On 2 September 1900, on a foggy Sunday morning, a heavy excursion train bound for Atlantic City and a milk train bound for Philadelphia collided on the Reading and Philadelphia track in the little train station of Hatfield, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. 13 people were killed, and almost a half-hundred others were injured. Four men were held responsible. For more information, see The Hatfield Train Wreck of 1900 and The Aftermath of the Hatfield Train Wreck of 1900, articles I wrote about the events on HubPages (that link will open in a new window).
SEE PHOTOS OF AN UNIDENTIFIED TRAIN WRECK - these photos are on another's genealogist's website, and are of a train wreck in Pennsylvania in the early 1900s - it is still not determined what train wreck, but it may be the Hatfield one of Sept. 1900. This link opens in another window.

Current: Anaplasmosis
Anaplasmosis is an infection caused by the bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which is transmitted in Indiana by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The bacterium was previously known by other names, including Ehrlichia equi and Ehrlichia phagocytophilum, and the disease was previously known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE).

The bacteria that causes anaplasmosis is transmitted in Indiana by the bite of a blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). In rare cases, the bacterium may be transmitted by blood transfusion.
Signs and symptoms of anaplasmosis usually appear within 1–2 weeks after the bite of an infected tick. People in the early stages of illness can experience flu-like symptoms, such as:
Fever and chills
Muscle aches
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite
Untreated anaplasmosis can rapidly progress to a serious and life-threatening illness. Older people and those with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop serious illness.
Diagnosis of anaplasmosis is based upon the patient's signs and symptoms, a history of possible exposure to ticks, and appropriate laboratory testing. Early recognition of symptoms is important for prompt diagnosis and treatment. If you think you have anaplasmosis, contact your health care provider right away.
People who have removed an attached tick sometimes wonder if they should have it tested for tick-borne diseases. Although some laboratories offer this testing, ISDH does not recommend it. If the tick tests positive, it does not necessarily mean that you have been infected; if the tick tests negative, it may provide a false sense of security because you may have been unknowingly bitten by a different tick that was infected.
Doxycycline is the treatment of choice for adults and children of all ages with suspected anaplasmosis. Doxycycline is most effective at preventing severe complications and death if it is started early in the course of illness. Treatment should be started for anyone with suspected anaplasmosis and should never be delayed while waiting for laboratory results.
The best way to prevent anaplasmosis is to avoid tick bites. Please see our tick prevention page for more information.
For more information about anaplasmosis, please visit the CDC Anaplasmosis webpage.
Due to the close relationship between the bacteria, cases of anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis are currently reported together in Indiana. For anaplasmosis statistics in Indiana, please visit our ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis statistics page.
National statistics for anaplasmosis can be found at the CDC Anaplasmosis Epidemiology and Statistics webpage.

Armin Orchard in the Carondelet neighborhood is our newest food-producing site! In November 2018 we planted twelve fruit trees on an empty lot in partnership with Armin Properties. The community orchard fosters neighborhood camaraderie and supports our mission to provide healthy food to people in need. When the trees start producing fruit in a few years, we will harvest the apples, pears, peaches, and paw-paws and donate a portion of the harvest to our nonprofit partners fighting food insecurity in St. Louis.

Q: How to change ubuntu one windows location
Possible Duplicate:
Why can't I sync a folder from another partition/drive on Windows?

My C drive is full and ubuntu one is taking a lot of space
Can I change the default location of Ubuntu One folder on windows from c drive to d drive

A: Try moving your ubuntu one folder to the D drive then run this command in cmd
mklink /D C:\path\to\where\ubuntuone\expects\folder D:\path\to\where\folder\really\is

That should make a symbolic link to the ubuntu one folder. As I side note, this is also how I move my steam games to separate partitions.

About Young Jeezy
Gruff-voiced Southern gangsta rapper Young Jeezy, alternately known as simply Jeezy, originally planned on having a background role in the music industry. Years before the South Carolina-born, Georgia-based MC made his solo debut on Def Jam, he set up Corporate Thugz Entertainment and promoted Cash Money releases. From there, he branched out as a label boss and artist in his own right. Come Shop wit' Me, his independently distributed debut from 2003, allegedly sold more than 50,000 copies. As a member of Atlanta's Boyz N da Hood, he was behind a self-titled album that debuted in the Top Ten of the Billboard 200 in 2005. Propelled by the hits "And Then What" and "Soul Survivor," his own Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, released only a month later, performed even better, narrowly missing the top of the Billboard 200. Eventually certified platinum, the album positioned Jeezy as one of his genre's most prominent artists. Through the following decade, he collected additional platinum and gold certifications, several Grammy Award nominations, an unbroken streak of Top Ten albums, and nine Top Ten singles as a featured and lead artist. Jeezy's second Def Jam album, The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102, succeeded Let's Get It in late 2006 and became the rapper's first number one smash. "I Love It" and "Go Getta," its first two singles, went platinum. In 2007, he introduced his U.S.D.A. crew with the album Cold Summer, and then returned to his solo career a year later with the multi-platinum hit "Put On" and its politically minded parent album, The Recession -- his second set to reach number one. In 2010, the single "Lose My Mind" teased the arrival of his fourth major-label release, but a diagnosis of Bell's palsy shifted Jeezy's priorities and delayed the release of TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition until late 2011. Seen It All: The Autobiography followed in 2014 with "Young" dropped from the rapper's stage name. The album was promoted with a charting title track featuring Jay-Z, along with additional guest appearances from Rick Ross and Future. Church in These Streets, released in 2015, was a concept album with Jeezy in the role of an inner-city preacher battling social injustice. Trap or Die 3, his seventh Def Jam album, arrived the next year and topped the charts upon its release. Pressure followed in 2017 with a mix of up-and-coming and established guests, including Tee Grizzley on "Cold Summer" and Diddy on "Bottles Up."

Q: How to upgrade Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 to Update 2? Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 has been released, however it doesn't detail any methods of upgrading from Update 1 to Update 2 - and no updates are shown for it in the 'Extensions and Updates' dialog.
Does anybody know the correct method of upgrading from Update 1 to Update 2?

A: I suppose that they forgot to put it inside the updates, you can download it from their web
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2015-update2-vs.aspx

A: A little late, but it appears you can upgrade through VS now. This seemed to work for me: under Tools > Extensions & Updates...

Weekend in vegas
The Weekend in Vegas slot game is similar in both its look and feel to the 2009 film The Hangover, which was set in Las Vegas. It is powered by Betsoft software, so it has top of the range 3-D graphics. The Weekend in Vegas slot game is a lot of fun to play, and has some great features, meaning players could earn some serious winnings.
First thing players of the Weekend in Vegas slot game will need to do is adjust their bets, by clicking on the 'Choose coin +/-' button. The range is from 0.01 to 0.25. Players can also adjust the number of coins per line using the 'Bet Level +/-' button. There is also an autoplay feature, and a max bet function.
The main characters in the game are Ben, Chris and Larry. If you match three or more reels with these characters, it will activate a bonus round, where each character will have a different opportunity to win some great prizes.
This Weekend in Vegas slot game review will try to list all the bonus features, but compared to a lot of games there are absolutely loads! The scatter symbol is the police car, which is activated when you hit three or more police car symbols. This then gives you a number of free spins, depending on how many symbols you get- three matches will give eight free spins, four scatters 12, and five matched scatter symbols will reward players with a massive 20 free spins. And not only that, the standard pay-outs are doubled during this feature.
There is also a Wild symbol, which is the Fabulous Las Vegas logo. This replaces all the other symbols except for the scatter. In the main game the wild will appear on the second or fourth reel, whereas in the free spins feature it is the second and fifth reel.
If you land the same character on the second and fourth reel, players will trigger an additional re-spin. This will allow you the opportunity to move onto a bonus round, which will increase the likelihood of reaching the second screen bonus round, and some extra wins.
It doesn't stop there, as there is also a Double Up mini game, accessed after landing a winning combination. Here, if you select the double button, you need to predict if the coin toss will be heads or tails. If you guess right, you will have your winnings doubled.
Weekend in Vegas Free play
While the above sounds like a lot of fun, it is also a lot to take in if you aren't experienced with slot games. Therefore, we suggest the Weekend in Vegas free play to start with, as it means you can get to grips with the rules first, without risking any money.
The RTP for the Weekend in Vegas slot game is 96.1%, meaning players have a great chance of securing some winnings.
Our Weekend in Vegas Game Review
Our Weekend in Vegas review is that it is one of the most fun and best slot games out there at the moment. It has so many different bonus features, so players will hopefully strike lucky and get some great winnings.

Rose water is widely used in skin care routines as it soothes the skin, restores moisture, refines pores, heals inflammations, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
You can add rose water in your bath as well. In addition, placing a cotton pad dipped in rose water over sore eyes helps relieve eye irritation. It can also be used as eye drops for tired eyes.
Rosewater has mild astringent, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Besides, it is known to have narcotic, cephalic, and aphrodisiac effects. As it has a gentle, pleasing fragrance, you can use it in a homemade room freshener, too.
To prepare rose water at home, you need to boil two cups of distilled water, pour it in a cup of dried rose petals filled in a heat-resistant glass bowl, and cover with a lid. Let the solution steep for about half an hour.
Finally, strain it with the help of cheesecloth, allow it to cool, and then store it in the refrigerator. You can use this solution for a few days. To make the rosewater last longer, consider adding a tablespoon of vodka in it.
In case you want to use fresh roses then wash the rose petals (remove the stems and leaves) in cold water to remove chemicals before using them. It is best to use freshly picked roses or organic roses bought from a local florist.
Watch this video showing how to make rose water for skin and hair care.
If not interesting in making rose water yourself, you can purchase it from a grocery store or even online. However, keep in mind that commercially available rosewater may contain artificial fragrances and preservatives.
• Prepare a homemade cold cream by mixing four ounces each of extra-virgin olive oil, organic rose water, vegetable glycerin, and two to three tablespoons of milk in a bowl. If the resultant lotion does not seem to have a thick consistency, then add more milk in it.
• Regular application of rose water on hair and scalp helps maintain healthy hair and encourages hair growth.
• You can use a combination of equal parts of rose water and witch hazel as an astringent for oily skin. Regularly applying this solution can help cure blemishes and dark spots, too.
In case you have dry skin, use pure rosewater mixed with glycerin as a toning moisturizer. It also works as a great hand softener. Simply applying plain rose water is good for sensitive skin.
• Another beauty care recipe can be prepared by three tablespoons of rose water with one tablespoon of plain yogurt and two tablespoons of oat flour. You may prepare oat flour by grinding rolled oats in a blender, food processor, or coffee grinder.
Apply this facial mask for about 20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. It cleanses the skin and improves your complexion.
• Soaking in bath water mixed with half a cup of rose water and the same amount of coconut milk is beneficial for getting beautiful, soft skin.
• Massage a mixture of two tablespoons each of honey, sweet almond oil, two teaspoons of rose water, and three drops of vitamin E oil to fight wrinkles and moisturize the skin. Rinse it off after 15 minutes.
• Make a homemade cleansing lotion by adding a quarter cup of organic honey, two tablespoons of liquid castile soap, and a tablespoon of bee pollen in a quarter cup of rosewater.
• You can make a toner for mature skin by adding two-third cups of witch hazel (preferably alcohol-free), a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and approximately eight drops of glycerin in three-fourth cup of rosewater. Pour the solution in a sterilized bottle and shake well before use.
• To soften your hands, prepare a thick paste by slowly mixing two tablespoons of glycerin (slightly heated) in two tablespoons of cornstarch. Next, gradually pour a cup of rose water in it while stirring. Use this mixture as a hand cream.
Apart from skin care, rose water can be used for treating eczema, dermatitis, etc. Moreover, as rose water has a relaxing effect, it helps relieve stress, fatigue, headache, and depression.
In addition, rinsing your mouth with warm rose water can remove bad breath and reduce gum inflammation. It can be taken internally, too.

Historic Ridgewood Townhouse on Bushwick Border With Two Fireplaces Asks $1.7 Million
Oct 26, 2018 • 11:30am
by David Griffin
Sponsored By Halstead
Halstead is a top residential real estate brokerage firm in the New York metropolitan area. Its offices, agents and ownership are locally based and community minded.
Created By Brownstoner LLC
A handsomely renovated townhouse, 1635 Hancock Street is a one-of-a-kind home and a must-see for Brooklyn townhouse buyers. Located just half a block from Bushwick and the Brooklyn border in Ridgewood, Queens, the circa 1910 home is one of four in a Renaissance Revival row.
It's the kind of classic Ridgewood townhouse typically found in the neighborhood's four historic districts, with an attractive orange brick facade, original cornice with dentil molding and swags, and fetching incised stone lintels.
Inside, it's unexpectedly sleek, airy and contemporary while it also seamlessly incorporates charming original details. Not a contractor flip, the home is a labor of love created by the owners, an artist and a contractor, over a decade.
Configured as an owners duplex over a floor-through apartment, the townhouse offers plenty of space and light. The three-bedroom, three-bath duplex apartment opens onto a strikingly appointed parlor floor.
The entry has an historic interior door and original wood stair with newel post and is open to the living room. The living room features wall moldings and a built-in entertainment cabinet.
It flows into a dining room with customized banquette seating for 10. The adjacent open eat-in kitchen has a wood burning fireplace, DuPont quartz counters, Corian center island, polished chrome hardware and GE Cafe appliances.
Double doors lead out and down stairs into the garden, which is landscaped and has a deck built out of wood reclaimed from New York City water towers. There are mature trees, flowering plants, a babbling fountain, and accent lighting.
Upstairs, the garden-facing master bedroom incorporates a dressing room with a wall of custom closets, wood-burning fireplace and entertainment system. The ceiling is 11 feet high with exposed wood beams and a skylight.
The large master bath has a Jacuzzi tub, double vanity and Carrara marble. One of its most remarkable features is its circular skylight with an exposed beam running through the center.
The second bedroom contains a private study and ample closet space while a third bedroom could sleep two or be used as a home office.
High ceilings, hardwood floors, moldings, exposed brick walls and beams throughout impart a unique sensibility that is simple, but striking. Four skylights, three custom commissioned glass chandeliers and wallpaper imported from London contribute to the atmosphere.
The ground floor apartment is equally stylish, with a bedroom, office, and its own garden access. The owners unit has exclusive access to storage and mechanicals on the basement level.
The house has central air and heat, an alarm system, and is wired for sound, with speakers in the ceiling and wall from the living room to the master bath.
Located half a block from the Brooklyn border and Bushwick, the house is close to the L and M trains at Myrtle/Wyckoff and shops and eateries including Nowadays and Houdini Pizza Kitchen. The Lorimoto Art gallery, Superchief Gallery and Trans-Pecos music venue are nearby, as is the soon to open Evil Twin Brewing.
Check out the property in the drone video below. Listed by Halstead's Christian H. Wittmann, the home is asking $1.7 million.

Music and Magical Movement 29 March, 2019
recommended by Jen Sper, School Choral and Classroom Music Specialist
Music and Magical Movement, Oh My! by Katie Grace Miller
Break out the parachutes, ribbons, and scarves, and discover the magic that happens when you bring movement to your listening lessons. These 16 lessons range from Kindergarten to Grade 6 with a variety of genres and styles, from percussion ensemble to parade band. They include an assortment of musical topics, such as long and short sounds with "Carnival of the Animals" and instrument families, that teaching veteran Katie Grace Miller has worked magic with in her classroom or performance opportunities. She offers many of those Mrs. Miller's Magic Tricks here so you can do the same. It's no illusion; try it and be amazed!
Jen Sper has been with Stanton's since 2006. A former middle school and high school choral director, she holds a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Baldwin Wallace College Conservatory of Music. An active choral singer and accompanist throughout the Central Ohio area, she also enjoys good food, running (to counteract the good food…) and the Muppets.

Woody Guthrie, 75th Anniversary, Columbia River Songs 28 March, 2019
recommended by Barb M., Keyboard and Folk Music Specialist
In 1941, Woody Guthrie started working for the Bonneville Power Administration. A film documentary had been proposed to promote development of the Columbia River and hydro-power, and a folk singer who could write songs was wanted to provide the music for it. Alan Lomax, then head of the Folk Archive at the Library of Congress, suggested Woody Guthrie. Woody went out and watched the men building the dam, and he talked to them, listening to the way they spoke and what they said. The gig lasted 30 days, and during that time, Woody had written 26 songs; only three of them made it into the documentary.
The collection Roll On, Columbia: The Columbia River Songs is written for guitar or any other chorded folk instrument, and includes all 26 songs. This is a treasure trove for a folk singer, and a fun book for general music. Check it out!
For more information about this collection, call us at 1-800-42-MUSIC, email us at keyboard@stantons.com, or visit us online at stantons.com. Shop Stanton's for all your sheet music needs!
Barb M. has worked in the Keyboard Department at Stanton's since 1981. An active folk musician in the Columbus area, Barb also works with ensembles at her church and plays in the Columbus State Concert Band. In her spare time, Barb loves working with animals and computer games.
Cross Cultural Options for String Orchestra 27 March, 2019
recommended by Dan C., Orchestra Specialist
Ireland, Scotland and Mexico all have wonderful musical traditions that can be experienced by your string players with these three offerings at the Grade 2-3 level. Stanton's always looks for good teaching opportunities, satisfying parts for all sections and positive programmability in the literature they recommend, and these all meet the qualifications. You can't go wrong with any or all of these top notch titles.
Siesta Dream by David Bobrowitz, Grade 2+
It is obviously Latin, but Bobrowitz steers clear of many of the rhythmic stereotypes, so your students are really going to have to read the rhythms to feel how they fall into the pulse of the piece. They will find the groove naturally, but counting is crucial. The optional maracas will help solidify the beat and with the memorable melody laid over the top, you'll have a wonderful Lain change-of-pace. Dulces sueños!
Annie Laurie arr. David Bobrowitz, Grade 2+
Are you working on expression and finesse with your middle school/young high school players? "Annie Laurie" is the perfect vehicle to help teach those concepts. The well-known tune is heard in the first violins and cellos, but it is the accompaniment parts that will provide practice in making the piece come alive in its exquisite beauty. It's the tremolo, pizzicato, rolling eighth note passages, stretched phrases and lush harmonies all happening unobtrusively under the tune that will bring a collective sigh from the audience as the pieces winds to a close at the final morendo.
Sheehan's Pub Band by Chris Thomas, Grade 3
Sounding as if it is a standard Irish jig, this spritely 6/8 romp is actually an original composition inspired by the composer's visit to Sheehan's Pub in Killarney, Ireland. The melodic material is shared amongst all of the sections, so everyone gets a crack at manipulating the 6/8 rhythms and coordinating the left and right hands. If you are looking for a piece to work on 6/8 at the Grade 3 level, this one is ideal. It is wonderfully melodic and contains all the rhythmic possibilities in that time signature – including a few surprising rests! Fiddle music is one genre that string players can claim as their own – no one else can fiddle like fiddlers! So take full advantage of the uniqueness of string instruments and give this one a try. You won't regret it!
Dan C. has worked at Stanton's since 1979, primarily with orchestra music and print promotions. A "working" musician, he's a classical cellist, a rock & jazz bassist and a folk & country guitarist/singer. His free time is spent with family or reading, gardening, cycling and working puzzles. His series of musical puzzles (RP3 Rebus Puzzle Picture People) can be found on the Stanton's Facebook page each Sunday. He also has a reputation as a pretty good joke teller. Seriously.

New Resources for Preschool Music 25 March, 2019
Celebrations and Seasons by Mari Schay
Celebrate seasons, holidays, and special days throughout the year – and teach music fluency at the same time! These creative activities are specially designed for preschoolers and Kindergartners, and each one lists the appropriate standards from the National Association for Music Education and Common Core. The enclosed CD includes demonstration recordings of each song along with reproducible teaching aids you can use in your classroom. Don't miss these other resources in Mari's "Busy Bodies, Busy Brains" series – The Music In Me and You, Up Up and Away, and Silly and Serious.
Kitty Alone by John Feierabend
"Kitty Alone" is the latest in series of captivating picture books, each based on a beloved songtale from the great American folk music heritage, and collected by John M. Feierabend. This beautifully illustrated book was conceived by illustrator Mina Echevarria, who suggested setting the song in the Appalachian Mountains and using a bobcat as the title character. Since they are rarely seen in the daytime, Appalachian locals refer to the bobcat as the "woods ghost." Here the illustrations create the ghostly bobcat in the evening darkness of the forest encountering several delightful friends. Also notice the red thread that appears throughout. Find it in the last picture…was it all just a dream? Like the other picture books in the series, "Kitty Alone" includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to download the song sung by Jill Trinka at no cost. For more in the series: The Crabfish, The Derby Ram, Father Grumble, The Frog and the Mouse, Jennie Jenkins, Momma Buy Me a China Doll, My Aunt Came Back, The Other Day I Met a Bear, Over in the Meadow, Risseldy Rosseldy, The Tailor and the Mouse, There Was a Man and He Was Mad, and There's a Hole in the Bucket.
Creative Programming: Around the World 22 March, 2019
recommended by Jen Sper and Lora Moore, School Choral Music Specialists
FOR HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR
Akekho Ofano No Jesu arr. Daniel Jackson, SATB divisi a cappella with improvised percussion
"Akekho Ofana No Jesu" is an African tradition song sung by congregations across the African continent. Extremely dynamic with solos and improvised percussion. The middle section includes double choir – but the double choir is optional and simply repeats material that has already been sung. Achievable for a wide variety of levels.
Shlof, Mayn Fegele (Sleep, My Child) arr. Ryan Nowlin, SATB with piano
Here is a beautiful lullaby with words by the Russian poet Abraham Goldfaden beautifully arranged for the concert choir. Sweeping vocal lines, a lush piano accompaniment and shifting harmonies make this a perfect ballad in any program.
Arirang arr. Hyo-Won Woo, SATB with piano & Korean percussion
"Arirang," the beloved Korean song, has been set by one of Korea's best contemporary composers. This arrangement begins with beautiful and flowing vocal and piano lines, then opens up into an exciting rhythmic ending with Korean percussion. A great addition to any program.
FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL CHOIR
De Prosa com o Passarim (Grandma's Chat) by Daisy Fragoso, 2-part treble with piano, flute & optional pandeiro
Here is a whimsical song of a grandmother who can talk to the birds. Using a popular Brazilian rhythm called "chorinho" and singing in Portuguese – along with some nonsense words between the grandmother and the birds – here is a wonderful multicultural song with lots of opportunity to teach rhythm, syncopation, language and geography.
Tumbalalaika arr. Audrey Snyder, 3-part mixed with piano & optional clarinet
The title of this Yiddish folk song informs us that a Balalaika will at least be inferred in the music. This wonderfully authentic arrangement does just that. It also includes a clarinet obbligato (included in the back of the octavo) which is a tip of the hat to the Klezmer band. A Yiddish, phonetic and English text are all provided in the music allowing you to perform this work in any combination of Yiddish or English.
Zum Gali Gali arr. Victor C. Johnson, 3-part mixed a cappella with optional hand drums & finger cymbals
When developing choirs delve into this fresh a cappella setting of the Israeli folk song, they can be assured of enjoying a successful rehearsal and performance experience! The only accompanying instruments are hand drums and finger cymbals, which add authentic flavor and texture to this multicultural gem.
FOR TREBLE CHOIR
Cielito Lindo arr. Juan-Tony Guzman, 3-part treble with piano
Here is a well-known song from Mexico. The piano part resembles the layers of the mariachi ensemble which uses violins, trumpets, bass and several types of guitars. This arrangement was commissioned for "a community that sings!" to promote singing folk songs from around the world and by all levels of singers. This arrangement may be sung in unison, or with three equal treble or low voices.
Indodana arr. Michael Barrett, SSAA a cappella
This highly dramatic traditional African song is a true musical gem, presented a cappella at a slower tempo. Arranged by two South African composers, the ethnic flavor is palpable as a small ensemble carries the melody and the lower voices provide the harmonic underlay. Translation and pronunciation notes are provided.
Scarborough Fair arr. Thomas Juneau, 2-part with piano and optional finger cymbals & hand drum
Made popular as both a folk song and a pop song, this 2-part arrangement of the traditional English folk song is a wonderful tool for teaching part singing. The hand drum and finger cymbal parts add to the style and create a wonderful opportunity to teach rhythm reading. The lush piano accompaniment is independent when it can be and supportive when it needs to be.
FOR TENOR/BASS CHOIR
Kye Kye Kule arr. Greg Gilpin, TB a cappella with percussion
With lively African percussion parts and a straightforward, modular, call-and-response style, this authentic folk song arrangement pulls together in a snap. Solo and duet sections also offer opportunities to feature standout singers. A terrific addition to any program!
FOR CHILDREN'S CHOIR
Who Can Sail Without the Wind? arr. Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid, 2-part with piano & optional violin
"Who can sail without the wind? Who can sail without oars? Who can leave a parting friend without shedding tears?" Beginning in unison and followed by verses of harmonically-driven part singing, this evocative Swedish folk song speaks of enduring relationships and lifelong bonds of friendship.
I Like to Travel! by Brian Tate, 2-part with piano
A fun song with a calypso feel. Engaging young singers in creative ways as they dream of traveling to different places and in different modes – walking, flying, driving, riding. Ideas are included for adding body percussion and Latin percussion. A creative "vehicle" for developing choirs.

For Middle School Jazz Ensemble 20 March, 2019
recommended by Ben Huntoon, Jazz Specialist
A Mi Papa by Matt Morey, Grade 2
An easy latin groove based on the chord changes for Horace Silver's classic "Song For My Father." The rhythm section sets the tone which is joined by the ensemble. This sets up the unison saxophone melody which is punctuated by the brass. Trumpet and Tenor Sax are the featured soloists and written solos are provided along with chord symbols. Plenty of ensemble backgrounds provide security for the soloist. A long ensemble crescendo begins after the soloists and leads to the shout section and finish. Trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff.
Blues You Can Use by David Springfield, Grade 2
This medium swing original for developing groups is a riff-based blues in the tradition of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington bands. The solo section is playable by any instrument with solo sheets provided in all keys, along with scales to assist students in improvisation. Featuring Kendor Konvertible scoring for 9-17 players, each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional flute, clarinet, horn in f, tuba and vibes parts.
Beantown Blues Parade by Rick Hirsch, Grade 1
An upbeat New Orleans second-line groove for your young jazz band. Tempo is around 160 BPM, but it is very accessible. Written melodic solos for trumpet 1 (or section) and trombone 1 (or section) with easy brass ranges. A winner!
Gears by Les Sabina, Grade 2
This chart for developing groups combines old school funk and modal rock, along with a bit of blues-tinged melody. The solo section is written out with solo sheets provided in all keys along with scales to assist students in improvisation.
Sign Me Up by Mike Kamuf, Grade 2
An excellent chart by one of the finest writers of Grade 2 level charts. It's a funky-rock groove at 132 BPM with written-out solos for trombone and alto. Lead trumpet range to written G on top of the staff. A big shout chorus, a stop-time section, and a brief drum solo, too. This chart has all the ingredients for your band to succeed. Optional parts include flute, clarinet, and vibes.
The Golden Striker by John Lewis/arr. Paul Murtha, Grade 3
Formed in 1952, the Modern Jazz Quartet influenced the landscape of contemporary jazz for over 40 years. With elements of classical music blended with cool jazz and blues, "The Golden Striker" epitomizes their elegant brand of jazz. This hard-swinging chart features the unique counterpoint of the original, along with feature spots for the bass, saxes, and an optional open solo section.
Nice 'n' Easy arr. Mark Taylor, Grade 3
Recorded by Frank Sinatra on his 1960 hit album by the same name, this tune has become a standard recorded by countless jazz artists. Rather than the swing style of the original, Mark Taylor beautifully crafts this version as a medium tempo bossa. Cast primarily as a duet for trumpet and alto sax, there is skilled scoring for the entire ensemble throughout.

Creative Programming: Poetry & Masterwork Texts 11 March, 2019
FOR COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY CHOIR
And Sure Stars Shining by Z. Randall Stroope, SATB with piano, text by Sara Teasdale
Embracing the hope that dreams may someday become a reality, this musical setting is actively stirring, with stunning harmonic and melodic moments. It seeks to capture that internal ecstasy and "beyond this world utopia" that was the reality Sara Teasdale so wanted, and seemingly never achieved.
i carry your heart by Eric Whitacre, SATB a cappella, text by e.e. cummings
Written for best friends of the composer and premiered by the LA Master Chorale. The heart of this piece is reflected in the text "i am never without it." This is an intimate text set in an intimate way.
In Flanders Fields by Greg Gilpin, SATB with piano & cello, text by John McRae
One of the best known and oft-quoted poems from World War I, Greg Gilpin's setting of this text is exquisitely solemn, quiet and emotional. The musical interpretation is filled with rich harmonic structures supporting a haunting melodic motif creating beautiful selection for remembrance of veterans at home and abroad.
Songs in the Night by Victor C. Johnson, SATB with piano, adapted from texts by William Blake and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
This artful setting of adapted texts by William Blake and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow features sweeping melodic lines and graceful, gorgeous choral sonorities destined to showcase your treble or mixed choirs. A stunning choice for concert or festival, the accompaniment is rich and lush, one of the many characteristics of Johnson's superb choral writing.
The Music-Makers by Ruth Morris Gray, SAB with piano, text by Arthur O'Shaughnessy
A driving rhythmic accompaniment and an inspiring text based on Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode" create a thrilling piece to both sing and hear. Accessible harmonies make teaching parts a snap, while robust poetry and captivating choral syncopations suggest a concert opener!
There Will Come Soft Rains by Laura Farnell, 3-part mixed with piano, text by Sara Teasdale
Laura Farnell's setting of Sara Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rains" is an elegant choice for concert or festival performance. These profound words are the inspiration for Teasdale's emotional response to war, beautifully set by Farnell.
NEW from Kendor Jazz 08 March, 2019
Kick It by Kris Berg, Grade 2
We welcome Kris Berg to the Kendor family of writers with this fun and energetic chart written in a New Orleans 2nd line groove over a C7 blues. After the band trades licks with the drummer, the chart roars to a big ending, thunderous applause, and your audience marchin' down the aisles! The written or ad lib solo section can be played by anyone. Featuring Kendor Konvertible scoring for 9-17 players, each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional flute, clarinet, horn in f, tuba and vibes parts.
Catwalk by Andrew Neu, Grade 3.5
This chart for advancing groups is inspired by the music of Henry Mancini and the spy movies of the 1960's. This cool minor swing tune features alto saxophone, trumpet and guitar on the melody, and written or ad lib solos for alto and trumpet. It is also the title track for the most recent Andrew Neu Big Band CD "Catwalk" (CGN Records). A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set.
Blues and More by Jeff Jarvis, Grade 3.5
As the title implies, this chart is more than just a blues – it's scored in a blues format, but with a bridge. The tuneful melody is supported by well-articulated and dense ensemble writing. The exciting ensemble parts are supported by rich harmonies and all instruments have interesting material to play. Due to the accessible blues progression, everyone is encouraged to get into the spotlight using the solo sheets provided!
Ever After by David Springfield, Grade 3.5
Written for advancing groups to feature any instrument, this beautiful ballad with trumpets on flugelhorns changes to a double-time Latin feel for the improvisation section. This is an excellent vehicle for a talented soloist from within the band or a featured guest artist. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson, as well as optional vibes is included in each set.
Change Up by Carl Strommen, Grade 1
Based on the chord changes to "I Got Rhythm" by George Gershwin, this bright swing chart was written especially for beginning groups. Brass ranges are accessible with trumpet up to Eb5 and D4 for trombone. Rhythm section parts provide the drummer with a solid concept of what to play, and notated piano voicings and bass lines are provided. The solo section is written out with solo sheets provided in all keys along with scales to assist students in improvisation. Featuring Kendor Konvertible scoring for 9-17 players, each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional flute, clarinet, horn in f, tuba and vibes parts.
Groove Fever by Peter Blair, Grade 1
This swing chart for beginning groups is based on the chord changes to "Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise" by Sigmund Romberg, and made famous by clarinetist/big band leader Artie Shaw.

Featuring Kendor Konvertible scoring for 9-17 players, each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional flute, clarinet, horn in f, tuba and vibes parts.
Hello, Bluebird by Ryan Erik Adamsons, Grade 1
Based on the chord changes to "Bye Bye Blackbird" by Ray Henderson, this swinging chart is a workout for the full ensemble. Written for beginning groups, it's a great chart to introduce swing figures on a jazz standard. Brass ranges are accessible with trumpet up to G5 and D4 for trombone. Rhythm section parts provide the drummer with a solid concept of what to play, and notated piano voicings and bass lines are provided. The solo section is written out with solo sheets provided in all keys along with scales to assist students in improvisation.
Take a Trip With Your Young String Players 06 March, 2019
Not only can you teach new musical concepts to your young players, you can give them some geographical references along the way. Stanton's always looks for pieces that give everyone interesting parts to play along with many learning opportunities, and these are no exception. Travel to Mexico, England and Ireland with these three winners at the grade 1 to 1½ level and bring the audience along for the ride. You could even add a social studies lesson if you'd like.
Sound the Trumpets arr. Deborah Baker Monday, Grade 1
Reminiscent of "Simple Gifts," another Shaker tune, this one was originally called "Mother's Golden Trumpet" and appeared in a collection for Christmas. It could be used on a holiday concert, but would easily fit in any musical presentation. It could also be used within a cross-cultural curriculum. There is some part-independence, with cascading entrances plus always-solid, veteran arranger Ms. Monday scored it especially for equal playing among sections. There are some quirky, odd-measure phrases typical of this "old-timey" music which adds to the charm. Perfect for starting out your second year players at the beginning of the school year.
Huevos Rancheros by George T. Brueh, Grade 1+
Here's a catchy tune inspired by a popular Mexican breakfast! Your first and/or second year players will have a blast with this little Latin loop-de-loop. There are suggestions on the score to help teach the syncopated Latin rhythms. Cellos and basses keep a groove going, but sometimes join the others in rhythmic unisons, and everybody gets to remember where to lay in the C naturals. Buen Apetito!
Where the River Shannon Flows arr. Brian Balmages, Grade 1.5
Young players often like to play loud and fast, but every now and then they need to play sweet and slow to build maturity and musicality plus develop their listening skills and their sense of ensemble. Here is the perfect Grade 1.5 piece to that end. Starting with the eponymous, beautiful Irish love song, Brian Balmages uses his unique orchestrating skills and lush harmonic sense to weave the melody through an increasingly complex series of textures and colors without using any rhythms more involved than quarter notes or any notes out of first position, except for basses. Fourth fingers are recommended in the violins and violas to avoid open strings for a less strident tone. The piece has a natural flow at almost any tempo, but you won't want to take it too fast. The melody in cellos and basses adds some subtle moments of tension as the piece moves toward its glorious climax. Don't let this one slip your attention. It is absolutely stunning.

Choral POPS for Spring 2019 01 March, 2019
Be the Hero (from Big Fish) arr. Mark Brymer, SATB with piano (optional combo)
Be the hero of your story and you will always be the hero that lives on. This perfect little Broadway two beat song is up-beat, positive and full of fun and adventure. A chance for your singers to "tell a story" that highlights the importance of truth, hope and desire. Lessons learned of being the first to embrace the life we live and the life we hope for.
Dream arr. Russell Robinson, SATB a cappella
Written by songwriting legend Johnny Mercer, "Dream" has been covered by artists from Ella Fitzgerald to Michael Bublé. A rubato section in straight eighths opens this rich a cappella setting, before breaking into a moderate swing tempo with finger snaps. A final return to the earlier duple feel leads to a soft, sensitive ending. Perfect for exploring both jazz harmony and stylizations.
Heal the World arr. Mac Huff, SATB with piano (optional rhythm)
With a message that seems to become more important with each passing year, Michael Jackson's 1991 ballad championing the power of healing and acceptance has stood the test of time. A powerful arrangement features four soloists interweaving with the choir leading to a dynamic climax!
This Magic Moment arr. Mac Huff, SATB with piano (optional combo)
First recorded by Ben E. King and the Drifters in 1960, this easy listening love song is here set in a doo-wop style that hearkens back to the 1950s with finger snaps, a doo-wop bass line and a feature for a soloist who can really bring the style. The instrumental accompaniment for two trumpets, tenor and baritone saxophones, trombone and rhythm section is just as stylish as the vocals and together a scene with poodle skirts, bobby sox, duck tail hairstyles and all things cool from the period is set.
Will You Be There arr. Alan Billingsley, SATB with piano (optional rhythm)
Even in live performance this Michael Jackson ballad had a full back up choir of children and adults. Here is a wonderful pop tune written for choir and with a message of love and commitment that will resonate with singers and listeners. This arrangement captures the pop style while expanding on the choral footprint.
Brave arr. Roger Emerson, 3-part mixed with piano
The text of this chart topping song by Sara Bareilles and Jack Antonoff inspires those who sing it and those who hear it. Excellent teaching and rehearsal notes are offered by the arranger making this song a wonderful tool for highlighting the importance of the text and teaching rhythms.
The Lion Sleeps Tonight arr. Roger Emerson, 3-part mixed with piano, optional djembe & shaker
Here is one of the most popular doo-wop songs ever! This arrangement features percussion parts for djembe and shaker, a simple piano part and ranges that are perfect for young singers. The "call and response" form allows for easy learning. Every parent in the audience will know the tune, making it lots of fun for them to join in if they want.
Sing arr. Roger Emerson, 3-part mixed with piano
"Sing of good things, not bad" is certainly a wonderful mantra for all of us and it is the theme of this iconic Joe Raposo song from "Sesame Street." With a driving and rhythmic piano accompaniment here is an incredibly creative arrangement of this positive song.
This Is Me (from The Greatest Showman) arr. Audrey Snyder, 3-part mixed with piano
The biggest hit from "The Greatest Showman" has been arranged for young developing voices in this accessible version. Plenty of unison, easy-to-teach harmonies, comfortable ranges, and solo opportunities make this a surefire selection for your elementary and middle school choirs.
Un Poco Loco (from Coco) arr. Mark Brymer, 2-part with piano (optional combo)
Translating to "A Little Crazy," the lyrics to this song are just that. Full of whimsy and surprises. The verse text is in English while the repeated lines are in Spanish. A fun hand-clapping section lends itself to movement if desired and the repeated sections make this easy to learn.
Songs of a Disney Hero (Medley) arr. Alan Billingsley, SSA with piano (optional combo)
Show your mettle and embrace your inner hero with this medley of Disney songs of bravery and adventure. Whatever the task, your choirs will be up to it as they are taught lessons of valor as only Disney movies can! Includes: "How Far I'll Go," "Touch the Sky," "Reflection," "When Will My Life Begin?" and "Zero to Hero."
Think arr. Mark Brymer, SSA with piano (optional combo)
From the undisputed Queen of Soul, this is one of Aretha's iconic songs and always listed as one of the greatest pop & R&B songs of all time. This arrangement stays true to the style and allows your students a chance to dig into this important style.
Walking On Sunshine arr. Mac Huff, SSA with piano
Here's a sunny blast from the past! This 1985 hit by Katrina and the Waves is a super choice for pop and show groups.
Summertime arr. Roger Emerson, SSA with piano
Unlike the original ballad heard in the opera "Porgy and Bess" and sung by a high soprano, here is an easy swing rendition placed in a key that is comfortable for developing voices. The section with a written out scat solo can be easily repeated for those choirs learning to improvise.
Fight the Dragons (from Big Fish) arr. Greg Gilpin, TBB with piano (optional rhythm)
From the Broadway musical "Big Fish" comes a song about finding the adventure in everyday life, as well as the bond between father and son. Greg Gilpin has designed this well-fitted feature for men's ensembles that is equal parts strength and sensitivity. Great messaging for guys!
I'm Still Standing arr. Pete Schmutte, TTB with piano (optional combo)
British rocker Elton John made this famous in 1983 and stated that it was "my reaction to still being relevant and successful in the early 1980s." The message rings just as clear today with rock and roll still ruling the music scene, generation after generation. Instrumental parts available for a powerhouse performance.
Valentine arr. Jacob Narverud, (T)TBB with optional piano and rhythm
From the pop group Train's album "A Girl, A Bottle, A Boat" comes this '50s throwback for today's generation to enjoy. Set either accompanied or a cappella, Jake Narverud has captured the novel sound of the original recording with this mixed voiced setting. Pure fun and great musical learning!
Good Vibrations arr. Mark Brymer, TTBB with piano (optional combo)
Rated by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the top 500 rock songs of all time, "Good Vibrations" is a rock classic. This arrangement builds on the happy "rock shuffle" groove and the now legendary harmonic progressions of the Beach Boys.

Cleartech Group Ltd were engaged by SSE to carry out a Legionella risk assessment, HVAC commissioning and water treatment at an SSE Power Station Depot in Orkney, Scotland. Continuous communication and significant planning between our head office in East Kilbride, our engineers, the mechanical engineer at SSE, as well as, the Orkney site team were pivotal in the successful completion of the risk assessment, ventilation commissioning and chlorination works. Having completed our services, we received positive feedback from the SSE team, regarding the planning and effort that went in to the project, as well as the service that our engineers provided on site.
Our scope of works included an injection disinfection of new installation hot and cold water services, completed to BS8558 specification. Our engineers then took potable water samples, which were then tested at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Our HVAC commissioning services included carrying out the ventilation balancing of Ex Fans and Ex Grilles, as set out in the project specifications. All works were completed as per C.I.B.S.E code 'A'.
The Legionella risk assessment was carried out as per all current L8 ACOP regulations and was completed in order to determine the risk of Legionella bacteria growing in the water systems within the depot. The risk assessment document includes; site survey data and asset register, observations with photographic evidence, a risk rating, recommendations to reduce the risk, a schematic drawing of the water system and a Legionella monitoring regime.
As the only HVAC commissioning company in Scotland that are members of the Legionella Control Association, Cleartech are able to provide HVAC commissioning, water treatment and a Legionella risk assessment as a package, which in turn reduces the supply chain, saves time and allows communication between client and subcontractor to run more efficiently. We employ a team of highly qualified engineers and risk assessors that will cater each project to the needs set out by you, the client.
For further information or advice on HVAC commissioning, Legionella compliance and water treatment, or for a quote, call today on 01355 267199, send an email to info@cleartech.org.uk or submit a contact form on our website.

The Singapore Ministry of Education started introducing Internet of Things (IoT) to secondary schools in 2016. The smart home system manufactured in Poznań by FIBARO is used for education. Currently, there is ongoing regular work on the next step – including FIBARO solutions into universities programmes. On the basis of FIBARO equipment and smart home system, Singapore will conduct research on building and home automation.
Currently, 6 secondary schools have classes in their program with FIBARO smart home system, and another 5 will be included in the project during this year. Skills acquired by pupils will be verified in a national examination. Young Singaporeans will enter the market with exceptional knowledge which in Poland can only be acquired through professional experience.
Each of the secondary schools participating in the program received 13 smart cases and one professional laboratory each. Suitcases include a smart home HUB – Home Center 2, motion sensor or lighting and its intensity management devices i.e. Dimmer 2 or the Double Switch. Initiative is part of the Singapore Smart Nation program launched in 2014. Its aim is to exploit the potential of technology i.e. to increase the ability of people to respond to market demand by teaching them top notch technologies.
Use of Polish technology to educate young people by official government in Singapore inculding the international success of FIBARO as a brand, prove that Polish engineers really have a lot to offer to the world – adds Banasiak. — As in Singapore, we encourage educational activities at the level of vocational schools, technicians and universities in Poland. Of course, our dream is a nationwide scale, so that every young Pole can acquire skills that will help them find themselves in a life packed with variety of technologies and let them use the knowledge gained at school as their true profession.
FIBARO has collaborated with Singapore universities such as Nanyang University of Technology, Republic of Technology, Singapore University of Technology and Design. Within the walls of the last of these institutions, FIBARO system serves research in the field of building automation and office space. Domestic automation issues discussed on the basis of the Polish smart home system were brought to the syllabuses of the Institute of Technical Education (since 2018) and the Ngee Ann University of Technology (since 2019).
According to IDC research company's forecasts, the average annual growth rate in the global smart home market is expected to reach 18.5% and the total number of devices sold will reach 939.7 million. This means high demand for qualified installers. Introduction of the Internet of Things into universal education is therefore justified. Until now, FIBARO has trained and certified nearly 2300 installers in Poland as part of its own activities.

"Making is the most powerful way that we solve problems, express ideas, and shape our world. What and how we make defines who we are, and communicates who we want to be."
We are excited to announce the acquisition of a major research grant to develop a new touring exhibition about making in Australia. In this project we will explore the universal act of making in all its forms, from traditional craft through to the application of new technology and techniques in contemporary craft and design.
Collaborating with regional galleries and the research assistance of Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences (MAAS), this project will uncover stories of making in Australia.
This project is supported by Visions, an Australian Government program that provides funding assistance for the development and touring of cultural material.
More on this exciting project soon!


By PSCU, NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 9 – President Uhuru Kenyatta Tuesday held talks focusing on development and the 'building bridges' initiative with leaders from five counties in Western Kenya as well as leaders from the Wiper Party.
The separate talks were attended by two principals of the National Super Alliance (NASA), Kalonzo Musyoka who is the leader of Wiper Party and Moses Wetangula who heads Ford Kenya.
President Kenyatta first held lengthy discussions with leaders from Western Kenya where talks focused on the road map for the realization of the Big 4 Agenda, the fight against corruption and the building bridges initiative.
The Western Kenya leaders who attended the meeting included current Governors, Senators and MPs.
Also in attendance were former Vice President Moody Awori, former Speaker of the National Assembly Kenneth Marende , former Minister Cyrus Jirongo and two current MPs from Nairobi, Tim Wanyonyi (Westlands) and George Aladwa (Makadara).
NASA co-principal and Amani National Congress party Musalia Mudavadi sent his apologies through Wetangula who is also the Senator for Bungoma.
The leaders said they would support the government in achieving its development goals and in the ongoing fight against corruption and economic crimes.
The revival of sugar companies in Western Kenya was top of the agenda with President Kenyatta giving a one month deadline to a team working on a revival plan for Mumias and Nzoia sugar mills to complete their assignment and present the way forward.
"I am certain that within one month, we shall have the way forward on how to revamp the sector and where to invest more money," said President Kenyatta.
He said the government cannot continue pumping more money to these companies because the money goes to endless pits.
"We need a revival plan that works. We also need regulation that work. We cannot continue pumping money to the companies that goes to endless pits," said the President.
President Kenyatta said the report on the revival of the sugar sector will provide a clear position on how to move the sector forward and how to assist sugarcane farmers.
"It is our own mismanagement that has resulted in this," said the President adding the only intervention the government will address itself to urgently is the payment of farmers.
Former VP Awori said corruption was the main reason for the collapse of the sector in the Western sugar belt.
Wetangula called for a firm government policy that checks on imported maize and sugar to ensure cheap imports do not destabilize local production.
Later in the day, President Kenyatta hosted talks attended by all Wiper Party leaders led by Musyoka.
Wiper Party leaders who spoke at the meeting said they fully support the President's 'Building Bridges Initiative' which seeks to unite all Kenyans.
Musyoka said the party leadership had passed a resolution to work with the Government.
The Opposition leader said Wiper is the third largest party in the country and has resolved to work closely with the President in the achievement of the Big 4 Agenda.
He said the party is also fully behind the President's fight against corruption.
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr said Kenyans fully appreciate the government's development agenda as illustrated through the Big 4 Agenda including efforts being made towards the realization of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
In his remarks, President Kenyatta said his building bridges initiative is helping detoxify the politics of Kenya.
"Our politics has been toxic and poisonous for far too long. We want to have competitive politics but we want to detoxify the politics," said the President.
President Kenyatta said unity is required to achieve the country's socio-economic goals and thanked Wiper Party leaders for joining hands with him to drive forward Kenya's development agenda.
The President said the Jubilee Government supports the idea of inclusivity of all Kenyans because unity is the best platform for a stronger nation.

Let's put aside nationality, caste, ethnicity, and religion and come together as one
Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez who hails from Sri Lanka has finally broken her silence on the blast which took in her country on Easter Day. The blast was a shocker for the entire world as more than 250 people lost their lives. However, now the actress took to her Instagram account and posted an emotional video, Jacqueline explained that she needed some time to completely grasp everything that she was feeling about the horrific blasts.
"So, I am making this video to share my thoughts on what happened last week in Sri Lanka. To be honest, I needed some time to fully comprehend what I was feeling and to fully comprehend what had happened. it was very difficult for me to understand why so many innocent lives had to be taken many of which were children," she said in the clip.
Jacqueline urged her fans and followers to unite and stand with the victims. "Terrorist attacks like these are unfortunately very unpredictable. They also seem to be completely out of our control and there seems to be very little that we can do about them. I do believe however that we can do one thing, we can unite and we can support a nation that has suffered tremendously in the past week," she said.
"I have teamed up with an organization called Trail. Trail is currently helping all the victims of last week's tragedy, rebuild our lives. So I would like to take this opportunity to ask all of you to please join me in uniting as one and helping these victims rebuild their lives. Let's put aside nationality, caste, ethnicity, and religion and come together as one," she added.
Jacqueline also requested everyone to "not give up on humanity". "I'd also like to say let's not give up on humanity, let's not allow fear and anger to dictate how we react and how we feel and what we are thinking. Sri Lanka, please stay strong, stay positive and more importantly, please stay united," she said.

The game came down to a dramatic, almost-unbelievable final play, in which Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa found receiver DeVonta Smith in the end zone, swinging the win to the Crimson Tide.
The Alabama Crimson Tide are national champions once again after defeating the Georgia Bulldogs 26-23 in dramatic fashion on Monday night.
Led by backup and true freshman Tua Tagovailoa, who came into the game at halftime and provided a spark to the Crimson Tide offense, Alabama mounted a second half comeback to tie the game at 20 in the fourth quarter.
After kicker Andy Pappanastos shanked his attempt as the clock expired, the game went to overtime, where Tagovailoa once again lifted the Crimson Tide with his best pass of the game, finding DeVonta Smith in the end zone and secure the title for Alabama.
From the Georgia side of the ball, things were obviously a bit different, as the inevitability of the touchdown can be felt in the announcer's voice while the ball is still in the air.
Both Alabama and Georgia are full of young talent, so there's a chance both booths will be in a position to make the call on some similar excitement next season. Until then, congratulations Crimson Tide.
