Franklin County Ohio CATCH Court: Hope for Former Prostitutes
The CATCH (Changing Actions to Change Habits) court in Franklin County is doing something that more institutions in the judicial system should do. This court serves to try to help women who have been arrested for prostitution, instead of condemning them. The court views them as victims, not as criminals.
Where Is the CATCH Court?
The CATCH Court is a specialized docket that is located at Franklin County Municipal Court. The address is 375 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215. You can get information by calling the main line (614) 645-8214.
Judge Herbert's Mission
Judge Paul Herbert started the court because he started seeing that the women coming in on prostitution charges were exhibiting the same problems as domestic abuse victims. He changed his view from thinking these women brought their problems on themselves by joining the "world's oldest profession" to seeing them as human trafficking victims. One day he saw a woman come in with bruises and thought it was a domestic violence victim. He looked down at the file and saw she was a defendant — "prostitution," said the charge. It hit him that these women had the same bruises, broken bones, hair pulled out in clumps, and black eyes. He had to do something about it. Think about the statistics: 100% are chemically dependent, they are raped an average of 6 times, and they average 13 arrests over a two year period. Judge Herbert wanted to break the cycle and provide a path to rehabilitation for those women who could do the work through it.
Who Is CATCH Court For and What Is the Program Like?
Women who choose to must complete a two year program, and if they are successful, their prostitution charge will be dropped. The women must first plead guilty to the charges. Then they must enter a counseling program to address their problems including mental problems, substance abuse, and lack of education. They need to remain sober and stay off of the streets. Once a week, these women must meet once a week in Herbert's courtroom over a potluck meal where they update him on their progress. During the week they do a number of things to help them stay on the straight and narrow including taking classes, going to therapy, and speaking with probation officers.
Does CATCH Court Work?
The statistics show the program is working. Dr. Karen Miner-Romanoff at Franklin University looked into the results from 2009-2013 and noted a drop in prostitution arrests from 1,745 in 2009 to 1,129 in 2013. She found that 77% of graduates of the program had no new arrests. This not only helps women in the county, but it saves on taxpayer money as well. Really, this comes down to treating people like human beings worth helping, not as society's throwaways. The program is an overall success for the Franklin County community.
Columbus also has a "John" school for men arrested for soliciting a prostitute.

Q: When are LOCAL static variables initialized I keep on seeing the same sentence that static variables are initialized only once, and I also saw a sentence stating that "when the block is entered for the first time".
Are local static variables initialized like other global variables - at the start of program execution? Or do local static variables differ from normal globals, and only get initialized once their function/block is called/reached?

A: C17 6.2.4 (3)

An object whose identifier is declared without the storage-class specifier _Thread_local, and either
with external or internal linkage or with the storage-class specifier static, has static storage duration.
Its lifetime is the entire execution of the program and its stored value is initialized only once, prior
to program startup.

However, remember the as-if rule.  An implementation could wait to initialize the variable until the first call to the function, as a conforming program has no way to access its value before then, and so would not be able to tell the difference.
If you have an implementation with extensions or implementation-defined behavior that do provide a way to access the variable before the first call to the function, then such an implementation ought to document whether you would see the initialized value in such a case.  In most cases I would expect the answer to be "yes".
The most common implementation I'm familiar with is to load the initial value from the executable, or to place it in a bss section that is zeroed at startup, just as is done for global or file-scope static variables.

A: Although implementation dependent, static variables - any scope - are initialized as the executable is loaded.

Beyond the Binary: Trans* History in Early America
January 30, 2015 May 6, 2015 / Historiann
Fall 2014 special issue
Rachel Hope Cleves has a detailed and interesting report on a panel she convened earlier this month at the Annual Meeting of the American HIstorical Association in New York City over at Notches: (Re)marks on the History of Sexuality. This panel was an outgrowth of a special issue of Early American History she edited for Fall 2014 on the subject of Beyond the Binaries: Critical Approaches to Sex and Gender in Early America.
Cleves describes each of the four panelists' contributions, describing their work on flexibly-gendered or trans* people and describing the conversation among the panelists and the audience on the salience of gender binaries as well as the value of reading trans* identities into the more distant past of early America. I thought this exchange was particularly interesting on the question of viewing early America as a "golden age" of gender flexibility and trans* possibilities:
Questions from the floor followed, sparking productive disagreements. Questions from Kathryn Falvo, Maddie Williams, and Jesse Bayker, pushed [Sean] Trainor's observation of the optimistic bent of the special issue. Trainor suggested that variations in the expression of masculinity in early America need not be treated as "assaults" but could be understood as tolerated iterations. [Greta] LaFleur stressed that her attention to the wide-range of non-binary gender expression in early America was not optimistic but intended as a corrective to the paucity of alternative stories. She announced herself willing to work in the speculative mode, not just the declarative. [Scott] Larson went further, insisting that he felt an ethical imperative to make bold claims for trans* history, and to escape the "land of caveats" in which academic history often operates.
I completely understand Trainor's concern about the "golden age" fantasy, but I hold more with LaFleur and Larson. Sometimes we need to work in the speculative or even possibly fantastic mode in order to imagine other possibilities in the past. In the end we're all historians and therefore very committed to using evidence to build our arguments, but a game of "let's pretend" can open our eyes to evidence that's sitting right before us if we're only open to reading it from a fresh perspective.
Read the whole thing. I wish that blog attracted more comments, but their comments section is never very active. I understand why they moderate the comments given the subject of the blog, which can attract a great deal of ugly spam and intentionally hateful or aggressive comments.

Thanks for the feedback Ann. I loved both Greta's comment about speculative vs. declarative modes of writing, and Scott's comment about going beyond the land of caveats. Jen Manion also made a pitch from the audience for picking up on Leslie Feinberg's inclusive approach to trans* history in _Transgender Warriors_, which academics have tended to dismiss as insufficiently historicist. I think there's a connection here to be made to arguments by Judith Bennett and Valerie Traub about the value of continuity, which is an argument I pick up on in an article coming out in the JAH in March. I'm interested to hear what your readers make of these debates.
Congrats on your JAH article! I will be interested to see that when it comes out.
Jen Manion
Hi Historiann –
Thanks for getting this going. It was an interesting discussion, one that I hope more historians join. Work coming out of queer/trans history is so exciting and offers many tools for historical inquiry but sadly few women's/gender historians are engaged with them. Though I do interpret many trans/passing narratives optimistically, as "narratives of possibility," I also propose a much more dramatic challenge to historians writing about groups of people known as men and women as if those are stable categories that we even understand! Best, Jen Manion
Jen, it's good to hear from you. I'm all for dramatic challenges to historians! I liked Scott Larson's point that "the binary was accommodating, and that gender required a great deal of flexibility to remain durable."
Maybe thinking along these lines will help us get out of our Arrested Development narratives about "masculinity in crisis?" Just as the peasants are always revolting and the middle class is always rising, books about manhood and masculinity are all about the "crisis." Yet somehow men remain on top with most of the wealth, and patriarchy thrives.
(And I'm not outside the tent peeing in–I wrote one of those books!)
And YES YES YES to your point about women's & gender history, and the heteronormativity of early American women's history. Interested readers will also want to check out your other Tumblr space, Crossing Gender, on trans* in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
Ha ha – yes Ann. Oh course I say this as someone who recently completed a manuscript full of men and women and masculinity in crisis, too! It is obviously much easier said than done but I think productive insights will come in the process of even trying to apply critical trans theories to our work. I loved what you did with cultural cross-dressing in your book – we do need more space to be creative thinkers as historians! Obviously let's not ignore Susan Stryker who has seriously ignited this field and is actually trained in19th c US history!
Pingback: News and Announcements |
History ignoramus here. This was very new to me. Like most people now, I suspect, I assumed gender was more rigid in the past, not less.
I've had very much the impression that women could do exactly A, B, and C, and never step out of any bounds. Were most of these "tolerated iterations" among men?
Quixote–you might be interested in Cleves's book Charity and Sylvia, which describes a loving partnership that was accepted by their neighbors in Vermont as the equivalent to a marriage. However, the older woman, Charity, suffered some social opprobrium from some of the communities she lived in as well as within her own family for her rejection of traditional marriage, her attraction to other women, and her refusal to perform care work in her birth family.
Queer history is a great illustration of what happens when we start asking different questions & look at some of the same evidence we've known about for a long time with these questions in mind. New questions also inspire historians to dig up previously overlooked stories & evidence.
Interesting! I'll have to look up Cleves's book, and some of the others mentioned earlier.
Onni Gust
Thank you so much for keeping this debate going and for the reference to other resources. It's vital for trans and gender non-conforming people in the present and future that as historians we re-assess assumptions about, and narratives of, gender in the past. I've found Afsaneh Najmabadi's work, and especially her essay "Beyond the Americas" to be really helpful in rethinking the gender categories that we work with and for a very honest grappling with the difficulties of going beyond the binary.

The evolution of the Mercedes-Benz SL can be sliced countless ways: From sales (518,000 and growing) and design (those ever-evolving sculptural shapes) to technology (folding hardtops, etc.) M-B's flagship roadster has earned its self-described status as the longest running car model* with a six decade span, a streak that was initiated by the steel-tubed, W194-series 1952 race car-- a replica of which is seen here-- which inspired the Sport Leicht (Sport Light) designation.
Sixty years later, Mercedes celebrated the new 2013 SL550 by installing a private display at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California with oldies-but-goodies like the stunning 1957 300SL once owned by Natalie Wood, a Studio 54-era R107 (accented by a disco ball), and a cute lil "Pagoda" 230SL. The Hollywood tribute cites the SL's 150+ appearances in film and television, and Mercedes plans on extending the celebration at the upcoming Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
Appropriately enough, the new SL reverts somewhat to its roots by shedding nearly 300 pounds, thanks to an all-aluminum chassis; while the SL550 boasts plenty of drool-worthy tech, the older examples certainly make us pine for the days of shorter wheelbases and simpler silhouettes.


For experiment results to be readable, goal names need to be short. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to describe a goal accurately in just a few words.
For example, I am currently setting up a goal that tracks wiki edit submissions, but only on certain pages. The name "Edit submission" is misleading, because not all submissions count. A longer, more descriptive goal name would be better, except that this would make the results page difficult to read—long names cannot be easily skimmed and when a goal name is long, scrollbars appear and part of the name is hidden.
An optional goal description would allow an experiment creator to share additional detail without hurting readability.
I've sent a few feedback messages with exactly this request. Some times the goals are nuanced and, as you said, you can't fit everything you need into the title.
If you're looking at results and want to see the exact definition of a goal, you currently have to go edit the experiment, then click on goals, then click "view" or "edit." That's three clicks... Plus the several more clicks to go back to the results page, by which time you'll hopefully not forget the goal details.
The "Audience" tab on the dashboard view solves this exact problem for audiences, so a similar "Goals" tab would be fantastic.
In my point of view the goal description feature is very important (inside of the goal layer & not the description in the goal tab - nobody take a look at this area)!
Because very often it isn't possible to create a goal with a name where I can discripte every detail. For example a custom event that fires out when a overlay pops out after X secounds.
In the moment we solve this problem with an external goal documentation, but this couldn't be the best soultion for such a tool.

...when ma in her kerchief, and I in my hat, had just settled down for a long, winter's nap.
Normally, I invite friends down to my lake house in Lake Isabella for Christmas.. .But this year, after travelling around the world twice, releasing a new album, new video, 3 scholarships, and my 'day job' (which some of you don't know about) running a construction company with 10 employees, and real estate investment, I needed a break!
The next day, I went up to the local ski resort - Alta Sierra - a cool, little 2-lift, family-run resort that's 20 minutes from the house. . That was Christmas eve. Perfect. Today, Christmas day, I went cross-country skiing - about 8 miles round-trip, from Greenhorn Summit to Black Mountain Saddle and back. NOBODY was out there. It was just awesome.
Speaking of which, even on Chrstmas day, the hot springs were relatively quiet. These natural hot springs are right on the Kern River. What a great way to end of day of pushin it out on the trails.
And so, my long, winter's nap will end tomorrow, but it's been just what the doctor ordered. Good fun, good food, good movies (I rented a bunch of cool, old, Japanese movies like Enjo, Woman in the Dunes, Dreams, et al).
Hope you all had a Christmas that was just what you'd hoped for, too.

Q: Prevent ts files from being sent I am using node JS with Angular-CLI, and I saw my .ts files are being sent to the client via HTTP. for example http://localhost/main.ts will send user my main.ts files.
As I understand it, ts is being transpiled into js file before sent to browser, am I correct? If it is so, how can I prevent .ts being sent, and make server only send .js files?
Thank you

A:
TL;DR: Try run the project with ng serve -prod --aot

For an Angular-cli project.. when you are done with development and you are finally ready for realworld users to use your app, you should run ng build -prod --aot in the root of your project.. This will create the dist directory in your project root containing the actual final javascript files and html assets that are meant to be served to users via regular HTTP (using a production webserver such as e.g. nginx or apache). Note that there will be no .ts files in inside this final dist directory.
Adding -prod flag ensures that it will be optimized for production .
The --aot flag is for Ahead of Time compilation.

There is a recent chess book for chess grandmaster preparation called "Calculations" by Jacob Aagaard in which he talks about calculation theory in a very broad sense. I believe that such an approach is a worthwhile study so I have paraphrased and adapted his thoughts for the game of go as follows.
Why do we need to focus on calculation ability? It's because when you don't know where to play next, analyzing the position is the tool which will give you the greatest success.
So how should we practice calculations? The best way is probably to concentrate on training material which is just above your own skill level because improvement starts where your comfort zone ends. And you need to have the determination to do your training regularly because all improvements are incremental. No one starts naturally as a 9d, they build up their skills one step at a time. To reach a goal you set, the amount of work needed to reach a goal is almost always underestimated by 25-50%. You really need to do the necessary work for your goal to see significant improvement. Remember that concentration and determination are the most important aspects of calculation.
So what are the eight core calculation techniques we should focus on?
There is an art in seeing before thinking. Right away, we may see two or three ideas in any position we meet, but there is no guarantee that they are the best moves. We should therefore train ourselves to look for additional ideas and end up with a list of interesting items to check out. As we go through the list, ideas from one line may prove very useful in another line or perhaps help in calculating the right order of sequence.
There is rarely any really new ideas under the sun. Most every combination is mainly a rehash of well-known patterns. Therefore you need to spend significant amounts of time training and solving tsumego and tesuji to build up your own combinational vision.
Putting yourself in your opponent's shoes, you must be aware of their ideas and how they might counter your ideas. You must figure out whether your opponent intends to attack or to defend and include their ideas in your thinking.
You must be able to compare similar decisions and work out the differences between them. This can range from obvious advantages to subtle ideas which make all the difference in the game.
Sometimes it is useful to look for defects in ideas and eliminate them from our thinking. This pruning is especially useful in defense.
Tenuki, tenuki, tenuki. Many opponents think long and hard and make assumptions about how they think you will move. You should always be on the lookout for ways to think outside their box and how to throw a spanner into the gears of their thinking.
Imagination is the discovery of surprisingly strong moves which reveal the true nature of a position rather than just the obvious moves. Many people think that imagination is a natural ability and cannot be trained. Wrong, imagination is acquired just like any other skill. And it can be accomplished with proper training in developing tactical and strategical abilities together with solving hard go problems.
Setting traps is usually a poor way to play. As you end up only hoping for a mistake by your opponent. But nevertheless, it is a useful skill to turn to if all else fails.
— What is important in the current position? Do things still go according to the plans you formulated two moves ago?
— Define your aim and what you are planning to achieve.
— How much time do you want to invest on a move? Since most go games are played with a time limit, you must think about how to ration the time you use to calculate moves which are difficult to decide.
— Focus on the now and leave decisions about the future for when it comes. You end up saving time which you might have used for doing much needless calculations which bear no fruit.
— Quality calculation over quantity calculation. Calculate a bit slower but make sure it's only on variations which are needed.
— Ask yourself if it is really necessary to calculate a variation deeply before doing so. New ideas at the start are worth much more than refinements at the end of variations.
— Structure your thinking to be effective. Don't let your brain rove round and round different lines several times over. Master your mind and emotions rather than letting them master you.
— Don't assume. Assumptions play nasty tricks on you from time to time.
— Check the order of sequence. The wrong order of sequence can be just as deadly as playing the wrong moves.
— Make up your mind and just do it. Often times, what you decide on first after your calculation is superior to moves which you change your mind for. And you don't want to end up with time trouble either.
— Have a firm evaluation of each variation to make easier decisions.
— Calculate only until you come to a definite conclusion and stop going deeper thereafter.
— Calculate half a move longer. Don't jump to conclusions on what looks natural. Calculate a brief moment longer and look for candidates which might help avoid nasty surprises.
— Step back and try to see what you might have missed. At times, you may go so far down a track that you miss something important. Don't be afraid to backtrack when needed but don't run round and round in circles.
— Recheck your analysis as ideas from one line may prove useful in another line.
— When winning, keep things simple; When losing, make things complicated.
— Focus on what you can change and control on the board and try to make the next move you play a good one. During a review you may find many things you may have missed, but before you have finished the game, you need to focus on the now.

Farha – Film Review | TIFF '21
Posted bycruzifried22 October 4, 2021 October 4, 2021 Leave a comment on Farha – Film Review | TIFF '21
Based on true events.
Set in 1948 Palestine, Farha tells the story of a 14-year-old girl (Karam Taher) whose dreams of receiving a formal education are taken away from her due to the start of what would come to be known as the Nakba (the catastrophe). Confined to a small supply room, Farha watches as the world she knows crumbles apart and must find the strength within herself to carry on despite her dire circumstances.
Right out of the gate, it must be said that Farha is an achievement not just in storytelling, but acting, directing, and commitment to preserving historic events from the perspective of those involved. It is incredible that this is writer and director Darin J. Sallam's feature film debut because everything here just works. Outside of the performances, Sallam's attention to detail with their directing is one of the reasons the story is as poignant as it is. Each scene is allowed to breathe which in turn emphasizes the emotional weight each character bears. Of course war has a negative impact on us all and is an extremely emotional experience, but Sallam really helps to delve into this in such a nuanced way that by the end of the film, there is no point in resisting the urge to say "whoa".
While Sallam is very expertly driving this car, the awe-struck feeling the audience should be left with is no doubt coming from our star, Karam Taher. Astonishingly, Farha is also Taher's feature length debut and, like Sallam, she expertly navigates the emotional and physical demands this role was written for. Farha, unlike the other girls in her town (that we know of), sees herself not as an object to be married away but rather an equal to every boy given a chance at formal education. She has a stubborn heart and a wit about her that sets her apart from others, for better or worse. It's these very qualities that make her such an engaging protagonist and it's Taher's talent that ensures you will be sticking around to see Farha to the very end of her journey.
While not knowing much about the history around the Nakba, it is very clear that Sallam and their team took the time to portray just a fraction of this historical event in a way that will have you doing some quick internet searches to find out more. The story of Farha (whose name is not actually Farha) was a great way to explore this event while also recounting an amazing tale of resilience. My only wish is that they would have provided historical photos or additional info prior to the credits rolling to really finish the story that Farha had started.
Farha is a story about love, hope, and a young girl's determination to survive. Through expert direction and emotional performances, this film is a must watch and will hopefully help launch the careers of everyone involved.

High and long arm has been adopted. The machine is suited to the sewing of car seats, sofas and bags. It is a sewing machine provided with dramatically improved workability and functions which are required for sewing large products and extra heavy-weight materials.
This is a high-performance machine which no longer requires thread picking at the beginning and end of sewing.


We wrote our first pantomime in 1993 in order to celebrate Save The Childrens 75th birthday. It was supposed to be a one off, but everyone was keen to do more and so the panto group was formed, later to be called ACT.
The group has gone from strength to strength, as well as our annual pantomime, we now do a spring production and summer workshops. The workshops, ranging from singing to magic , have been kindly supported by West Oxfordshire District Council.
We are a unique group in many ways. Firstly we give all our profits away; from this years production of 'Peter Pan in Panto Pandemonium' we were able to donate £4500 to SCF. We have no auditions and anyone who would like to be involved is found a slot on or off stage, this makes for a large cast (around 60) and lots of fun!! We all try and do everything, from painting the set to cleaning the toilets, and are a very friendly, sociable group. We are all committed to raising money for an excellent cause, but we make sure we enjoy what we are doing.
We were deighted and surprised to be given the Arts Group of the Year award, we have never won anything before! It was particularly special as it was the first time this award has been given and coincides with our 15th birthday! It is a great reward for the whole group, present and past members, who have worked very hard at making ACT a success and a particular credit to a dedicated committee. We would also like to thank all our audiences who have supported us, without whom we would be rather pointless and Carterton Community College where we rehearse and perform.


ABSTRACT:Measuring peoples' willingness to pay helps to measure the economic value of a good. Understanding the attitude and willingness to pay (WTP) of people towards tourism resources is not only important for estimating their recreational value but also helps in formulating and implementing suitable promotional and pricing strategies. An appropriate entrance fee arrangement can generate higher revenues from visitors which can be solve the problem of deficit funding to some extent. The higher revenue can be utilised for better conservation and management activities. Existing literature supports that peoples' WTP is affected by a range of factors. These factors or determinants are influential in peoples' spending decisions for recreational purposes. Identifying these factors is very important for assessing the suitability and effectiveness of the existing prices and facilities. Also, the information on peoples' desires, their motivations and attitude can be a good source of reference for formulating future strategies for improvement of services and amenities and for attracting more visitors and revenue. The main objective of this paper is to review some of the literature in the field of nature based tourism resources with the aim to identify some of the important factors or determinants which can influence peoples' behaviour and WTP for such resources. Literature suggests that Income, education and environmental concern and awareness among people have shown considerable positive relationship. Visitor and visit characteristics as well as survey related issues such as survey mode, elicitation techniques, payment vehicle used etc. are found to be important determinants of peoples' WTP.
KEYWORDS:Tourism, attitude, Willingness to pay, environmental resources, pricing, recreational value.

Indian Wells PIX: Djokovic, Osaka Halep crash out
Last updated on: March 13, 2019 11:41 IST
IMAGES from matches played on Day 9 of the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Tuesday
IMAGE: Serbia's Novak Djokovic falls to the court during his straight sets defeat against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber during their men's singles third round match.

Philipp Kohlschreiber stunned Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4 in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open on Tuesday, sending the world number one tumbling out of a tournament he had won five times.
The German punched the air in celebration after a video review confirmed that his forehand winner caught the line on match point to seal the upset victory in Indian Wells.
The top-seeded Serb, who had not dropped a set in four matches since the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January, looked out-of-sorts throughout the 98-minute contest.
He committed 27 unforced errors, converted just one of his five break point opportunities and destroyed his racket at one point when frustration boiled over on a sunny day in the Southern California desert.
His sloppy play did not diminish the 35-year-old Kohlschreiber's joy at defeating a number one ranked player for the first time in his long career, however.
"It's a very special moment. Of course, playing the top guys is always a big pleasure, but most of the time they beat you," Kohlschreiber said in an on-court interview.
"Today, with Novak being number one, top-seeded here, it's a very incredible win for me."

Djokovic tipped his cap to the veteran after the match.
"He's been around for so many years and he doesn't really get overwhelmed by the occasion of playing on centre court," he told reporters.
"He's proven he can win against top guys."
Kohlschreiber will not have long to celebrate, however, as the overnight interruption of his match against Djokovic for rain means he will be back on court for a fourth-round meeting with France's Gael Monfils on Wednesday.
In another upset during the day session Russian 14th seed Daniil Medvedev fell 6-3, 6-2 to Serbia's world number 113 Filip Krajinovic.
Krajinovic will be a big underdog when he faces Spain's world number two Rafael Nadal, who crushed Argentine Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-1 on the showcase court to reach the last 16.
In another upset earlier, Pole Hubert Hurkacz fired 10 aces en route to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over world number seven Kei Nishikori of Japan to reach the fourth round.
The 67th-ranked Hurkacz needed just over two hours to complete the comeback win over the 2014 US Open finalist.

The 22-year-old will next face Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov, who continued his run of dominant serving without being broken on his way to an impressive 6-4, 6-2 win over 10th seeded Croat Marin Cilic.
After the match Shapovalov expressed his appreciation for his fans by rapping a song from the sun-soaked court three.
"Take care and good night, know this the good life, hot tubs and court time, Thursday we back alright!" he rapped at the end of the song, which got a roar of approval from the audience.
World No 1 Roger Federer needed under an hour to defeat fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka 6-3, 6-4 and will next face Briton Kyle Edmund, who defeated Radu Albot in straight sets earlier in the day.
American John Isner never faced a break point during his comfortable 6-3 6-4 win over Guido Pella.
The big-serving 2012 Indian Wells finalist will face Russian Karen Khachanov after he defeated countryman Andrey Rublev 7-5, 6-3 in their fourth round match.

Naomi Osaka followed Simona Halep through the exit door at the BNP Paribas Open on Tuesday as the top two players in the world were sent packing in the fourth round at Indian Wells.
World No 1 Osaka never found her rhythm against Belinda Bencic as the Swiss used her precise groundstrokes and pinpoint serving to topple the defending champion 6-3, 6-1 in just over an hour.
The 22-year-old Bencic, who has risen as high as world number seven before missing time with injuries, hit a forehand volley on match point to seal the win and send her into the quarter-finals.
"I was really happy with the performance," Bencic told Tennis Channel.
"It wasn't as easy as the result is saying and I didn't expect it like that, so definitely happy."
Bencic, the World No 23, has made a habit of upending top 10 players of late, defeating four en route to winning the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships last month.
She will have another shot at a top-10 player when she takes on hard-hitting world number five Karolina Pliskova, who smashed 13 aces to dispatch Anett Kontaveit 7-6(0), 4-6, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals.
IMAGE: Romania's Simona Halep grimaces as she hits a backhand against Czech Republic's Markéta Vondroušová during their women's singles fourth round match. Photograph: Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images
Earlier in the day, Czech teenager Marketa Vondrousova ran Halep ragged before dumping the Romanian out of the tournament 6-2, 3-6, 6-2.
Halep, who received medical treatment for blisters on her foot during the match, won less than half of her first-service points and hit just six winners to go with 36 unforced errors.
"I was running too much and too defensive," the Romanian told reporters.
"But it's everything I could do today."
Halep's loss ensured Osaka will retain her number one ranking after the tournament.
The win was 19-year-old Vondrousova's first over a top-10 player in six attempts.
"I think I'm playing well all week but this is something special because she's number two in the world," Vondrousova said.
"I was just fighting for every point."
IMAGE: USA's Venus Williams plays a forehand against Germany's Mona Barthel during their women's singles fourth round match. Photograph: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
"I need to do what I want, and what I want is to play the tournaments I want to play."
Another teenager, unseeded Canadian Bianca Andreescu, upset 18th seed Wang Qiang of China 7-5, 6-2 to book her place in the quarters. The win was the 18-year-old Andreescu's 25th of the year, the most of any WTA player.
She will next face Garbine Muguruza after the Spaniard battled back to dispatch Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands 5-7, 6-1, 6-4.
Venus Williams reached the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Mona Barthel.
"I haven't played that much, so I wanted to make it count," said Williams, who expects to play about 12 tournaments this year.
Ukrainian Elina Svitolina came from a break down in the third set to defeat Australian Ashleigh Barty 7-6(8), 5-7, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.

Traditions of the Charlotte Cobras
There are numerous Cobra Traditions that have developed over the years as players, coaches and staff have built a life-long relationship based around cooperation, family, and service. Some traditions are serious and some are more on the funny side. The inside scoop on some of the more notable Cobra traditions:
"Charlotte Cobras! You Know!"
What is the OC?
OC stands for Original Cobra. This includes the founding members and players, coaches and staff who struck out in late 2005 and the 2006 inaugural season to make the organization successful both on the field and more importantly helping the community through charitable donations and events. These people are appreciated for their effort with the OC designation.
Who was Hazel Richardson?
Hazel Richardson was a long time coach for the Cobras. Hazel worked for the Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation Department in Charlotte and was a lifelong lover of football. Hazel volunteered his time as a special teams coach for the Cobras and built many long lasting, deep relationships with several players and coaches.
During the 2014 season Hazel would come to practice as he always did, however, he often would often sit in a chair and coach from that position. Everyone wondered what was the problem, and without a hint of sadness or bitterness Hazel would simply say that his legs were hurting and his doctor told him to take it easy. Hazel never complained and continued coaching throughout the 2014 season never letting on about bigger issues that he was actually facing.
It came with great surprise and sadness when the team found out on July 14th, 2014, that Hazel had passed away from bone cancer. Hazel stayed strong to the end and did what he loved so much right until his last breath. Hazel's wife, Lisa, has remarked that Hazel loved what the Cobras did for her husband and that he was so proud to be a part of the team. Lisa is currently a staff member (secretary) for the team and if you speak to her she will tell you that without the Cobra organization she would not have made it through Hazel's death due to both financial and family support from the team.
Hazel will always be remembered as a member of the organization for his enthusiasm, love of the game and team, and his strength both mentally and physically. This attitude and feeling were obvious at Hazel's funeral where most of the players, coaches, and staff attended. The term "Big Haze Strong" lead the charge for the teams 2015 National Championship drive. (Read 2015 season synopsis)
Holding Church
"Holding Church" In the NPSFL almost all of the games are played on a Saturday afternoon in the spring. During away games the Cobras would usually take a charter bus to and from the host city. Holding Church would happen during the bus ride home on Sunday of course. Unfortunately for the bus driver the charter bus typically had a microphone up front for occasions when the bus would be used for tours. One of the veteran players (and current Defensive Coordinator) Mo Moorer would take this opportunity to "hold church" on the Sunday bus rides back to Charlotte. If a player had a moment in the game that needed to be pointed out, Mo was sure to use the microphone to let the team know of the situation. Someone who got a cramp was "hit by a sniper" and if you missed a block or tackle Mo made sure that the rest of the team prayed for a better outcome next time. Holding Church became both a time to look forward to , as well as a time to lay low if you had a bad moment during the game, but fun was had by all.
Down the Middla
"Down the Middla" What in the world does this mean? During warmups either during practice or pre-game, former defensive lineman Cary Flythe's particular accent was heard more as "Down the middla" on stretching exercises rather than, "Down the middle." You know a current or former Cobra player simply by listening to them during a stretch if they say, "DOWN THE MIDDLA!"
On a More Serious Note
The Cobras always recite the Lord's Prayer after practice and games, regardless of the situation or outcome. This keeps the team focused on our mission to serve and the true reason of playing football. Watch the end of any Cobras game and you will first hear words of comradery and the spirit of competition from the Cobras first and only Head Coach, Eddie Levins, between fellow public safety professions determined to serve the community, and then you will watch as players from both sides come together and "touch someone" as we recite the Lord's Prayer in unity.

Here's Zendaya's Net Worth And Upcoming Projects
Gayatri Rani
Editor's PickHollywood
Follow on Google News ➞
Check out Zendaya's net worth and all the upcoming films and shows.
Zendaya is one of the most outstanding actresses in the entertainment industry. Recently, the actress made history by becoming the youngest two-time Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her iconic role as Rue in HBO's Euphoria.
Zendaya's career rises in 2010 when she lands a starring role on Disney's Shake It Up. She never looked back since then. After her recurring role, the actress acted in tons of video shorts and two Disney movies until she eventually moved on to play the titular role in K.C. Undercover. Zendaya then moved to the next chapter of her life in 2018 and starred in Spiderman films.
After Disney days, Zendaya has most notably taken on more mature and artistic roles like Rue in Euphoria. Though Zendaya's record-breaking show Euphoria's salary isn't publicly known, co-star Sydney Sweeney reportedly made $325,000 for 13 episodes. Considering that, Zendaya plays the titular character in the series and is an executive producer on the project, fans can believe that she makes a bit more than the other cast members.
Talking about her big screen roles, Zendaya has starred in three hit Spider-Man movies alongside Tom Holland, Dune, Malcolm & Marie and other films. Noting all breakthrough roles, Zendaya's net worth is estimated at $15 million. Talking about her upcoming projects, the actress has several films and shows under her belt. Some of the highly anticipated titles are Challengers, Euphoria: Season 3, and Dune: Part Two.

Zendaya Upcoming Films and Tv Shows:
Euphoria: Season 3
Euphoria season 2 ended with a lot of cliffhangers, leaving fans with several unanswered questions. Though the whole plot of Euphoria: Season 3 has been kept under tight wraps, Zendaya does tease a few details in an interview with THR. The actress revealed that all the characters will try to figure out what to do with their lives when high school is over and what kind of people they want to be. There's no official release date for the highly anticipated season, and fans might have to wait longer.
Dune: Part Two
The mythic journey continues as Paul Atreides unites with the Fremen to seek revenge against those who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between love and the fate of the universe, he tries to prevent a dark future only he can foresee. The film is expected to release in November 17, 2023.
Zendaya's another upcoming film is a romantic drama, Challengers that takes place in the world of professional tennis. Zendaya will starred as Tashi, a player-turned-coach who trains her husband, Art, to become the next great tennis legend. She makes him play a "Challenger" event, which is near to the level of a pro tour tournament.
Finest Kind
Zendaya is set to star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Ansel Elgort in the upcoming film Finest Kind. The upcoming film will follow two brothers who get dragged down into the muck of a Bostonian crime syndicate. However, Zendaya is yet to be know.
Zendaya will soon be leading a biopic, released by the terrific A24 studio, creators and producers of such iconic movies like The Lighthouse, The Witch, Midsommar, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, as reported by Deadline. Zendaya will star as late Ronnie Spector, former lead singer of The Ronettes, as well as former wife of record producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector.

« May 2018 | Main | July 2018 »
Transactional Diplomacy Trump Style
In May 2017, then Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told State Department staff in his first of few meetings with them that he preferred to operate along the lines of transactional diplomacy which subordinates American values to a form of foreign policy based on cash-register type one-on-one trades. This way, the US could deal with the "bad guys" without having to consider whether they represented countries with ethical governments or not.
During my own Foreign Service career, I certainly worked in countries where the rule of law was nonexistent and where the US needed to base its relationship with the government in question on a transactional form of diplomacy. But that's not what Trump's version of transactional diplomacy is all about.
The Soviet Union was one of those countries where I served but others were Thailand under the Thai military and Greece under the Colonels. Our cultural exchanges agreement with the USSR is the most compelling example: everything was quantified and codified down to the number of students and faculty each country sent on research trips to the lengths of their stay by exact numbers of days, the access they had to research materials and the locations they could visit. My job was to see that the Soviet bureaucracy kept its word. It was not easy but without the formal agreement the exchanges would not have happened.
Trump's own brand of transactional diplomacy, however, is different. For him, it's a narrow and personally based world view couched in bluster and incendiary Tweets sent at weird hours of the night but what's different is that it's not designed to further or even support US national goals and objectives – those don't matter. Rather it's designed to enrich Trump and/or his company and children personally.
Much diplomacy – especially bilateral - has its roots in transaction: the goal is to see that both countries maximize their objectives. Essentially, it's 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.' But it's government to government not government to the bank account of an individual official. That, however, is not how Trump operates.
Watch: every time US foreign policy – as defined by Trump – does not seem to make sense in terms of the overall US national interest - which is most of the time - there's likely to be an under the table financial transaction which personally benefits Trump or possibly a member of his family.
We know, for instance, that Ukraine president Poroshenko paid over $400,000 for an Oval Office meeting with Trump just last year. The money went to Trump's fixer Roger Cohen and some may have gone to Felix Sater, a pal of Cohen's, who has been involved in connecting Trump and company to Russian oligarchs connected to Putin. What we don't know is how much of the Ukrainian treasury Cohen passed on to Trump too: Hopefully the Southern District Court of New York is investigating the question.
Moreover, Ukraine apparently simultaneously agreed to sideline its investigation of Paul Manafort's payoffs from pro-Russian sources. Perhaps part of the deal from the US SIDE also included anti-tank military equipment suddenly released to the Ukrainian armed forces by the Trump administration that the Obama administration had refused to send. Not bad for $400,000 or more – but that's not how rules- based government operates. The Ukrainian funds should never have wound up in Cohen's bank account.
There was also an Oval Office meeting earlier this year by the president of Uzbekistan. Supposedly that was to seal the deal on several deals that, in fact, had already been sealed. How much did that photo op cost the Uzbeks I wonder? Does anyone know? What did Trump get out of it?
Moving right along, the Chinese government has been playing Trump for all he's worth since shortly after he entered the White House – first approving trade marks for Ivanka to manufacture and sell her apparel brand in China (the second tranche of 13 patents was approved just before the Trump-Kim photo op "summit") to agreeing to finance the theme park, as a part of a the Lido resort complex to be built in Indonesia adjacent to a Trump Tower Hotel. The theme park's cost to the Chinese is $500 million; its cozy location is surely designed to enhance the value and revenue of the hotel. Is this deal still on the table given Trump's tariff war against the Chinese?
In return for this Chinese largesse? Trump suddenly reversed his decision to enforce punitive US tariffs for the telecommunications company ZTE which the Trump administration has placed on certain Chinese goods and which, in the case of this company are forcing it into bankruptcy. The Senate may block the Trump flip flop on ZTE – which will complicate the matter if this happens, and who knows how this could affect Trump's personal finances. ZTE, according to AP reporting, "is accused of violating trade laws by selling sensitive technologies to North Korea and Iran." But the Senate is meeting with Trump to discuss the issue. Will that cave? And what's the payoff if so?
This makes me wonder what under the table deals were negotiated with the North Koreans for that feel good "meeting" with Kim shortly after the G6 plus 1.
And in the Middle East, Trump's abrupt withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, his support for the Saudi led war against Qatar and its bombing of the Shiites in Yemen combined with his decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem only make sense when viewed from the standpoint of at what benefit to Trump personally.
Here's why. Trump's biggest individual campaign backers were Adelman, the Koch Brothers, Singer and via Cambridge Analytica the Mercers – father and daughter. These same people are also big backers of the right wing, greater Israel policy of Netanyahu who vociferously opposed the Iran deal and has been itching to move the Israeli capital to Jerusalem for years all the while ignoring the rights of the Palestinians, rights that date back to the international recognition of the state of Israel in 1948.
And what have the Saudis gotten out of this – higher gas prices on the international market with Iran's sales curtailed and yet additional military equipment from the US to wage more attacks on the Shiites in Yemen (although Trump's advisors l-ikely including that 'great' foreign policy savant Jared Kushner - clearly forgot to tell him that we have important military bases in Oman and the US support for the Saudi blockade of that small Gulf country was in direct contradiction to our national interests.) An Oops moment. Clearly the US military was not amused.
What is still unclear is the nature of the relationship being brokered by Eric Prince (the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos of Blackwater fame) and the Russian oligarchs and Donald Trump, Jr at a hotel in the UAE last fall. But it also seems to be a piece of the jigsaw. Did it relate to a potential hotel construction project to which Trump could affix his name and collect user fees? Or could money have changed hands under some table or even behind that weird green orb the Trump clan was photographed fondling May 2016 on their very first stop on their very first official overseas trip?
Nevertheless, perhaps this helps explain Trump's rude behavior to the European, Canadian, and Japanese leaders at the G-7 (or maybe G-6 plus 1) meeting in Quebec June 9, his reneging on the joint statement and his acrimonious tweets about meeting host, Justin Trudeau, thereafter. These are rule of law countries, their leaders are not on the take and, therefore, Trump can't shake them down.

I am so excited for these Godly Moms who are expecting children. I am sure that many of the followers of your blogs are praying for them! I am concerned for Jill but know that she is in the Lord's Hands! Thank you for the updates!
Well I hope Anna's little one comes on her due date. I don't know if I could stand waiting for another baby being overdue. Praying for patience for Jill and Alyssa, as well as safe and fast deliveries. :) Enjoy your sleep ladies. You are going to need it! Your precious little ones will be here soon!
From this angle, Anna doesn't seem very big for how far along she is.....or maybe I'm just used to seeing Jill's BIG baby bump. Fantastic picture of Grandma Duggar and Anna.
Look amazing as always. God Bless ya"ll!
Good Luck to you all on your new little additions to the family! God has truly blessed you all!
I love your show !!!
Hopefully Jill is in the care of a Dr. making sure there are no complications with this delivery. 2 weeks is a long past due time with baby growing possibly beyond normal delivery options. Wishing with all the happiness with all the new babies with their two families.
Following along for the new seasons of life is interesting but the original Duggar information just about everyday life in their big family was what originally caught on. Now there is not so much about that on the blog.
Hope all is going well, so happy to here all the new little one that are comming. God is blessing to all.
Does Anna ever get to visit her family?
42 weeks? That's going to be a huge baby! Good luck Jill and Derick!
Anna, you look radiant as ever.
Where has Jim the camera man been hiding?
Very exciting!!! So many new babies!
I'd like to hear more about Jill's delivery.
Fyi. JILL HAD HER BABY LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!! BABY ISRAEL David was born at 11:49 last night April 6th. He weighs 9 pounds 10 ounces. Checkout the people magazine article for PHOTOS and more info!!!!!! Love all the duggar. Congrats JILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baby Dilly is here. His name is Israel David and it was no homebirth. I thought so because she was really going far over her due date. Which can be very dangerous, apparently they've seen that danger and went to the hospital.
All the best now and a healthy recovery for Jill.
I love Josh and Anna ;-) they have been an inspiration to me as a young mom as well.
People just posted a birth announcement and beautiful photo. Congratulation to the new parents. Hope mom and baby are doing well.
JILL dillard had aby israel yesterday! welcome israel david dillard!!
I didn't know Anna was so tall.
People magazine released name time weight and date of birth of hills baby!!!
Did she get to stay for the birth of Ireal?
Looking beautiful as ever....Grandma and Anna~! Waiting for baby number 4~!
ill be praying for all of you !
You're Beautiful, Anna! I hope the remaining 3 months are easy for you and you get to just enjoy your pregnancy! I love seeing these updates. I hope you all got to see Baby Israel before going home.
She is beautiful from inside out!
My baby bump is probably the same size as yours... I am due July 8th!!! So excited!
The rag mags better stock up on ink. So much world-breaking news awaits. Bates and Duggar babies are being born.
I love seeing the family but it seems like the girls are on more than the boys! When I see their pictures I don't even recognize them from the program. Do some of them like being in front of the camera more than others? Also what happened to Jim Bob's sister? So nice to see Christian standards and young people not afraid to stand up for what they believe.
Anna looks great for being 7 months along.
Anna has such beautiful babies! She and Josh are so so blessed. I just love this little family. They are precious!
Anna looks like she has lost weight! I can't wait to see a Dugger and and Bates get married!
Congratulations Anna and Josh on your 4th child. Can't wait to meet her.
Congratulations Anna and Josh on your 4th child. I can't wait to meet her.
CONGRATULATION ANNA AND JOSHUA. GOD BIG BLESS YOU TWO WITH 4 TH CHILD. GOD BLESS ALL FAMILIES OF DUGGARS.
I love Anna, she is one of my favorites.
awe another girl making it even. congrats and best wishes.
So glad to see Anna, I have missed seeing her lately. She looks great and so does Grandma Mary!! That is a great color on both of you. I hope Anna can keep us posted, I am anxious to hear how things go with the new one. Can't wait to hear what her name will be. All Anna's children are just adorable.
Anna, if your previous 3 labors and deliveries are an example to you, get thee to a hospital quickly to deliver there...why suffer needlessly and put yourself and/or the baby at any risk? Partake of the good medical care available to us in this day and age...they were developed for a reason.
I agree with the quality medical care available at hospitals if it is needed in the event of an emergency with the baby. However there is nothing wrong with having a natural child birth. These days too many women are afraid of experiencing a little pain while giving birth to their babies. Actually it is called natural child birth because it is as God intended women to bring forth children. I had both my children naturally and my daughter has done the same with her children. Women today just need to toughen up, I've experienced a lot of pain in my lifetime and childbirth is fairly low on that scale, besides the fact that once you see that little face looking up at you the pain is all but completely forgotten. Women should give it a chance, you can still be in a hospital as I was and as my daughter was, but you don't need to rush in there so you can get an epidural and numb yourself from what you're meant to feel.
Congratulations Anna and Josh!! I cant wait to meet her! I love watching how God is blessing the Duggar family!
Was she able to stay for the birth?
Is that the house the Josh is rumored to have bought in Arkansas?
Congratulations on all the little ones. God blessed me with 2 and he took them to live with him in heaven. The Lord did bless me with 3 beautiful adopted children and they are my world but it would have been nice to have raised my gifts from God.
Anna, please, please, please, have this baby in a hospital. Yes, things will likely go fine even at home, but you never know. It is best to be near a medical facility in case things go bad. I was really concerned for you with Michael.
Very happy for you Josh and Anna..you look radiant .Grandma Duggar is just gorgeous never aging!
I hope that in the next couple months will go smoothly, and I can't wait to see her!!! I hope you've been reading Jill's posts, and I hope you will start to use Lavender Tea too!!! I think your great, and I everything will go very WELL WITH YOU!!!!!!!
Any thought to what they are going to name her?

Rapper Nipsey Hussle's actress girlfriend Lauren London breaks silence after his death
By Christine Estera| 10 months ago
The girlfriend of gundowned rapper Nipsey Hussle has spoken out about the heartbreaking loss of her boyfriend.
Actress Lauren London has expressed her grief on Instagram just days after the 33-year-old was fatally shot outside his clothing store in LA, leaving behind London, their two-year-old son Kross and Emani, his seven-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

"I am completely lost. I've lost my best friend. My sanctuary. My protector. My soul.... I'm lost without you. We are lost without you babe. I have no words," wrote London, who has appeared in movies such as Baggage Claim and The Perfect Match.

The couple started dating after meeting on Instagram in 2013 and had since established themselves as a power couple in LA. They were even featured in US GQ's annual power couple's issue last month, which showcased the pair in and around their Crenshaw neighbourhood in South Los Angeles.
Sadly, Hussle -- whose real name was Ermias Davidson Ashedom -- was shot dead on the infamous Slauson Avenue strip. It was the same street where he and London had posed with a white stallion for GQ magazine shoot.

A post shared by Lauren London (@laurenlondon) on Feb 21, 2019 at 7:29am PST
"He's gotten more of a platform to be really clear about his message," she told the mag about the evolution on Hussle's career. "Because before he was just making rap gang-bang music. But I think he has a purpose in all the raps, and that's coming to light."

Today, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti confirmed that the Los Angeles Police Department arrested a suspect in connection to the shooting, which was ruled as a homicide by the coroner.
"Eric Holder, the suspect in the murder of Nipsey Hussle, has been arrested and is now in custody," tweeted Mayor Garcetti. "Thank you to our LAPD officers for tireless work to find the suspect and seek justice that Nipsey's family and community deserve."

During last year's holiday season,* approximately one in four deaths on Texas roadways were alcohol-related. In an effort to reduce these fatalities, the Texas Department of Transportation's "Plan While You Can" campaign reminds drivers to make planning a sober ride part of their holiday celebrations.
• Designating a sober driver.
• Contacting a cab or ride-share service.


So we're in a phase where we are just visiting a bunch of new people.
One family we found is the Huaman family. Rosa is the mom, Richard is 19 and John is 7. John has DOWN SYNDROME AND IS THE CUTEST KID EVER!!!!!!!! He is literaly JUST like Luke, no joke. Just that he speaks Spanish and is a whole lot skinnier :) He sat down and even ran into the back room to drag his older brother out to come and listen! And he LOOVES singing hymns. It was just the most amazing lesson. We got to teach them about prayer and they are SUPER excited to go to church (THANK GOODNESS. We have a hard time getting people to come to church here.....) and ready to learn. Please keep them in your prayers!!
Also a cool experience: the other day I prayed in the morning to just be able to find and help someone. Maybe bring a smile to someone's face or lift them up a bit. But as we went though the day we really couldn't find ANYONE! Then we decided to go stop by a less-active named Flor. She lives out in the fields in this little hut. Not even a house really, just a hut made of woven plant leaves or something. We shout for her (cuse there really isn't a door) and she comes out and looks super worried. Apparently her oldest son had had a high fever for about a day and her husband had been out working so she couldn't take him to the hospital because she couldn't leave her other small kids alone. She invited us in and her 13 year old is just laying on the bed. In Peru people don't know how to lower a fever or anything without medication. Its really sad how messed up and whaked up medicine is here. So I began to put wet cloths on his head and neck and torso to help cool him down, then kept changing them every once and a while to keep them cool. We were there for a while, but eventually, his fever began to come down! I told her to keep doing it and she thanked us and was so happy that Heavenly Father had sent us to help her. And it was so cool how my prayer was able to be answered! Its true, that if we are willing, the Lord will make us instruments in his hands!
Look what I found--Crossfit Pervian style!!!

George Bowman's "Tribute to Maxine Johnson"
Niki D'Andrea November 23, 2006 4:00AM
The day after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year, alternately known as "Black Friday" and "Blitz Day," when people get up at 4 a.m. to barrel over each other in shopping carts and take advantage of the ridiculous rollbacks. If you're not in such a hurry to get harried over the holidays, some smooth blues may be just what you need, and Valley crooner George Bowman's bringing out a venerable who's-who of Phoenix jazz and blues greats for his "Tribute to Maxine Johnson" show. Johnson, a native Phoenician who's worked with everybody from Wayne Newton and Diana Ross to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, has been performing since the age of 5, and describes her music as "good old down-home blues, jazz and straight-up funk." Johnson's daughter (and fellow singer) Lady J is set to perform, along with Lila Sherman from Sistah Blue, and Count Basie Orchestra alum Dennis Rowland. The posters for this show feature a shot of Johnson's impressive backside, and the people who kept stealing those posters off the walls of the Rhythm Room should be pleased to know that Ms. Johnson herself will be on hand to sign them.
Niki D'Andrea has covered subjects including drug culture, women's basketball, pirate radio stations, Scottsdale staycations, and fine wine. She has worked at both New Times and Phoenix Magazine, and is now a freelancer.

Fringe by the Sea: Festival set to go ahead with Janey Godley, Candi Staton, Peat & Diesel and Basement Jaxx as headliners
One of Scotland's leading summer arts festivals has revealed plans to return this year – in a new outdoor format with socially-distanced audiences.
By Brian Ferguson
Wednesday, 17th February 2021, 6:36 pm
Updated Thursday, 18th February 2021, 12:30 pm
Fringe by the Sea will transform the East Lothian town of North Berwick in August for 10 days under plans to bring the event back in a "Covid-secure" format that has been backed by the Scottish Government's own events agency.
Award-winning Scots comic Janey Godley, American disco legend Candi Staton, electronica outfit Basement Jaxx, Fun Lovin' Criminals frontman Huey Morgan, Hebridean rockers Peat & Diesel and Scottish folk favourites The Poozies will be spearheading the line-up.
Fringe by the Sea is the first major Scottish arts festival to confirm plans to stage outdoor events with social distancing this summer.
Many events have been called off completely recently while others, including Edinburgh's main events, have said they are "optimistic" about being able to go ahead with in-person events. Tickets for a reduced-cacacity Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle esplanade have been on sale since October,
Fringe by the Sea, which is normally staged at indoor Spiegeltent venues brought into the harbour, is planned to expand into a series of marquees and tents around town, including the Lodge Grounds, Anchor Green, the Marine Hotel and the library car park.
Although audience numbers at each venue are expected to be strictly limited, organisers hope the extra venues will allow them to attract around its usual attendance of around 20,000. Acts to appear in previous years have included Mica Paris, Badly Drawn Boy, Jerry Sadowitz, Arthur Smith, KT Tunstall and Tommy Smith.
Other backers of the rebooted event, which is normally worth around £1.5 million to the local economy, include East Lothian Council, Belhaven Brewery and Glenkinchie Distillery. The majority of its audience is usually drawn from the Lothians.
The festival, which will be run under the theme "open arms, open spaces, open minds" this August, will feature talks from climate change and wildlife experts, chefs and distillers, as well as showcases for local artists, craft-makers, and food and drink producers.
Organisers of the festival, which is expected to run from 6-15 August, are preparing for "a number of eventualities" on how the event is delivered, depending on coronavirus restrictions at the time, including the possible need for up to two-metre social distancing.
Festival director Rory Steel said: "We have got to be optimistic. We have a lot of contingencies and caveats in place, but we are positive that if the vaccine roll-out continues on the path that it is on and we can get to the kind of place we were in last summer, when drive-in events were happening.
"We don't have too many outgoings until the summer and we have incredibly good local support – there is a willingness to make the event happen. Half the high street is closed at the moment and businesses are desperate to get their tills ringing again.
Fringe by the Sea has been staged in North Berwick since 2008.
"We're being incredibly sensible in our approach and there's nothing we will do that will put local health, wellbeing and safety at risk.
"By spreading things out across the town, we won't have everything condensed into the one space at the harbour. We'll still have events there, but they will managed in a way to ensure there is social distancing."
Paul Bush, chief executive of EventScotland, which is providing £25,000 in funding, said: "Events are a force for good as they sustain livelihoods and bring social and economic change.
"Through creative thinking and innovation, the organisers are designing a festival for both artists and the audience to come together in a safe and fun way."
Fringe by the Sea directors Jackie Shuttleworth and Rory Steel.
East Lothian provost John McMillan said: "It's great news that Fringe by the Sea will be going ahead this year and in a format that will allow this to happen safely.
"Events and festivals really help to put East Lothian on the cultural map and are a great draw for both local residents and those coming from further afield.
"Fringe by the Sea will be a great asset to our destination offer and will be a boost to East Lothian and its residents in many ways."
American singing star Candi Staton is due to appear at Fringe by the Sea in August.

As a writer on matters of art and taste Mrs. Jameson probably surpassed all other women writers and on the literature of art she is conceded by many to stand next to Ruskin. She possessed an intense love of the beautiful, a cultivated and discriminating taste, and her breadth of knowledge was almost phenomenal. Added to these were her natural and cultivated powers of eloquent description.
In quantity her writings were surpassing as quality, and the former does not seem to have impaired the latter.
Here again, birth and early training had a marked influence. Her father, Mr. Murphy, was a painter to the Princess of Charlotte (daughter of George IV, who married Prince Leopold afterward King of Belgium) and by him her inborn artistic tastes were trained with great care.
She became the wife of Mr. Jameson, who received a government appointment to Canada. The marriage was not a happy one and they lived apart. After traveling extensively in Europe, she devoted herself to literary work, at first chiefly in biographical lines and relating specially to women. Loves of the Poets is a series of sketches showing the influence of women on poetic minds. Lives of Celebrated Female Sovereigns needs no explanation. Characteristics of Women deals with the female characters of Shakespeare's plays. She also prepared a work on Beauties of the Court of Charles II.
In artistic lines her work began with translating a German work on the life and genius of Rubens. She was now discovering her special forte. Next came A Handbook to the London Art Galleries, and a Companion to the Private Galleries of Art in London.
This development is interesting. Having begun with writing biographical sketches and then having taken up descriptions of great works of art, she combined the two and wrote Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters and of the Progress of Painting in Italy. then came memoirs and Essays, and Sacred and Legendary Art.
