They will build teams and receive feedback throughout the process.
"When the competition first launched it immediately caught the imagination of the students and we're delighted with how the CleanTech Challenge has evolved."
Set up in 2009 by London Business School and University College London, the CleanTech Challenge brings together business and engineering students to engender new ideas for businesses, products and services that have a positive environmental impact.
Past winners have included MBA, PhD and Masters students from institutions all over the world. Successful ideas have included solar-powered bicycle networks, an aerosol control technology that reduces particulate emissions and wind turbines specially designed for low-speed winds.
Last year's winner was the Power Window project, led by a team of students from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, who developed their idea for coated windows that produce clean electricity. Read more about Power Window here.

News of a child dying in a hot car is absolutely heartbreaking. Even worse is the thought that these deaths could of been prevented if someone had taken action. Much discussion around preventing child deaths in hot cars has involved which action adults should take. But what about the children themselves. A conversation with your child could save their life and those of another child.
Ford Motor Company partnered with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to share information about heatstroke . In addition to the information we're sharing tips and talking points to use when talking to your child.
Last yer, 44 U.S. children lost their lives after being left unattended in a motor vehicle.
More than half (52%) of kids who died from vehicular heatstroke were "forgotten" by their caregiver.
When the temperature outside is 90 degrees, the temperature inside a parked car can rise up to 109 degrees in 10 minutes, 119 degrees in 20 minutes and 124 degrees in 30 minutes.
Make sure the safety seat and belt buckles aren't too hot before securing a child in a restraint system.
Don't ever leave sleeping infants in the car.
Lock your car when you're not in it so kids can't climb in on their own.
Children should never be left alone in a parked car, even if the windows are open. Don't let anyone leave you in a parked car and be sure to speak up if someone is leaving you.
Tell someone if your safety belt buckles are hot.
Don't ever climb into a parked car.
If you see a child or baby in a parked car, tell an adult immediately.
Be sure when you are having a conversation with your child to talk to them at their level. Older tweens and teens can be instructed to dial 911 and in some states they can break the car window to get the child out immediately. The most important thing to teach your child is to speak up – speak up if they are being left in a car and speak up if they see a child left in a car.
Let's prevent child deaths from heatstroke together!

Purpose: To transform lives by making church matter, building disciples and seeking and saving the lost in our community.
Thank you for your interest in Confirmation at Saint Patrick Parish. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to help guide your child as they journey into adulthood in the Catholic Faith. You have provided your child with an example of living out the Catholic Faith. Now it is your child's turn to learn to walk with Jesus on their own. We look forward to partnering with you during this transition as we help each student develop a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ.
"Confirmation is a journey; a part of your walk with Christ. Our purpose at St. Patrick Parish is to assist our youth in developing a transformational relationship with Jesus. We are here to walk with each other, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to seek a transformational experience that will hopefully lead to a well-balanced life. St. Patrick Parish wants to provide opportunities that give each of us the motivation that is needed to better understand the purpose of our lives. Being in relationship with each other will help us be accountable in seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ ."
St. Patrick's Vision for religious education has progressed over this past year (in particularly with the Jr. High) and will continue to grow in alignment with the parish's purpose, which is to have an awesome experience every weekend, raise up leaders and to provide an opportunity to those who have not had a personal encounter with Jesus or to grow deeper in their relationship with Him.
Working as a team During the last few months, with much prayer, a leadership team was formed and has been meeting regularly to discuss exciting and innovative ways to engage the students, by looking through a lens into their world and how this all connects to a relationship with Jesus.
Session offered Junior high continued formation classes will be known as Coming Together Nights (CTNights). These nights will be offered weekly on Sunday evenings from 6:30 – 8:00pm.
Our kick off for the CTNights will take place on September 24 th at our Feed the Flock Fest. Please look for upcoming details.
St. Patrick Parish religious education guidelines have evolved to interweave with the parish's purpose statement: To transform lives by making Church matter, building disciples, and seeking and saving the lost in our community.
A student, of their own accord, is expected to request Confirmation.
If you are new to the parish, please contact Director of Religious Education, Michele Gonzales, at 630-553-6671 x 23.


Life isn't perfect or fair in any way, especially if you're competing for your online market share. SEO isn't a perfect science, only available to an exclusive set of business owners. To be perfectly blunt, I get tired of reading about the "perfect SEO solution", how "perfect" life is and the plethora of positivity quotes flung around on social networks.Then theres' The curse of perfectionism in branding. What about brands – do they always have to be perfect? Well, I feel the same way about brands. Often, if not always, picking the perfect words, perfect image, perfect blog – everyone tries to – is futile.
What does brand have to do with SEO? Hear me out. Consumers have more of an opportunity today than ever before to become businesses. Not only can they create their own runaway brand, but some even strike it rich as well– IF it's the right brand at the right time. How are they doing this? They sell themselves, their product and their services online, driven to visibility through SEO.
Now, seldom does a brand reach the point of "personality" and real person. A few examples include Jacqueline Smith and Martha Stuart – the brand is synonymous with the person. However, the more we associate a brand with human components, the stronger that brand typically.
How does a brand show humanity? I can't think of a better example than when you call a customer service center. Most of the time, you can't tell if a human or a machine has answered the call. Occasionally, however, you get those warm, genuine people who really want to help. They take the time to listen; you can tell they sympathize and are happy to help you solve the issue.
You hang up the phone feeling the brand cares about you. Not Jamal, Amy, Steve, Karen or whoever answered the phone, but the brand. Because, after all, the brand cares enough to hire real, helpful, friendly people, right?
Online, you have the opportunity to express your personality through words, which then reflect the human factor back to your brand. You create your overall brand in the keywords you choose, the copy you write and the style with which you write. In short, you solidify your brand with words.
Back to perfectionism and the perfect brand. Here's the problem as I see it. If your brand is human and not a mindless corporation… well, humans make mistakes. You can't be an automaton and still be human. While I don't mean make intentional errors, I do mean that your behavior should be realistic. A brand perceived to be "perfect" (corporate black suits, huge logos, glass skyscrapers) is a brand distanced from their consumers.
As well, the more perfect your brand seems, the more perfect consumers expect you to be. Think of the disdain you feel when you read in the news that some large corporation has made a mistake. Why do you feel that disdain? Think about it.
Before you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and try to come up with the perfect words for the perfect campaign and the perfect brand image, discuss your ideas with a professional. Whatever you come up with, you have to be able to maintain what you build. Even if you could build perfection, could you maintain it?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Dev Acknowledges That the Game Had Too Many Bugs at Launch
Home » Kingdom Come: Deliverance Dev Acknowledges That the Game Had Too Many Bugs at Launch
by PlayStation Lifestyle | 0 Comments | July 13, 2019
PlayStation Lifestyle –
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Community Manager, Christian Piontek, has acknowledged in a Reddit ask-me-anything session that the game suffered from a number of bugs at launch and that Warhorse Studios miscalculated their impact.
In response to a fan who asked what the studio thinks was its "biggest mistake," Piontek said:
To be humble and honest here, our biggest mistake was probably to not plan enough time into the game for bug fixing in the beginning, while believing that the output of our development would be good enough in the first attempts. But Kingdom Come: Deliverance came out as a very complex game, and at the release there were more bugs in the game than expected. It took us a lot of work to fix them with patches, and right now, we are still working on a patch because we want to fix as many bugs as possible. Now we are at a point, where we are quite happy with the game. That's why we came up with the Royal Edition. But this was a hard lesson for us, and for future projects, we need to keep in mind how important bug fixes are.
Despite being marred by bugs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance's original release has sold over two million copies, making Warhorse Studios' debut project a success. A Royal Edition released back in May, and included an "enhanced version" of the game along with all of its additional content.
In February 2019, Warhorse Studios and its IP was acquired by THQ Nordic's subsidiary, Koch Media.

She knew, how much I am in love with cartoons and she played the trick. As soon as I watch Popeye beat the hell out of Bluto after eating spinach, I was fascinated by the power, the thrill it gets. I asked for more spinach in my dinner, my lunch and in my breakfast. My mom was a happy mom and I feel like a Popeye. On my 16th birthday, my mom promised me to make something special, something which I crave for ages, which is entirely true. She made me 'Palak-Paneer', she knew I was fond of Paneer and like a cherry on the top she fused it with my the then favorite Spinach.
Palak becomes yummier with the addition of paneer to it Some cheese and fresh cream topping makes it richy rich Forget your weight gaining sins and freak out with this delicacy.
First you have to chop palak finely and cook it along with moong daal in the cooker along with some water to it. Meanwhile you can chop onions and tomatoes roughly and peel garlic. Now heat 1 tblsp of oil in a pan and add garlic, chopped onions and tomatoes and fry for few minutes. Allow it to cool and grind it along with the cooked dhall and palak.
Take a few tsps of oil in a shallow pan and temper cumin seeds. Fry slit chillies and finely cut onions just for a minute. Add dhania powder and fry for a second, then pour ground mixture with enough chilly powder, garam masala, aam chur powder,salt and sugar. Add enough water to make gravy. Allow it to boil in a medium flame, stirring now and then. When the gravy turns thick enough, gently mix in the fresh paneer cubes.
Remove from fire and pour it into a baking dish and sprinkle the grated cheese on top and microwave for two minutes till the cheese melts.
Serve garnished with fresh cream on top.

Myanmar military shuts down internet as thousands protest against coup
By Froilan Malit on February 7, 2021 Asia News, News
A nationwide internet blackout has been imposed to stifle dissent in Myanmar as thousands of people took to the streets on Saturday in the first major demonstration since the military seized power.
The internet shutdown was a measure implemented by the military to stop the protests. NetBlocks Internet Observatory reported that connectivity had fallen to 16% of ordinary levels by early afternoon.
The shutdown happened hours after the military blocked access to Twitter and Instagram to stop people mobilising for protests. Facebook had been banned a day earlier.
Many users evaded the restrictions on social media by using virtual private networks (VPNs) but the more general blackout has also severely disrupted this.
Despite the internet blackout, several thousand demonstrators gathered in the former capital, Yangon, with crowds chanting "Military dictator, fail, fail; Democracy, win, win".
Civil society organisations urged internet providers and mobile networks to challenge the blackout order, Reuters news agency reported.
Human rights group Amnesty International called the shutdown "heinous and reckless" and warned it could put the people of Myanmar at risk of human rights violations.
On Saturday morning, protesters – including factory workers and young students – called for the release of those detained by the army, including elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
They marched through the streets of Yangon as city buses sounded their horns in support.
Bystanders flashed the three-finger Hunger Games salute, which has become a symbol of defiance against authoritarianism, while residents clapped or banged pots and pans on their doorsteps.
Many households have also been displaying red stickers in their windows in support of Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party, the BBC's Burmese editor Soe Win Than reports.
Police with riot shields used barbed wire to block roads and water cannon were put in place in some areas as a precaution, but the demonstration reportedly remained peaceful, with no attempt by protesters to pass police lines.
Demonstrators gave police roses and bottles of drinking water, calling on them to support the people not the new regime.
One female protester, who asked not to be named, said she would not accept the "unjust seizing of power".
"Because of military dictatorship, many of our lives have been destroyed," she said, adding: "We cannot allow our future generations to meet the same fate."
Another demonstration took place on Saturday in Myanmar's second city, Mandalay.
Myanmar has remained mostly calm in the aftermath of the coup, and there were no immediate reports of violence after Saturday's protests. More demonstrations were expected to be held later.
The military authorities are hunkered down in the capital, Nay Pyi Daw, and have so far avoided direct engagement with the protesters.
Ms Suu Kyi is under house arrest, according to her lawyer. Police documents show she is accused of illegally importing and using communications equipment – walkie-talkies – at her home in the capital.
The coup took place as a new session of parliament was set to open, following November's landslide election win by the NLD party.
Many Burmese watched the events unfold in real time on Facebook, which is the country's primary source of information and news. But three days later, internet providers were ordered to block the platform for stability reasons.
Following the ban, thousands of users were active on Twitter and Instagram using hashtags to express their opposition to the takeover. By 22:00 local time (15:30 GMT) on Friday access to those platforms had also been denied.
There was no official word from the coup leaders but AFP reported it had seen an unverified ministry document that said the two social media sites were being used to "cause misunderstanding among the public".
A spokeswoman for Twitter said the ban undermined "the public conversation and the rights of people to make their voices heard". Facebook, which owns Instagram, called on the authorities to "restore connectivity". (Source: BBC)

What do I have to do to set up xen in Karmic Koala? I have already installed the Ubuntu-xen-desktop package, but I do not locate a kernel suitable for.
I have a problem with Karmic Koala. I installed awn, but when I activate it, it does not work!
compiz on the command line. When I typed that, compiz reported that no suitable xorg file was found, no Xgl support and that it is defaulting to the metacity window manager.
It turns out that for my ACER 4520 laptop with Nvidia 7000 card, I have to install hardware acceleration drivers for an Nvidia 7000 card, so that there will be support for Xgl. After installing it, do not fail to activate it. I also installed compiz modules via the graphical synaptic installer.
After this install, requiring a reboot, the awn dock now displays as it should.
If you're running Ubuntu 9.10 and want to install Ruby on Rails I've put together a quick tutorial for you. Not tremendously much has changed since the last tutorial for Jaunty Jackalope. Unicorn is out and while I think it's nifty, I'm going to wait a little while before playing with it. For now my money is still on Phusion Passenger as being the right tool for the job. If all that seems fine, let's get to the details.
If you see this warning it means we have a little more work to do.
If you hadn't previously installed MySQL you'll be asked to set a root password. You don't have to, of course (it will bug you no fewer than 3 times if you opt not to) but I strongly recommend it. You'll need this password when you populate your rails config/database.yml file so be sure not to forget it.
Step 4: Grab the latest ruby gems and install them. As always be sure to check rubyforge.org to make sure you're grabbing the latest one. As of this writing it's 1.3.5 but it never hurts to confirm.
Once it's done you can remove the .tgz file and erase the rubygems-1.3.5 directory too.
If you're just doing local development then you are basically done. You may want to install additional gems. If you want to deploy Ruby on Rails onto a server then it's time to setup Nginx and Phusion.
Step 8: We're going to create a directory for your application. In anticipation of Capistrano, let's put it in /var/www/myapp/current. Swap out the myapp with anything you like.
Step 9: Now it's time to install Phusion Passenger and let it do it's magic.
At this point you'll be greeted with two options. The first will allow Passenger to do all the work while the second, for advanced users, allows you to point Phusion to your pre-installed Nginx. We're going to make life easy on ourselves and choose option 1. I'd also recommend keeping the default path (/opt/nginx).
The Nginx configuration file (nginx.conf) file is in /opt/nginx/conf/ They've done you the favor of adding the lines you need to get going. Defining the configuration file is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but I've included a sample file which you can download. This file assumes your application is in /var/www/myapp/current.
Sample nginx.conf file for Ruby on Rails, Nginx, Phusion Passenger.
You should also look into using a helper for deployment. I still use Capistrano but there are alternatives such as Vlad the Deployer, Puppet and others. I will also recommend that if you go with Capistrano that you check out the capistrano-ext gem which allows you to do multi-stage deployments.
1. There's an error log for nginx in /opt/nginx/logs/ Try looking to see if you get any hints there.
2. If you see a 403 forbidden error, make sure you have permissions set correctly. I'm running Nginx as www-data and I've set the group/user owners of my rails app to match using the chown -R www-data:www-data command. It doesn't hurt to confirm it.
For help, you should check out the great railsforum or Mailing list front-end.

Findings from Team B
This team consisted of three male members. They were unable to find a group in the course and the tutor arranged for them to be in the same group together. Using the web-based instant messaging client, the tutor gave students the nicknames – student 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Due to the anonymity of the system, students were unable to ascertain each others' identity. Interviews afterward verified that students had no idea who they were collaborating with although they guessed that the other members were male based on their linguistic styles.
Members in team B were very cordial and polite from the beginning. In the interview, one student expressed anxiety over the anonymous condition as he felt it was like an exam but he soon got over his nervousness as the discussion progressed. Team members were very concerned about the collaboration procedure and were explicit about work norms. For instance, student 1 enquired, "So what now? We go to the initial web page provided and then look for extra information on the Internet?" Also, as the task began, student 3 initiated a way of compilation, "You can give me whatever information you have, and I will sum up after that, OK?." Later, after they had found information about the project, student 2 asked how they were supposed to pass the information to student 3. In this case, student 3 decided to combine the content of the websites that the others had contributed. Student 1 was impressed by this, praising student 3 as "efficient", although he wanted to see the final compiled work. Student 3 emerged as the leader, as he was the main compiler and the initiator of each phase of the project.
As the team proceeded to the unstructured task, there was no more discussion about work norms. Members understood how they were to function and proceeded to collaborate in the same style as earlier. Basically, they first searched for information, when one member suggested a reference link, the other members would follow with either more links of their own or comments about the viability of the earlier link. After a small discussion about the solution, student 3 would compile the final solution.
Students 1 and 3 were slightly more active participants in both tasks than student 2, contributing points and combining answers while student 2 simply added points. In the interviews, students 1 and 3 were annoyed about the lack of participation by student 2, although this was not expressed in any way in the chat logs. In fact, at the end of their collaboration, all members thanked each other for their work and claimed that it was "nice" talking and working with each other. Student 2 shared in the interview that he was not worried about the opinions of others as it was an anonymous discussion. In contrast, students 1 and 3 were concerned about what others thought of them in the task and wanted recognition and agreement for their ideas. All members also felt rather negative towards the overall collaboration experience. In this team, students perceived that they did not learn much from this experience. However, this team received the highest overall score for the two tasks.

Taskforce sets out ten priorities for West Midlands economic recovery
A West Midlands road map to secure a successful post-Covid 19 economic recovery focusing on 10 key goals was announced at the end of last week. (Thursday May 7).
With the Government revealing plans for a phased lifting of restrictions, the region's political and business leaders have endorsed 10 priorities around which the West Midlands will draw up its own recovery plan.
The road map, which is being developed by a taskforce of experts from across the region's public, private and academic sectors, will aim to build a better, greener and more inclusive economy.
The 10 priorities for the recovery plan are:
Ensure residents are kept safe and healthy
Accelerate transport construction plans
Build more homes faster and reshape town centres
Get people who lose their jobs back into work quickly
Secure huge new investment in technology and innovation
Make sure the recovery is inclusive and works for everyone
Step up green growth plans
Take the West Midlands out to the world and bring the world into the West Midlands
Regain control of the region's own recovery
The 10 priorities were backed at a meeting tonight of the West Midlands Covid-19 Economic Impact Group (EIG) which brings together business leaders, central government, banks, trade unions, and local authorities including the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA).
Earlier today the political leaders of the seven metropolitan councils and fellow members of the WMCA board, also endorsed the 10 priorities in a statement of intent (copied in full below) setting out their commitment to rebuilding a better regional economy.
Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street, who chairs the WMCA and EIG, said:
"We have a unique economy in the West Midlands which was growing faster than anywhere else outside London when the coronavirus struck. Unfortunately it is that same uniqueness which also means we could be hit hardest by the economic consequences of the Coronavirus.
"That's why we need a recovery plan shaped by local knowledge and expertise that is specifically tailored for the West Midlands. The endorsement today of these 10 priorities is an important step forward as we draw up that plan and continue to press our case to Government.
"By working together under these priorities we can better co-ordinate both private and public sector investment as we look to re-build our economy.
"It is a long road ahead, but the West Midlands will bounce back."
Experts have warned that the economic make-up of the West Midlands leaves it particularly vulnerable to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis and research by consultants KPMG suggests the region could be the hardest hit in the UK.
To help manage the economic impact of Covid-19, the West Midlands is working together through the EIG to produce a recovery plan which will be specific to the region's needs.
Cllr Ian Brookfield, WMCA portfolio holder for economy and innovation said:
"Our reliance on automotive, construction and the manufacturing sectors, as well as our young, diverse population, makes us more vulnerable to the impacts of the pandemic.
"Yet these will also be our greatest assets in the race to recover and our economy has the potential to bounce back quickly.
"The goal for this plan will be to seize the opportunities that come from recovery such as investment in new markets and the upskilling of our workforce.
"By using local knowledge and assets we can build a better economy and lead the way in levelling-up the wider UK economy."
Lee Barron, regional secretary for TUC Midlands said:
"When all social partners, politicians, LEP's and the TUC are united in a common cause, that is a powerful message and it is crucial that working people have an equal voice to build a better economy for the future"
Cllr Ian Ward, WMCA portfolio holder for transport and vice-chair of the EIG, said:
"The West Midlands will play a vital role as we rebuild the economy after this pandemic and these ten priorities will help us build build a fairer, greener and more inclusive economy that works for people right across the region."
Ian O'Donnell, a member of the EIG and the National Board of Directors of the Federation of Small Businesses added:
"The West Midlands has a long history of innovating its way out of challenges, the small business community is a key part of that and this plan gives a road map to supporting and enabling their recovery while accepting their will be many adjustments needed along the way."
Tim Pile, chair of the West Midlands Strategic Economic Development Board said:
"The coming together of the private, pubic and academic sectors to agree a set of shared priorities is absolutely what's required to construct an inclusive and effective roadmap to recovery for the West Midlands. It is now vital that our businesses and residents are engaged through this process as we all work together to rebuild the economy.
"The challenges we have collectively faced have been immense, we must acknowledge that there are still hard times to come and strong leadership is required for the months ahead. The West Midlands region must build on its unique heritage and distinctive strengths and seize the opportunity to rebuild and come back even stronger."
As the country's youngest, most diverse region – with our brilliant universities leading the way to produce breakthrough innovation and talent – the West Midlands is buzzing with entrepreneurial spirit.

Camp meeting
Previous (Camp David Accords)
Next (Camphor)
Engraving of a Methodist camp meeting in 1819
Camp meetings were outdoor religious gatherings that became a prominent feature of the nineteenth century American frontier and helped start the Second Great Awakening. Held by various Protestant denominations to minister to the spiritual needs of largely un-churched rural settlements, they developed into major cultural events as well as religious revivals.
The first known large camp meetings were led by Presbyterian minister James McGready c. 1797-1800. By the turn of the nineteenth century, the camp meeting movement had spread throughout the American South and West. People from various ethnic backgrounds, walks of life, and denominational traditions participated, and many non-believers were converted by the powerful spiritual atmosphere created by the preaching and singing at the meetings.
1 Camp meetings in America
1.1 Character
2 Camp meetings in British Methodism
In England, Methodist ministers who took their inspiration from the camp meetings founded the Primitive Methodist Society. Camp meetings contributed to the informal American style of worship and were instrumental in the establishment of various non-denominational church traditions, especially the Restoration Movement, as well as to the success of the Baptists and Methodists in the American frontier.
Camp meetings in America
As large populations of Americans moved west in the late eighteenth century, the lack of churches in the new settlements created a religious vacuum in rural areas. Not only were there few authorized houses of worship, there were even fewer ordained ministers to fill their pulpits. The "camp meeting" was an innovative response to this situation.
A watercolor painting of a camp meeting c. 1839
Word of mouth—and later leaflets, posters, and newspaper ads—spread the word that there was to be a religious meeting at a certain location. The promise of a skilled preacher and a large gathering of people created a highly attractive event. Due to the still primitive means of transportation of the time, meetings often involved families leaving home for several days, usually camping out near the site. The meetings thus represented a kind of vacation from the day-to-day routines of settlements and farms, as well as a chance to meet old friends, relations, new acquaintances, and even prospective marriage partners in a religiously-based atmosphere. While they were thus primarily religious in character, camp meetings were festive affairs, often held annually or to coincide with a time when farm life did not require daily attendance to crops. For frontier children, the camp meeting was often their first experience of religious community.
At a large camp meeting, thousands came from over a large area, some out of sincere religious devotion or interest, others out of curiosity and a desire for a break from the arduous frontier routine. Many in the latter group became sincere converts as a result of the powerful preaching, singing, and testimonies generated at the meetings. The meetings provided participants with almost continuous services. Sermons of great power were the rule, in contrast to the staid ceremony of many established Eastern churches, and speakers competed with each other in skill, enthusiasm, number of converts made, and the ability to be heard by the large crowds. Once one speaker was finished, perhaps after several hours, another would often rise to take his place. In some meetings, several "preaching stations" were established. The meetings attracted people from all ethnic groups and denominations, contributing to a uniquely American religious experience.
Singing was another important feature of meetings. Drunkenness was strongly discouraged, but dancing was common, especially around the campfires after the day's formal activities had ended. Without a regular choir or hymnals, camp meeting songs tended to be extremely simple and easy to learn, with choruses consisting of only a few words. The familiar words, "Yes, Jesus love me!" (repeated three times) followed by "The Bible tells me so," are a typical example.
Lyrics were often printed on special "songsters" for camp meetings, but many could not read. A successful song session emphasized spontaneity, enthusiasm and repetition. Negro spirituals, with their call-and-response format, thus entered the mainstream of the American worship tradition through the medium of the camp meeting. The song leader would typically sing a short verse with varied words, and the congregation would answer the refrain, as in (leader): "I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield," (congregation): "Down by the Riverside, Down By the Riverside, Down by the Riverside!" Songs like "Shall We Gather by the River," "Amazing Grace," and several of the songs from the Methodist hymnal also came to be perennial favorites.
The exhilaration of participating in a religious revival with hundreds or thousands of participants inspired the dancing, shouting, hand-clapping, and loud singing associated with these events. In some meetings, phenomena such as glossolalia (speaking in tongues) and being "slain in the spirit" were witnessed. Most important, however, was the profound impact that the meetings often had on the individual's self-esteem. First shaken to the core by a sense of guilt brought on the preachers' art, then restored by confidence of personal salvation, most of the converts joined small local churches, which thereby grew rapidly.
The Camp Meeting by Worthington Whittredge.
The Pennsylvania-born Presbyterian minister James McGready (c. 1758-1817) organized the first known major series of camp meetings in Logan County, Kentucky from 1797-99. One participant described the meetings as follows:
There, on the edge of a prairie in Logan County… the multitudes came together and continued a number of days and nights encamped on the ground, during which time worship was carried on in some part of the encampment. The scene was new to me and passing strange. It baffled description. Many, very many, fell down as men slain in battle, and continued for hours together in an apparently breathless and motionless state… The gloomy cloud that had covered their faces seemed gradually and visibly to disappear, and hope, in smiles, brightened into joy. They would rise, shouting deliverance, and then would address the surrounding multitude in language truly eloquent and impressive. With astonishment did I hear men, women, and children declaring the wonderful works of God and the glorious mysteries of the gospel.
Peter Cartwright was a noted camp meeting preacher and Methodist circuit rider
Another early camp meeting took place in July 1800 at Creedance Clearwater Revival Church in southwestern Kentucky. The success of these meetings was infectious, and soon, dozens of preachers were organizing similar events in various parts of the country. The meetings would thus become a major contributing factor to what became known as the Second Great Awakening.
A particularly large and important meeting was held at Cane Ridge, Kentucky in 1801, attracting perhaps as many as 20,000 people. It was here that the Restoration Movement began to be formalized as a non-denominational movement committed to the original "primitive" Christianity of the New Testament. The Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, and the Church of Christ grew out of this development. Numerous Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist ministers also participated in the services at Cane Ridge. The event helped stamp the revival, whether in camp meetings or other venues, as a major mode of church expansion of the Methodists and Baptists.
In Georgia, the first recorded camp meeting was held on Shoulderbone Creek in Hancock County 1803. English Methodist preacher Lorenzo Dow was greatly moved by the event and took the concept back to England, where it led eventually to the formation of the Primitive Methodist tradition. The Methodist preacher Nathan Bangs was responsible for organizing the first camp meeting in Upper Canada in the fall of 1805. Methodist circuit riders like Peter Cartwright, (September 1, 1785–September 25, 1872) often preached at camp meetings while traveling to the rural churches on their routes. Cartwright himself is said to have personally baptized some 12,000 people.
The Great Auditorium at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, site of the oldest annually-held camp meeting in the United States.
In 1815, in what is now Toronto, Ohio, Reverend J. M. Bray, pastor of the Sugar Grove Methodist Episcopal Church, began an annual camp meeting that still meets today as the Hollow Rock Holiness Camp Meeting Association. Throughout the Appalachian region, camp meetings were also extremely popular. In August 1844, a camp meeting in Exeter, New Hampshire played an important role in the establishment of the Seventh Day Adventists. Both the Jehovah's Witnesses and Joseph Smith's Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints also made use of the camp-meeting tradition.
Camp meetings were thus a major factor in the Second Great Awakening. However, in the East, leaders like Lyman Beecher opposed the emotionalism that typified the camp meetings. Charles Grandison Finney, on the other hand, embraced some of their innovations, such as spontaneous preaching and allowing women a more public role. He would be known as the "The Father of Modern Revivalism."
The meetings became more professionally organized in time and gained wide recognition in the aftermath of the American Civil War as a result of the first Holiness movement camp meeting in Vineland, New Jersey in 1867. Ocean Grove, New Jersey, founded in 1869, has been called the "Queen of the Victorian Methodist Camp Meetings." At the end of the nineteenth century, believers in Spiritualism also established camp meetings throughout the United States.
By the late nineteenth century, most rural communities had established congregations. The mainline churches thus tended to disassociate themselves from emotionalism, hucksterism, and potential "sheep-stealing" that characterized some camp meetings. Denominational revival meetings thus began to replace the general camp meeting in many traditions. Holiness and Pentecostal groups, however, were more likely to embrace the camp meeting as an opportunity for an authentic movement of the Holy Spirit in which new converts could be made.
Camp meetings in America continued to be conducted for many years on a wide scale. Some are still held today, primarily by Pentecostal groups. The contemporary revival meeting—held either in a local church, auditorium, or tent—is often seen as a modern-day attempt to recreate the spirit and effectiveness of the frontier camp meeting.
Camp meetings in British Methodism
Hugh Bourne was an English camp meeting organizer and founder of Primitive Methodism.
Reverend Lorenzo Dow, who had participated in the camp meeting at Shoulderbone Creek in Georgia, brought reports of the camp meetings during his visits to England. Methodist ministers Hugh Bourne, William Clowes, and Daniel Shoebotham saw this as an answer to complaints from members of their congregations that their weeknight prayer meeting was too short. Bourne also saw the meetings as a a potential antidote to the general debauchery of tradition of the wakes in that part of Stoke on Trent.
In May 1807, the first camp meeting in England was thus held near Mow Cop, an isolated village straddling the Cheshire-Staffordshire border. From 1807 to the establishing of Primitive Methodism as a denomination in 1811, a series of 17 camp meetings was held. There were a number of different venues beyond Mow Cop, including Norton-in-the-Moors in 1807, and Ramsor in 1808. However, Wesleyan Methodists disapproved of the event's enthusiasm. After Bourne persisted in organizing the meetings, the church subsequently expelled him "because you have a tendency to set up other than the ordinary worship." His expulsion led eventually to the formation of the Primitive Methodist Society in England.
The pattern of the Primitive Methodist camp meeting was as a time of prayer and preaching from the Bible. In the first meeting, four separate "preaching stations" had been set up by the afternoon, each with an audience, while in between others spent the time praying. Their emphasis preaching from the Bible rather than extemporaneously is a distinction from the tradition of American camp meetings. Camp meetings were a regular feature of Primitive Methodist life throughout the nineteenth century, and still have existence in other forms today.

Lauren Jauregui Looks Back at 2018 & Forward to 2019 In New Instagram Post
Lauren Jauregui is looking forward to the new year ahead.
In a reflective post on her Instagram, the 21-year-old "Expectations" singer recalled all the ups and downs of the past year.
"Time seems to have taken its own form of being this year," she writes. "I've lived a total of three lifetimes in it and I'm still growing and transitioning. It has been one of the most tumultuous learning experiences of my life while simultaneously being filled with so many beautiful blessings that have laid the foundation for the year I have ahead of me."
Lauren continues, "I have not only processed more about Life but about my purpose and understanding of self. I learned that a lot of things I'd become accustomed to doing don't work for me anymore. A lot of people I thought loved and cared don't and that that's ok because there are so many others that do that I spend all my time being grateful for."
"I grew closer to my divine guidance, I grew closer to my truth, and as this year closes I end it knowing that I am the sole decider of what I allow in my reality. I am my worst enemy and best friend and everything that happens to me is a result of which one I decide to be. It's about decisions, it's about holding sacred space for healing and not being so harsh to myself."
"So I go into this new year on a mission to love myself harder than I've ever even attempted to," Lauren adds. "Love myself so much I forget the voices that don't believe in me and I remind them that only I am in control of my destiny."
She also added a special message for her fans: "Until next year my beautiful loves. I can't thank you enough for the amount of love you've shown me. For the support that you gift me. You are such a beautiful reflection of the light this world is capable of✨ I hope you have a beautiful blessed year filled with the fulfillment of every dream you set your heart to. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! Just remember to believe in you too❤ happy 2018(: cheers to 2019!"
Thanks for liking my pics this year
