With nearly 15 years of experience in wealth management, I am committed to serving successful individuals and their families with all aspects of their financial planning concerns. It is my privilege to understand, address, and solve our clients' problems.
I began my career as a financial advisor with Ameriprise, where I was extensively trained in the core disciplines of financial planning. In 2007, I made the decision to move my practice to an independent investment and financial services firm based out of Charlotte, NC. In 2017, after surveying the industry landscape, I brought my practice to Thorium Wealth Management, where I serve as Director of Investments and Vice President.
I have spent nearly my whole life around the financial business environment, as my mother and other family members have financial advisory and wealth management backgrounds. I am motivated by helping others solve their problems – large and small. Two attributes – analytical and expressive – shape who I am and why I enjoy doing what I do. The analytical side embraces the challenge of finding a solution to a problem, while the expressive side enjoys developing a personal relationship.
I am an avid student of the markets, and have observed over the years that markets of all kinds frequently have identifiable and repeatable patterns. As Mark Twain wrote, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." As a result of this understanding, I have spent years studying and developing skills and techniques to assess when to increase or decrease exposure to market risk. I am also proficient in many options based strategies designed to hedge market risk or generate income.
I hold a BS in Business from Wake Forest University. In addition to various securities registrations, I am currently studying for examination to receive the Chartered Market Technician® (CMT) credential, one of the preeminent, global designations for practitioners of technical analysis. The designation is awarded to those who demonstrate mastery of a core body of knowledge of investment risk in portfolio management settings.
My wife Kelsey and I live in the Winston Salem area with our children Averie, Weston, Bennett, and Juliette. Outside of the office, I am passionate about spending time with family, playing golf, writing and recording music, and participating in many outdoor activities.
I believe life is about "continuing progress…not perfection." I thank you for reading a little bit about me, and I look forward to learning more about you and your needs and assisting you in reaching your goals through an ongoing planning relationship.

Q: How to get "related documents" in a query in Elasticearch? I have a problem in elasticsearch i am not being able to solve:
I have two different types in an index, one called 'keywords' and another one called 'products'.
Keywords have the string property 'keyword_content', and products have the text property 'content'.
I need to query all the keywords with its first N related products each. The related relationship is defined by standard querying
I know I have the parent-child feature in ElasticSearch, but when I inserted the keywords i did not know the related products beforehand (the only way would be to, before inserting the keywords, use a search query on each keyword to know which products are related, and indexing the keywords with the correct products, but it would mean QUERYING EACH before inserting, which is costly).
Se let's assume I already have the two UNRELATED types in ElasticSearch. How do i query ALL the keywords with its associated N related products. I'm looking for a kind of 'dynamic field' that is the result of a query on a different type using as query string the 'keyword_content' property of each document.
I want something like:
Example of a keyword document:
{ "_id": 1,
  "keyword_content": "happy dogs"
}
{ "_id": 2,
"keyword_content": "spaceship"
}

Example of product documents
{ "_id": "P1", "content": "This is a collar for happy dogs"}
{ "_id": "P2", "content": "This is a collar for angry dogs"}
{ "_id": "P3", "content": "This is a spaceship"}

I want something like this (i am simplifying the elasticsearch formats to better explain my usecase)(not that the types are NOT related, or maybe I can relate them, but i cannot specify which keyowrds are related to which product, i want elasticSearch to tell me that):
[
    {
         "_id": 1,
        "keyword_content": "happy dogs"
        "related_products": [
            { "_id": "P1", "content": "This is a collar for happy dogs"},
            { "_id": "P2", "content": "This is a collar for angry dogs"}
        ]
    },
    {
         "_id": 2,
        "keyword_content": "spaceship"
        "related_products": [
            { "_id": "P3", "content": "This is a spaceship"}
        ]
    }

Q: Pass derived object to function and access overridden member function I'm trying to pass a pointer to an object which class inherits from another class to a function and then access the member functions of it.
This is the base class:
class Base
{
public:
  virtual int funcA(int paramA) = 0;
}

This is the derived class:
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
  Derived();
  ~Derived();
  int funcA(int paramA);
}

Derived::Derived() {}
Derived::~Derived() {}
Derived::funcA(int paramA)
{
  // SOMETHING
}

And the function should look something like this:
template<class T> // T should only be types that are derived from Base
void funcB(T* object)
{
  object.funcA(10);
}

I've already tried many different things but none of them compiled because I'm trying to access a function of a template.

A: First of all the definition of Derived::funcA(int paramA) lacks the return argument int and having a return type int it will have to return something e.g. paramA. For the sake of clarity that you want to override the function of the Base class I would also mark funcA as override or final.
Secondly by passing a pointer to funcB you will have to access the member function with the arrow operator -> instead of the dot operator .. The cleanest way of implementing this would be to activate the function with SFINAE (std::enable_id) only if the template argument T inherits from Base. For C++17 this would look like
template<class T>
std::enable_if_t<std::is_base_of_v<Base, T>, void>
funcB(T* object) {
  object->funcA(10);
  return;
}

For C++11 something like
template<class T>
typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, void>::type
funcB(T* object) {
  object->funcA(10);
  return;
}

should do the job.
Try it here.

Two Fatalities In PA Amtrak Crash
Two workers are dead and dozens are injured after an Amtrak train struck a backhoe in Chester, Pennsylvania.
After suspending all service on the Northeast Corridor between Philadelphia and Wilmington, Amtrak announced Sunday afternoon it will resume full service on Monday with some residual delays. Officials said 330 passengers and seven crew members were on board at the time of the accident.
Of those 300 passengers, 30 have been hospitalized for unknown injuries. A locomotive engineer has also been hospitalized. There was no word on their conditions.
The workers killed were a backhoe operator and supervisor who were at or in the vicinity of the crash when it occurred. Both were Amtrak employees.

People, want to be happy. That is a given. For most of us that is going to include doing things that you feel comfortable doing. Most of us use the same bank, shop for our food at the same grocery, even tend to favor one movie theater over the next, not usually because of amenities, but more often because it is where we got comfortable. The gym and your "gym routine" is not any different. How many of us are doing the equivalent of punching a card when we step in for a workout? We take our Ipods (guilty) our cell phones (guilty), plug ourselves in, and even pause in the middle of our "work out" to check facebook, or look for a better play list. I've been involved in the fitness industry, professionally, for over 7 years now. If there is one thing I've noticed it is that people will allow themselves to stay in the same stagnant shape for years, and not particularly care a bit about it. For some it seems to be a badge of honor just to say "I went to the gym today" (not excluding myself, I've been there)…That's all fine and dandy but I wonder when we have a right to challenge someone who is taking so much external pride in that statement. When can we, as friends, trainers, mentors, say……."don't tell me you went to the gym, tell me how you challenged yourself. Tell me how the workout you were about to do scared the hell out of you, and after you finished you felt like you could hardly move, but somehow felt like you could climb Mt. Everest. Tell me how what you just did has instilled such a sense of confidence in you that it's very likely that you will tell your boss tomorrow morning what you think about the meeting he makes you sit through every morning before work starts. Tell me how the workout has touched you so much that you are going to force all of your friends come try this sh%$ out because it is awesome. How often do we feel that way? How often should we feel that way?
MY GYM….
It's my guess that we don't feel that way often enough, and that we should feel that way after every workout. We should feel something, feel engaged, feel that we learned, accomplished, connected, that we were challenged, that we were cared about……at the very least feel like we didn't go on autopilot….
It has been a dream of mine for the better part of 6 years to help people in bettering themselves through physical exertion. I have done as much, working for Gold's Gym, and then moving on to running an extremely successful Tae Kwon Do school here in Amherst NY. But the time has come for a change. I needed more….. And I found more.
5385 Main Street Suite 4
Amherst, NY, 14226
The lease has been signed, the renovation has begun. By November 15th, everyone will have a place to come where they will be cared for, engaged, challenged and not allowed to simply shift into autopilot. In the Village of Williamsville, for at least the next five years people who want to change will have that outlet….
thanks for your support and for the read….
much more information to come in the future….
Wish me luck Buffalo and beyond…

Q: Inverse function theorem : Let $f:E \to R^n$ . For each $U,V$ in the construction and $x \in U$ , can we have $f'(x)$ invertible?
If $f:E \to R^n$ is continuously differentiable and $f'(a)$ is invertible , $b=f(a)$.Then we can find open sets $U,V \in R^n$ such that :
$(1)$ $a\in U$ , $b \in V$  and $f$ is one-to-one from $U$ onto $V$ .
$(2)$ If $g$ is the inverse of $f$ defined in $V$ , then $g$ is continuously differentiable .

In the proof of Rudin's book , the $(U,V)$ he construct also has the property that for all $x\in U$ , we have $f'(x)$ invertible . So we have $g'(y)=\{f'(g(y))\}^{-1}$ for every $y \in V$ .
However , does this always valid for every pair of $(U,V)$ that satisfied condition $(1),(2)$ ?

A: Yes, because by the second condition, the inverse $g$ is differentiable; hence by the chain rule, for every $x \in U$, we have that $g'(f(x))\circ f'(x) =I$ (the identity linear transformation). In particular, $f'(x)$ has to be invertible.

Dunn County Health and Human Services Meeting 11/19/2020
Steve Hanson
Health & Human Services Board - 11/19/2020
Video of Health & Human Services Board - 11/19/2020
This is the live Zoom meeting for 11/19/2020.
KT Gallagher has reported two new deaths in Dunn County since this morning's state numbers were released, raising the number to 8. There may be one more that has not been confirmed as a COVID-19 death.
Local hospitals are now very stressed, as are others in the state. Many of them are now in their surge plan. Because the county is so heavily overwhelmed they have had to re-think contact tracing again, and are asking all non-household contacts to be traced directly, rather than through the health department. They are now dealing with approximately six times the number of cases they can handle well. KT Gallagher has hired four new contact tracers in the last week, so they now have 22 plus the 13 being employed by UW-Stout. "To say that COVID is consuming the health department is an understatement" according to Gallagher.

FDA Updates Recommendations to Prevent Spread of Zika Through Blood Transmission in US
On February 16, 2016, FDA published a guidance document that provided blood establishments with recommendations to reduce the risk of contaminating the US blood supply with the Zika virus. On Friday, August 26th the FDA revised this guidance, stating that all blood and blood components that are donated in the US should be tested for the Zika virus.
When the FDA issued its original guidance, its contents only applied to areas with active Zika transmission. As such, all areas in the US with active transmission are currently in compliance with this guidance. However, as a further safety measure against the Zika outbreak, the Agency is now recommending "that all states and U.S. territories screen individual units of donated Whole Blood and blood components with a blood screening test authorized for use by the FDA under an investigational new drug (IND) application, or a licensed test when available. Alternatively, an FDA-approved pathogen-reduction device may be used for plasma and certain platelet products."
FDA notes that it published this update after carefully considering all available scientific evidence, consulting with other public health agencies, and considering the potential serious health consequences of Zika virus infection to pregnant women and children born to women exposed to Zika virus during pregnancy. All blood donated in in Florida, Puerto Rico, and other areas is already undergoing such testing. This testing has proven to be helpful in identifying donations infected with the Zika virus. FDA feels that "expanded testing will continue to reduce the risk for transmission of Zika virus through the U.S. blood supply and will be in effect until the risk of transfusion transmission of Zika virus is reduced."
For additional information on FDA's recommendations, view the Agency's full guidance document as well as the related news release.

I hope the Celtics' revamping of their support staff last summer included hiring a good detective or two. It appears that, somewhere between Atlanta and Dallas, Brad Stevens's parcel of "Halftime Houdini Harangues" got itself misplaced. It took Boston seven Q3 possessions to score at all, and another five before they could register a successful field goal attempt.
The C's committed six turnovers in that third session alone, as many as they'd forced in the game's first 36 minutes.
There was an odd symmetry to Boston's first half shooting last night. They shot a very-easy-to-compute even 50% -- 20 for 40 – conveniently separating the attempts into two neat piles of 20 per quarter.
On top of that, they had 13 makes and seven misses in Q1 (eight-for-nine on "twos") – but then they flipped those overall numbers (7-20) in the second session. That's kinda weird.
Including the final ten Q4 possessions, and kicked off with their first "follow-up" points of the game, the Celtics converted 14 of their last 21 opportunities – while Dallas was posting 11 one-and-done's and just 5 conversions.
Algebraically, Boston should have won this game by one point in regulation time.
After 48 minutes, the Mavs had a two-conversion edge (44-42), worth an expected four points. But the C's 13 treys against four missed FT's earns nine "stripes" against the Mavs' (7 minus 3) four, a gain of five points for the good guys.
The outcome would appear to affirm Rasheed's favorite phrase, eh?

[![Current Version](https://clojars.org/halboy/latest-version.svg)](https://clojars.org/halboy)

A Clojure library for all things hypermedia.

* Create hypermedia resources
* Marshal to and from JSON, or a map
* Navigate JSON+HAL APIs

## New in version 5

Halboy now filters out keys with nil values:

```clojure
(require '[halboy.resource :as hal])

(-> (hal/new-resource)
        (hal/add-links
            :self "/orders/123"
            :creator nil)
        (links))
; { :self "/orders/123" }
```

## API

### Resources

With Halboy you can create resources, and pull information from them.

```clojure
(require '[halboy.resource :as hal])

(def my-resource
    (-> (hal/new-resource "/orders/123")
        (hal/add-link :creator "/users/rob")
        (hal/add-resource :discount (-> (hal/new-resource "/discounts/1256")
                                         (hal/add-property :discount-percentage 10)))
        (hal/add-resource :items [(-> (hal/new-resource "/items/534")
                                     (hal/add-property :price 25.48))])
        (hal/add-property :state :dispatching)))

(hal/get-link my-resource :self)
; { :href "/orders/123" }

(hal/get-href my-resource :creator)
; "/users/rob"

(hal/get-property my-resource :state)
; :dispatching

(-> (hal/get-resource my-resource :discount)
    (hal/get-property :discount-percentage))
; 10

(-> (hal/get-resource my-resource :items)
    (first)
    (hal/get-property :price))
; 25.48
```

### Marshalling

You can also marshal your hal resources to and from maps, or JSON.

```clojure
(require '[halboy.resource :as hal])
(require '[halboy.json :as haljson])

(def my-resource
    (-> (hal/new-resource "/orders/123")
        (hal/add-link :creator "/users/rob")
        (hal/add-resource :items (-> (hal/new-resource "/items/534")
                                     (hal/add-property :price 25.48)))
        (hal/add-property :state :dispatching)))

(haljson/resource->map my-resource)
; {:_links    {:self {:href "/orders/123"},
;              :creator {:href "/users/rob"}},
;  :_embedded {:items {:_links {:self {:href "/items/534"}},
;                      :price  25.48}},
;   :state    :dispatching}

(haljson/resource->json my-resource)
; Formatted in these docs only.
;
; {
;   \"_links\": {
;     \"self\": {
;       \"href\": \"/orders/123\"
;     },
;     \"creator\": {
;       \"href\": \"/users/rob\"
;     }
;   },
;   \"_embedded\": {
;     \"items\": {
;       \"_links\": {
;         \"self\": {
;           \"href\": \"/items/534\"
;         }
;       },
;       \"price\": 25.48
;     }
;   },
;   \"state\": \"dispatching\"
; }

(-> (haljson/resource->json my-resource)
    (haljson/json->resource)
    (hal/get-href :self))
; "/orders/123"
```

### Navigation

Provided you're calling a HAL+JSON API, you can discover the API and navigate
through its links. When you've found what you want, you call
`navigator/resource` and you get a plain old HAL resource, which you can inspect
using any of the methods above.

```clojure
(require '[halboy.resource :as hal])
(require '[halboy.navigator :as navigator])

; GET / - 200 OK
; {
;  "_links": {
;    "self": {
;      "href": "/"
;    },
;    "users": {
;      "href": "/users"
;    },
;    "user": {
;      "href": "/users/{id}",
;      "templated": true
;    }
;  }
;}

(def users-result
     (-> (navigator/discover "https://api.example.com/")
         (navigator/get :users))

(navigator/status users-result)
; 200

(navigator/location users-result)
; "https://api.example.com/users"

(-> (navigator/discover "https://api.example.com/")
    (navigator/get :user {:id "rob"})
    (navigator/location))
; "https://api.example.com/users/rob"

(def sue-result
     (-> (navigator/discover "https://api.example.com/")
         (navigator/post :users {:id "sue" :name "Sue" :title "Dev"}))

(navigator/location sue-result)
; "https://api.example.com/users/sue"

(-> (navigator/resource sue-result)
    (hal/get-property :title))
; "Dev"
```

### Customisation

### Custom HTTP clients

Halboy offers an out-of-the-box HTTP client which uses HTTPKit. You can pass
a HTTP client into Halboy using the `:client` key of the settings. It must
adhere to the `halboy.http.protocol.HttpClient` protocol.

#### CachableHttpClient
Halboy also offers an HTTP client with caching support which is an in-memory
cache. It uses `clojure.core.cache TTLCache` for caching with the default TTL of
2000 miliseconds which can be overridden to a different type of cache of choice
or a different TTL.
```clojure
; default cachable client
(navigator/discover "https://api.example.com"
 {:client           (halboy.http.cachable/new-http-client)
  :follow-redirects true
  :http             {:headers {}}})

; cachable client with an hour TTL
(require '[clojure.core.cache :as cache])

(def in-memory-cache (atom (cache/ttl-cache-factory {} :ttl 3600000)))
  (navigator/discover "https://api.example.com"
     {:client           (halboy.http.cachable/new-http-client in-memory-cache)
      :follow-redirects true
      :http             {:headers {}}})
```
#### HTTP settings

All settings under the `:http` key are passed into the HTTP client. These are
_deep_ merged into each request, with keys on the request taking priority.

The request will always fill in the keys `:method`, `:url`, `:body`, and
`:query-params`.

Headers specified in HTTP settings will be merged with headers defined by
`set-header`. If they share the same key, the `set-header` call wins.

PUBG Among Steam's Top-Selling Games in 2017
Valve also compiled lists of the top selling new releases of 2017, the most played games of 2017, the top selling VR experiences of 2017, and the top early access graduates of 2017.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/pubg-among-steams-top-selling-games-in-2017
Valve is taking a look back at the 100 best selling PC games on Steam in 2017, and the multiplayer online hit PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was among the top 12.
Instead of ranking titles 1 to 100, Valve broke the list into four categories: Platinum, (Nos. 1-12), Gold (Nos. 13-24), Silver (Nos. 25-40), and Bronze (Nos. 41-100). Besides PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the 11 other titles to make the Platinum list included Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Warframe, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, ARK: Survival Evolved, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Rocket League, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Grand Theft Auto V.
"We ran the numbers to come up with the list of the games that earned the most revenue during 2017, including all forms of Steam revenue; game sales, in-game transactions, and DLC," Valve wrote in a blog post. "So, like last year, the resulting list includes a mix of free-to-play games as well as premium games."
To see which titles ranked as Gold, Silver, and Bronze, head here.
Valve also compiled the top selling new releases of 2017, which is broken down by month; the most played games of 2017; the top selling VR experiences of 2017; and the top early access graduates of 2017. The nine most played games of 2017 were: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Payday 2, Warframe, ARK: Survival Evolved, H1Z1, Grand Theft Auto V, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Dota 2, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Each of those games peaked with more than 100,000 simultaneous players this year.
Meanwhile, if the lists inspire you to try a new game, there are plenty of discounted options still available as part of the Steam Winter Sale, which runs now through Jan 4 at 1 p.m. ET. Valve also this week plans to announce the winners of the second annual Steam Awards, so be sure to get your votes in.

Provence IV From the Portfolio "Provence" by Roger Mühl, 1986
Artist: Roger Mühl
Medium: Original Lithograph, signed and numbered, 1986
Dimensions: 12.5 x 16.5 in, 41.9 x 31.8 cm
Arches Paper - Perfect Condition A+
In 1986, from the Lithographic Portfolio "Provence"
One of Mühl's major sources of creativity throughout his career was light. It was in the south of France that he found the intense, bright sunlight that inspired him most. In this series of original signed lithographs, the artist depicts the landscapes around his home in Provence. These works were created to illustrate texts and poems written by French author Marcel Pagnol.
Marcel Paul Pagnol was a French novelist, playwright, and filmmaker. He was born in 1895 in Aubagne, Provence. While he is still generally regarded as one of France's greatest 20th-century writers, he became the first filmmaker elected to the Académie française.

My grand return to radio, but with a twist.
It's been a few years since I've been on the radio.
I used to screen calls, book guests, and run the control board for college radio and for nationally-syndicated shows after that, and it's still a little unnerving to go on-air.
But when a friend contacted me about a potential radio interview, I couldn't say no—not when we're on such a fun, unpredictable adventure of turning The Variable Life into a real, live book and helping people build a better life with its stories.
There's something powerful about showing up and saying yes.
I wrote about that in the book, and how learning to say yes can take you further on the path to the person you're meant to become. It changes you and it changes your circumstances a little, and it offers you a doorway to something else you didn't know what possible.
Now that sounds like an adventure worth taking.
Thank you to every person who's pledged to the campaign! You're making this idea become a reality, and I'm glad to be with you on this adventure.
There's lots happening this week, so I'll share more soon. So fun.

Q: Cordova: Should I use php or node.js to fetch database? I am working on a Cordova project. I know that I can use either PHP or node.js to interact with mysql database.
I am curious to know that which approach is best; Should I use PHP or node.js to interact with MySQL database?

A: You should use whatever you are confortable with.
I personally build Cordova apps with AngularJS (frontend) and NodeJS (backend).
This choice, for me, is the best as I mostly build real time applications using socket.io as a communication channel.
I became a fan of NodeJS, JavaScript in general, lately, so I'll choose this over PHP anytime. I think that NodeJS it's more flexible and offers you access to a lot more tools & libraries than PHP.
To connect to mysql with NodeJS, you have this active maintained module: node-mysql.
If your concern is performance, have a look at this topic: node.js MySQL performance


Life in your 20s has to be the weirdest, most inconsistent decade of them all. Of course this is a legitimate fact since I've lived all of two-and-a-half decades and can therefore draw this logical conclusion.
Think about it: for the average person in their twenties we go from finishing college and living with our best friends, to getting our first real job and living alone, to maybe getting married, to maybe having kids.
That's a lot of change in a ten-year span.
Just six years ago I was wearing sweats to class and eating Taco Bell every night. Now I…well I still wear sweats most days and eat a lot of Taco Bell, so I'm not proving my point.
But besides my sweatpants and bad eating habits, not much has stayed consistent. Just a little over a year ago I wrote a blog about what to do when life seems slow. I was bored out of my mind and there were way too many hours in a day. Now I'm in a season that feels like there aren't close to enough hours in a day. I rarely feel like I have time to do the things I actually want to do (hence, my first blog in a month and a half).
So what do we do when life just won't slow down? Here are three convictions I've had lately.
Make Time with the Lord your First Priority.
Yeah, yeah, we know we should. But when we wake up with a million things we have to get done that day, it's so easy to push this one to the back-burner. Trust me, I know the feeling. I have had plenty of days the last few months when I wake up panicked and open my computer to start working as soon as I can.
I've realized when I do this, I never actually come back around to spending time with Him. In fact, my day is usually filled with more panic and worry and my to-do list seems to keep growing. And time with the Lord is at the bottom of that incredibly long list. But what if time with the Lord wasn't actually a part of our "to-do" list at all? What if it was something that was as much apart of our day as brushing our teeth or eating breakfast – something we know we have to do because our day can't get started without it?
What if time with the Lord isn't supposed to be a part of our to-do list?
Lately He's reminded me that my day truly means nothing without asking Him to lead it. The cool thing is, when I spend time with Him, all of my "to-dos" suddenly get in perspective. I remember that He is with me, and HE fuels my work. I work for His glory. If 5 p.m. hits and I still have work to do, I am free to shut my computer and resume the next day – because my work doesn't define me – He does.
Lately I've begun to plan my next day out before I'm done with work the day before. This helps me remember to actually spend time with the Lord, my husband and anything else that is important that can easily get overlooked in a panic of to-dos. It also helps me prioritize my work so big projects don't sit on the back-burner while I put out fires all day with little tasks. Maybe this is something you already do, but this simple task has been revolutionary for me.
When something calls for my attention that feels urgent, I can remind myself that I have a plan and that's not my focus right now. I do build in time each day for unexpected tasks, so I know they will still get done in that hour. Sometimes in a busy season we can forget to schedule out our days and weeks because we don't think we have the time, but the ten minute task can make all the difference.
When is the last time you did something you truly enjoy? If you can't remember, it may be time to put away the work, find a babysitter, or ask someone for some help so you can get a break.
The older I'm getting, the more I'm realizing the importance of making space in my life to do things that I enjoy. When we are only giving, giving, giving, our tanks eventually hit empty.
Do you feel guilty getting time for yourself? What if I told you It's actually GOOD for your work and/or your family if you take a break every now and then? It allows you to fuel back up and give more in the long-run because you have energy to give it. Whatever your "fun" is – going on a date, taking a jog, watching a movie, writing a blog – I dare you to schedule it this week. You deserve it. If God rested on the seventh day, I think it's okay for us to as well. In fact, He tells us to.
Take a deep breath, my friend. Life may be moving quickly, but that doesn't mean we don't have any control over our time. Let's make a pact to spend time with the Lord this week, schedule out our days, and make time for a little fun. Who's with me?

Everyone has their own stories. We learn through lessons we've experienced.
This blog will tell people about the stories that I learn through the experiences of my life. I really do have the passion to share what God has done through the darkest time in my life, lessons He has taught me, and just the journey of exploring more about life.
Just hoping that this blog can help people to learn about life principles and just some new perspective of life.

Alondra de la Parra (Nueva York, 31 de octubre de 1980) es una directora de orquesta mexicana. Es fundadora y directora artística de la Orquesta Filarmónica de las Américas con sede en Nueva York y Embajadora Cultural del Turismo de México. Además, es directora musical de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Queensland en Australia, convirtiéndose en la primera mujer en desempeñar ese cargo en una orquesta australiana.

Trayectoria
Su abuela fue la escritora Yolanda Vargas Dulche.
De la Parra se mudó a la Ciudad de México a los dos años. Comenzó con siete años sus estudios de piano y a la edad de trece el violonchelo. Estudió composición en el Centro de Investigación y Estudios Musicales (CIEM) de México, representante oficial de la ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) el organismo de educación musical más grande del Reino Unido. Ingresó como becaria en la Manhattan School of Music de Nueva York -a los diecinueve años- hasta conseguir la licenciatura en Piano, bajo la tutela de Jeffrey Cohen. Posteriormente alcanzó la Maestría en Dirección Orquestal, esta vez bajo la tutela de Kenneth Kiesler. En ambos casos obtuvo los grados con honores.

A nivel internacional, de la Parra es representada por Tanja Dorn de IMG Artists.

En su país, de la Parra ha dirigido a las orquestas de Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Puebla, Xalapa, Estado de México, la Sinfónica de Minería y a la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional en el Palacio de Bellas Artes.

De igual forma en el 2012, dirigió el concierto de celebración del 150 Aniversario de la Batalla del "Cinco de Mayo" en la Basílica Catedral de Puebla. En 2013, hizo su debut con la Orquesta de París, y con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Radio Berlín.

Orquesta Filarmónica de las Américas
Alondra de la Parra tenía 23 años cuando en 2004, durante sus estudios en la Manhattan School of Music, fundó en la ciudad de Nueva York la Orquesta Filarmónica de las Américas con la misión de promover y difundir las obras de jóvenes compositores y solistas del continente. Siempre estuvo muy vinculada con la educación y con esta institución emprendió un importante programa educativo para las escuelas públicas del Bronx en Nueva York, así como con orquestas infantiles durante sus giras por México.

Desde su creación, cobró prestigio poco a poco. Sus integrantes ofrecieron actuaciones para el gobierno mexicano, la Casa Blanca y el Consulado de Canadá. En su seno, unos 20 solistas de América Latina como Elena Urioste, Jade Simmons, Denise Djokic, Capps Ben, Edward Burns, Pablo Sainz Villegas y Daniel Andai, hicieron su debut. También fue la responsable de diez estrenos mundiales de compositores latinos como Arturo Márquez, Enrico Chapela, Eugenio Toussaint, Eduardo Gamboa y Jarvlepp Jan.

De acuerdo con el Reporte anual 2009 de la orquesta, disponible en su sitio de internet, esta creció significativamente desde sus primeros años pasando de ofrecer solo dos conciertos en 2005 a dar 24 en 2010. Las cifras financieras también se elevaron y pasaron de menos de 200 mil dólares en 2004 a contar con más de un millón 400 mil dólares en 2010.

Con motivo de los festejos patrios de 2010, la agrupación grabó su primer disco comercial Mi alma mexicana, con Sony Music, que rápidamente obtuvo disco de platino en México por sus altas ventas. En su gira Bicentenario 2010, inauguró los festejos a los pies del Monumento a la Independencia y recorrió 6 ciudades del país ofreciendo 9 conciertos para los que se agotaron las entradas.

Después del éxito de Mi alma mexicana, grabaron Travieso Carmesí, en 2011, incluyendo la participación de Natalia Lafourcade, Lo Blondo (Denise Gutiérrez) y Ely Guerra.

La orquesta suspendió sus actividades en junio de 2011 por falta de financiación, debido a la crisis que sufrió Estados Unidos en esa época.

Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco
De la Parra debutó como directora huésped con la Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco (OFJ) en el 2005. En 2010, regresó al Teatro Degollado para presentar su disco Mi alma mexicana en el marco de la gira conmemorativa del bicentenario acompañada de la Orquesta Filarmónica de las Américas fundada por ella misma en 2004.

En 2012, Alondra de la Parra fue nombrada directora de la OFJ. A lo largo de las tres temporadas de conciertos del 2012 con la OFJ, contaron con la colaboración de destacadas figuras como: Stefan Schulz, Pablo Sáenz Villegas, Ana Karina Álamo, Chad Hoopes, Jan Lisiecki, Megan Rose Williams, Carla Dirlikov, Anthony Giovanni Tamayo, Simone Dinnerstein y la soprano Irasema Terrazas, así como los directores huéspedes Kenneth Kiesler, Oriol Sans, Dietrich Paredes y Sergey Smbatyan, entre otros.

Proyección internacional
En 2016 dirigió en París a la Orquesta Nacional de Île-de-France y tuvo como solistas al violinista venezolano Alexis Cárdenas y al grupo de folklore colombo-venezolano Recoveco.

En 2017, el servicio de radiodifusión internacional de Alemania, Deutsche Welle, creó «Música Maestra», una propuesta que comparte en primera persona las experiencias de Alondra de la Parra en formato de video.

En la temporada 2017-2018 dirigió la Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, la Orquesta Sinfónica de San Francisco, la Tonhalle Orchester de Zúrich y una producción de The Winter's Tale en la Royal Opera House de Londres.

Fue la primera mujer en dirigir una orquesta en Australia, cuando en 2017 se convirtió en la directora de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Queensland.

En España, dirigió por primera vez en 2019, en un concierto dedicado a la música latina y el cine junto Orquesta Nacional de España y al pianista Michel Camilo, en el Auditorio Nacional de Música de Madrid. En enero de 2020 Alondra de la Parra debutó en Viena dirigiendo la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio de Viena en la prestigiosa sala de conciertos Wiener Konzerthaus.

En 2020 a raíz de la pandemia originada con el COVID-19 y durante la cuarentena, surgió el proyecto de la Orquesta Imposible. De la Parra se encontraba en México y pensó en algo para ayudar a su país y especialmente a las mujeres, niñas y niños en situaciones de mayor riesgo y de violencia por situaciones derivadas del COVID-19. Todos los ingresos de La Orquesta Imposible serán destinados a dos fundaciones que trabajan para aliviar los efectos de la pandemia en México: Fondo Semillas y Save the Children México.

First, at last, in ISL for champions Belmont Hill
By John McGuirk May 26, 2019
The Sextants finally got back to the top after four straight runner-up finishes in the ISL. (Belmont Hill photo)
The competitiveness level of the Independent School League is so high that often times, it comes down to the final day of the regular season to decide a league champion. Such was the scenario on Friday. Belmont Hill was in control of its own destiny: Beat Buckingham, Browne & Nichols and win the ISL outright, or split it alongside two-time defending ISL title holder St. Sebastian's and Roxbury Latin.
The Sextants didn't feel like sharing, defeating the Knights, 4-1, for their 16th ISL title and fourth for nine-year head coach Mike Grant. Belmont Hill (15-6, 13-2 ISL), after winning three consecutive championships from 2012–2014, were second each of the last four years.
Against BB&N, Tufts University-bound Patrick Walsh, primarily a reliever, pitched a complete-game, three-hit gem with five strikeouts. The Knights threatened in the top of the seventh, putting two runners aboard with two out, but the senior righthander closed the game out with a strikeout.
"Pat is used to being put in tough situations," said Grant. "He has been there all year for us. We had three games in four days, and a couple of injuries to our pitching staff. We really needed Pat to go out and compete for us and go long in the game and that's what he did."

With some slightly warmer weather and the addition of a new construction crew, we were able to get the remainder of the back concrete wall poured.
Our lot is fairly small and is very close to the road, so we had to get creative when maneuvering the chute so that the concrete could flow all the way to the back of the house. It turns out, the easiest way to do it was to have the chute go through the window and across the house. It also meant that the concrete truck had to be parked in the middle of the street (!). Thankfully the house isn't on a main thoroughfare (by any stretch) but we did put a wrinkle in some morning commutes!
Thank you to our neighbors who let a concrete truck hang out in their driveway!
I was out of town for this momentous occasion and don't have actual photos of the concrete chute running through the house or the completed concrete wall, but take my word for it that it is everything you'd imagine a concrete wall to be.
The cottage was originally built by Thomas Munsell in 1831. While I'm sure that Thomas had many interesting and enviable traits, the star of this story is his father, Jacob Munsell. You can read the story in its original form above, but if you need a modern day rendition, continue reading.
That second officer was George Washington.


Nicolas Cage has bought a Bavarian castle called Schloss Neidstein for genealogical reasons.
"Her ancestors are all from good old Bavaria," Cage, 42, tells the German magazine Bunte about his mother, dancer Joy Vogelsang.
The castle's previous owner, Alexander von Brand, 48, says the residence has been in his family since 1466 and he sold it reluctantly. "At the end, we only lived in the castle a few weeks each year," he tells Bunte. "Still, we tried to preserve our heritage and the center of our family."

Mandy Taniguchi/MDN This photo taken in Minot shows the temperature on Dec. 18. Minot and the area have been experiencing an unseasonably mild winter with little precipitation.
The saying goes if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change.
But this winter of 2018 hasn't changed into anything like many past ones with heavy snowfall and extremely low temperatures.
Instead, Minot and area have been experiencing an unseasonably mild winter with little precipitation.
As of mid-December, Minot and the nearby area had less than 11 inches of precipitation since the beginning of the year. That's more than six inches below the long-term average. Other areas throughout North Dakota have had minimal precipitation as well.
"It is going to be warm and there's no precipitation in the forecast for the foreseeable future," National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Abeling of Bismarck told the Minot Daily News in mid-December.
He called the warm and dry weather pattern "almost like a Chinook." An abundance of dry air over the Rocky Mountains was working as a ridge in the upper atmosphere over the northern United States that acts as a barrier to any possible intervention of cold weather.
The current warm spell is not a result of impending El Nino, a warming of sea surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific Ocean. But instead linked closer to weather conditions originating in tropical climates, the Minot Daily News reported on Dec. 14.
"We can't give El Nino credit for this," Abeling told the newspaper.
Although the weather could change to a more normal season of snow, people are enjoying the milder winter temperatures.
Shortly before Christmas, the weather changed again, bringing snow and ice covering streets, driveways and parking lots.
The day after Christmas, those living in North Dakota knew winter was really back when a storm hit the state, dropping several inches of snow in the area and various amonts in other parts of the state.


The river was frozen, water mostly visible above the ice: clear streams meandering through aqua-green gullies, bubbling springs building intricate sculptures, miniature waterfalls tumbling over crystal terraces. On the first day of the New Year, we skied along the river's edge in the warmth of winter sun, watching the water play, listening to its song.
A black spot appeared on the edge of a tiny ice terrace, at the bottom of one of the miniature waterfalls. I skied closer, and the black bit took shape. A shrew. The tiny insectivore appeared trapped between running water and a dark pool, looking fragile and vulnerable surrounded by ice and water and cold. On the edge of the river, I studied the situation, trying to find a way to save this hapless creature who had managed to get itself into such a predicament.
Then – "Oh!" – as if pushed by the stream, the shrew slipped off the ice into the pool, seemingly sucked down, and gone.
And the shrew popped up, back onto the ice terrace, and started munching, the long jaws visibly moving. Then, with a shake of its head, and a thorough swipe with its paws, the shrew cleared its fur of water, and slid back into the pool. After a long minute or so, the little bit of a being reappeared, not only undisturbed by the dippings, but apparently quite content – for the shrew was hunting, diving again and again into the water for insects or other delicacies found below the water's surface.
Later, I learned that this was not just any shrew, but a northern water shrew: Sorex palustris. Here was something I've never witnessed, an animal I've never seen in all of my many years in this landscape. This shrew lives by the water and hunts in the streams, paddling down deep with feet webbed with minute hairs, catching insects, larvae, and even tiny fish.
On the day that marks the beginning of another year, another cycling of seasons, the diversity and wonder of the world was there to witness. Such a small creature, thriving in a frozen world, dining on smaller creatures hidden beneath the icy river. Leaving so many questions… Why there, so far from any shelter? And where, after the "fishing" expedition, where do you go, little one? And could you ever know what wonder you brought on a crystalline, still day in winter, to one weary traveller who shares this planet with you?

The Latest: Poland spying suspect held top cyber jobs
By The Associated Press | Updated - Jan 11th, 2019 @ 10:07am | Posted - Jan 11th, 2019 @ 4:19am
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Latest on the espionage-related arrests in Poland (all times local):
The Polish state news agency says a Polish man who has been charged with spying for China had held top cybersecurity positions at different state agencies and had been involved in projects co-financed by the European Union.
PAP reported Friday that the suspect had worked at three key agencies in Poland. Those included the Interior Ministry, the Office of Electronic Communications, a regulatory body that oversees cyber and other telecommunications issues, and the International Security Agency, Poland's counterespionage agency.
He and a Chinese citizen who is a manager for the Chinese tech firm Huawei in Poland were arrested Tuesday and have been charged with spying for China.
PAP reported that, when the Polish suspect was at the Internal Security Agency, he was involved in building a mobile communications system for top Polish officials. He was fired in 2011 amid a major corruption scandal.
Orange, a leading telecommunications company in Poland, says it's cooperating with the Polish security services who say a Polish employee at the company and a Chinese manager for tech giant Huawei have been accused of spying on Poland for China.
Orange Poland told The Associated Press on Friday that officials from Poland's Internal Security Agency searched the company's headquarters in Warsaw on Tuesday and that as part of operation "we handed over belongings of one of our employees."
The Polish spy agency and Poland's state television, which is closely tied to the Polish government, reported the arrests and the searches at both Huawei and Orange.
Orange told the AP it did not know if the suspicions against its employee were related to his professional duties and that it was working with the country's security agency.
An official at the Chinese Embassy in Warsaw says China attaches "great importance to the detention" of a Chinese citizen in Poland who has been detained and charged with espionage and that a representative of the embassy has met with officials at Poland's Foreign Ministry to discuss the case.
Polish state television reported Friday that the country's Internal Security Agency has charged a Chinese manager at tech company Huawei in Poland and a Polish man who is one of its own former officers with spying for China. The arrests happened on Tuesday.
A spokeswoman at the Chinese Embassy told The Associated Press that embassy representatives have met with officials at Poland's Foreign Ministry and that China urges Poland "to inform China about the situation of this case and arrange a consular visit as soon as possible."
The spokeswoman added: "We require the Polish side to handle this case legally, fairly and properly and ensure the legal rights, interests, security and the humanitarian treatment of the Chinese citizen."
The official spoke on condition of anonymity, saying it was the official position of the Chinese government and that it "doesn't matter" who conveyed the comment.
The official wouldn't comment on whether the suspect is guilty, saying "the Chinese side opposes any speculations and defaming in the absence of concrete facts."
--By Vanessa Gera
Chinese telecom company Huawei is being tightlipped on reports one of its employees has been arrested by Polish authorities on suspicion of espionage.
The company, which makes telecom equipment and consumer electronics, said in a statement that it is "aware of the situation, and we are looking into it."
Polish state TV said that one of two people arrested was a Chinese man identified as Weijing W., who was a Huawei director in Poland.
Huawei said it "complies with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries where it operates, and we require every employee to abide by the laws and regulations in the countries where they are based."
An official says Poland's Internal Security Agency has arrested a Chinese businessman and a Pole on suspicion of espionage.
Maciej Wasik, deputy head of Poland's special services, said Friday that the operation that resulted in the arrest of the two suspects had been underway for a long time and was planned with care.
Wasik said that the Chinese suspect was a businessman working for a major electronics corporation and that the Pole was "known in circles associated with cyber-business affairs."
He said "both carried out espionage activities against Poland."
Polish state TV reported that the Chinese man is a director at Huawei in Poland and that the Pole has worked at the Internal Security Agency, the agency that investigates spying and terrorism
If convicted, they could face up to 10 years in prison.

A post-Christmas post
Christmas has been and gone and we're back to the bling-less state we were in before. Christmas decorations really are about bling, aren't they? As I brought the baubles, tinsel and lights out of the box, I marvelled at how much glitter, shimmer and shine were going to be collected on just one tree. And with Puce in charge of the decorating, it was like Jackson Pollock had been let loose in a glitter factory...
We congratulated her decorating style, waited til she'd gone to bed, unwrapped the tree and started again...spacing the tinsel out slightly further than it had been. We took the time to have the conversation we have every year at this time. Your traditions or mine?
I feel it's important to have a stocking at the end of the bed. It's what I grew up with, it's what a lot of people round here do. Père Noël in France leaves gifts in children's' slippers under the tree and Monsieur R wanted a nod to traditions from his childhood. So we ended up doing a bit of both. Monsieur R assured Puce that Père Noël would probably need a small dram of whisky to keep his strength up...when in Rome...
As for nearly every situation in our family adventure, combining our two cultures provides challenges for the grown-ups that go undetected by Puce. Getting our stories straight is especially important at Christmas time, as there's more at stake and a faux pas could give the game away. For instance, in France, presents at the grandparents' house are not from the grandparents; Père Noël goes round all the people you know and leaves presents there too. When these presents are handed out, I have to bite my tongue and try to remember not to thank les grand-parents in front of Puce, because the presents aren't from them...are they now (wink wink).
Being able to switch between traditions just might help keep them alive slightly longer though. Puce recently announced scepticism as to the existence of fairies, and by extension, the Tooth Fairy. Fearing for Father Christmas, I tried to get off the topic, but the "How...?" had been unleashed and it was getting harder to find answers (how does the tooth fairy squeeze under a pillow?). Suddenly remembering that the Tooth Fairy in France is a mouse, I suggested that maybe it isn't a fairy after all, but actually it's the French mouse...! The idea that a mouse could drag a coin under a pillow and disappear with a tooth somehow seemed more plausible, and Puce went back to dissecting her lunch.

A Very Scary Scene at JFK Airport as Reports of Gunfire Prove False
Hopkins Published: August 15, 2016
This must have been terrifying.
ABC is reporting that two terminals had to be shut down at JFK Airport Sunday night after reports of an active shooter.
The first call came around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, when Port Authority Police received a call of shots fired at JFK's departures area in Terminal 8.
The good news is that reports proved false, however the ordeal surely terrified airport goers as witnessed in the video.
One witness, Navy SEAL Brandon Webb, said that security guards started yelling 'Active shooter', which sent everyone into a panic.
It was just complete chaos at this point. People crying. Nobody seemed to know what was going on. The police seemed calm, but it seemed like they didn't know what to do.
The NYPS confirmed that the terminal had been cleared after midnight with no shots fired.
The chaos did not end there, as another call of shots fired shut down Terminal 1 at JFK and a nearby highway, the Van Wyck Expressway. The Port Authority said in a follow up statement:
Preliminary investigation does not indicate shots were fired at JFK. There are no injuries. At this time, no gun shells or other evidence of shots fired has been found. The terminal was evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
Officials are investigating.

Ellis Paul concert and Woody Guthrie benefit
By Staff Report
Ellis Paul, an Advisory Board member of the Woody Guthrie Coalition, will perform a fundraiser concert for WoodyFest, March 5, at the Crystal Theatre in Okemah, OK.
Paul has a long history with Okemah and the festival, having performed at the first festival in 1998 when he was also made an honorary citizen of Okemah. A WoodyFest "regular", Paul has many connections to Woody Guthrie from sporting a tattoo of Woody on his shoulder, to composing music to Woody's lyrics to "God's Promise", to touring in Jimmy LaFave's Ribbon of Highway, Endless Skyway Woody Guthrie tribute show. Paul has performed at 17 out of 18 of the annual WoodyFests, having missed the 2004 festival due to the birth of his first child.
When asked why he has offered to do this fundraiser, Paul said: "There's a lot of music festivals on the planet. Stages upon stages of strumming, screaming, jumping- thumping song singers trying to reach the world with a three minute soul baring ballad or wild rock song. They play your Newport, your Vancouver, your Lollapalooza….but in my mind, the little festival in a dusty, sometimes muddy, field in Okemah, OK is the best of them all. It's held in the name of a little hobo songwriter named Woody Guthrie. We go there to pay homage to him, to the art form, and to the red dirt from which he sprung. It ain't about money, it's ain't about attention, and it's ain't about fame. But on a weekend in July it's about songs, our community, and Mr. Woody Guthrie, and there's no place I'd rather be."
Ellis Paul
Paul has released 19 albums and is the recipient of 14 Boston Music Awards. He has been performing 200+ shows per year for more than 20 years. His music has been shared with a wider audience as well, through commercials, documentaries, TV shows and in the soundtracks of several films, among them three produced by the Farrelly Brothers. Peter Farrelly summed up the sentiments of all those who have come to know and appreciate Paul's music by referring to him as "a national treasure."
Opening for Ellis Paul will be Susan Herndon. Herndon draws from a reservoir of original material spanning five albums that have long found her sliding with ease from genre to genre. One moment she's covering a Dylan classic in French with delicate fingerpicking on her guitar and the next may find her sitting at a keyboard paying homage to any number of fellow Oklahoma songsmiths, such as Woody Guthrie, Jimmy Webb, Leon Russell or J.J. Cale. Her song "The Bad Roads of Oklahoma" has been described as one of the ten best Route 66 road songs.
A VIP reception with Ellis Paul and Susan Herndon will be held after the show from 10pm to midnight at the Thompson Loft located at 115 W. Broadway, 2nd floor (3 blocks east of the Crystal Theatre – above Pamela's Flowers) for VIP ticket holders. VIP ticket holders will be entered into a drawing for Ellis Paul's original 2015 framed WoodyFest artwork. The drawing will take place at the VIP reception. In addition, VIP ticket holders will receive a gift bag containing a DVD of Woody Sez: A Tribute Concert to Woody Guthrie from the 8th annual festival, the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival 2012 CD Sampler, and Ellis Paul's Live at WERS CD. Food and beverages will also be provided. VIP ticket must be presented for admittance to the reception.
General Admission ($30) and VIP ($50) tickets for the March 5 show are now on sale at Brown Paper Tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2469241. Only 50 VIP tickets will be sold. Online ticket sales will end at 10am Feb. 23, 2016. Tickets can also be purchased at the door the night of the show – unless sold out. Please check the WoodyFest website for ticket updates. Doors will open at 6:30pm for the 7pm show.

Councillors row over where to put skatepark
THE ONGOING saga of a skatepark in Ealing could suffer further delays as a committee will take yet another look at where it should be built.

Gurnell Leisure Centre in West Ealing is currently earmarked for the facility as part of a £500,000 scheme steered by the Labour-lead council.
But Tory opposition councillors have "called in" the decision and the council's Overview and Scrutiny were due to discuss it last night (November 4).
Councillor David Millican, shadow cabinet member for education and young people's services said: "It's not that we're against the Gurnell site, which is a fine location. But we feel that Elthorne Park in Hanwell was a perfectly suitable location for it. We did a consultation and three quarters of residents were in favour of it.
"It appears that the new council has given in to the needs of a few noisy residents. Were it not for them Ealing Council would have had a skatepark by now."
Council leader Julian Bell said: "There were considerable concerns raised by the local school and the local residents association about the location of the skate park. It wouldn't have been built anyway because there were issues surrounding a recent application to have Elthorne Park declared a village green. We'll have a better skatepark in a better location by the summer."
A skatepark has been in the pipeline for Ealing for some time but has suffered major setbacks. An Overview and Scrutiny Committee had already taken a second look at the proposal under the previous administration after opposition Labour councillors raised concerns over building it in Elthorne Park.
There had been strong opposition from residents who claimed that putting it in the skatepark would increase anti-social behaviour and create disturbance for residents.
