BELGRADE – Serbian authorities on Thursday banned gatherings of more than 10 people in the capital, Belgrade, after two nights of violent clashes between police and thousands of demonstrators protesting coronavirus lockdown measures.
Thousands of people defied the ban to stage a sit down protest Thursday night in front of Parliament, along with other peaceful gatherings in towns elsewhere in Serbia.
Many protesters wore white T-shirts with the inscription, "Sit Down, Don't Be Set Up" — referring to widespread claims that the violence the previous nights was staged by hooligan groups close to the authorities to smear the opposition groups' image.
"This is how the protest should really look like, without their mad dogs present," said one of the main opposition leaders, Dragan Djilas.
Despite no police intervention, there were several skirmishes between peaceful protesters and the far-right groups, but no clashes like the violence of the previous two nights.
Serbia's government crisis team said the restrictions imposed Thursday were intended to prevent the virus' further spread following two nights of clashes, during which few people wore face masks.
In addition to limiting gatherings, businesses in closed spaces, such as cafes, shopping malls or shops, were ordered to operate shorter hours.
"The health system in Belgrade is close to breaking up," Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said. "That is why I can't understand what we saw last night and the night before."
The clashes followed an announcement from President Aleksandar Vucic that further lockdown measures were likely as the outbreak in the country was spiraling out of control, especially in Belgrade, where 80 percent of new cases were recorded. At least 17,342 cases and 352 deaths have been recorded throughout Serbia.
Although the new government measures passed Thursday don't include an originally planned weekend curfew, the limit on gatherings effectively means a ban on protests.
After initially handling the pandemic relatively well, Vucic and his government have been accused of allowing the crisis to spin out of control in order to hold a June 21 election that tightened his grip on power.
Opponents blame the autocratic president for contributing to the large spike in deaths and new cases after he entirely lifted previous very tight lockdown measures. Mass gatherings at soccer and tennis matches and at nightclubs were allowed despite warnings by experts that this could lead to a spike in infections.
Over the previous two evenings, rock-throwing demonstrators fought running battles with special police forces, who used tear gas, armored vehicles and horses to disperse them. Both protests started peacefully before far-right nationalist groups started hurling objects at police.
The U.S. Embassy said in a statement Thursday it was "deeply concerned" by the violence.
"We condemn all violence, including what appeared to us to be coordinated attacks on police seemingly intended to provoke overreactions, as well as what appeared to the use of excessive force by police," it said.
Dozens of people were injured in the two days of clashes in Belgrade and other cities.
Serbia's police chief, Vladimir Rebic, said 118 police officers were injured and 153 protesters were detained.
"Such violence is inadmissible and police will use all means to stop it," Rebic said in a statement.
Rights watchdog Amnesty International, however, blamed the police for applying "heavy-handed measures" against the demonstrators.
"Images of Serbian police firing tear gas and stun grenades indiscriminately into the crowd, and of protesters and bystanders being charged by mounted police and beaten by police in riot gear, raise serious concerns," Amnesty International's Balkans researcher Jelena Sesar said in a statement.
Videos on social media appeared to show police severely beating up protesters. In one, a protester was seen being hit and kicked by several officers and dumped on the sidewalk, seemingly unconscious. The authenticity of the videos could not be independently verified.
Under apparent pressure from the protesters, the Serbian president backtracked Wednesday on his plan to implement a weekend curfew, claiming the measure could not be carried out without proclaiming a nationwide state of emergency.
In an Instagram post on Thursday — from inside the plane taking him on an official visit to France — Vucic said the state will curb unrest, and urged his followers not to confront violent demonstrators.
"I promised that we will know how to preserve peace and stability despite criminal hooligan violent attacks that have shocked us all," he said.
Vucic has accused foreign intelligence services of being behind the unrest. He has described the protests as "political" and aimed at weakening Serbia in its talks with Kosovo, a former province whose 2008 declaration of independence Belgrade does not recognize.
Although Vucic stopped short of identifying the alleged foreign spy agencies, tabloids under his control accused pro-Russia far-right groups of fueling the violence. The Russian ambassador to Serbia on Thursday vehemently denied accusations that Moscow was behind the unrest.


I was finally taking my Christianity seriously, that's what I told myself. I was looking for a NIV Bible but hadn't taken the time to actually go out and get one. What I did take time to do was go to Rita's for the free Italian Ice day. Myself and my fiance (now wife) got our a treat and while eating we noticed a little thrift store right next to it. We decided to go inside, they had all different kinds of things, we walked around and then I noticed there was a trunk full of Bibles, NIV in fact. I asked how much one cost and the man told me he just keeps them here to give out to people. I thanked the man and quickly grabbed one after my fiance and I paid for our items we picked out.
It felt special, even though it was a basic bible, not the fancy kind you see on amazon with pictures and gold pages but it felt special because it was exactly what I needed, even though I hadn't taken the time to go out and seek it. I also remember thinking about how great it was that the man was giving away Bibles in his store, spreading the Word of God without trying to make any money off of it.
I took the Bible home, I decided I was going to read it cover to cover. Shortly into my reading I became overwhelmed, I remembered Solomon asking for wisdom from God, so I prayed and after I did the Bible started to flow into my mind everything made sense. After reading the whole Bible, I got an idea of God's FULL story, it answered so many questions. I understood how God has never changed, he always showed us love and compassion. His people continued to reject him but God always forgave. The Father sent his Son to bring the World back to the way he intended it to be, filled with the same love, compassion and forgiveness he shows to us.
However that does not mean I was being a good child of God. Years past and things slowly became harder and harder in life. It seemed life was worse as a Christian rather than better. There was many struggles my fiance and I faced, financially, both our Dad's health declined and eventually died. We didn't know where we were going next in our life. I lashed out at God and wanted to know where he was? Why was all these things happening without a real answer as to what to do? I wanted to know why Jesus couldn't come back sooner? How bad is the World going to get before enough is enough?
I ended up throwing my Bible onto the floor, the outside of the spine was broken. The Bible I had through my journey for the past few years was damaged. I felt extreme guilt, I felt my Bible was ruined. But then I opened it.
God's words were not damaged, they never could be damaged.
I kept that Bible and will always have that Bible as a reminder of personal struggle, a reminder to keep faith strong and that even though we or our things in our life may be broken God's covenant with us will never be.
I realized God came into my life at the perfect time, struggles were coming and I don't know how I would have got past them without God. He was right there with me the whole time, the answers were there I just needed to listen. Jesus will return at the right time but in the meantime God wants as many people saved as possible, so when it looks like the World is so dark that's when the light of the World needs to shine. That is when us Christians need to do everything we can to make the World a better place. Like God wants.
One of the most common ideas people get about Christians is that they're obsessed with Hell. People discuss this idea in social circles, in the media, how many times have we seen the stereotypical Hell, Fire and Brimstone Christian in a movie or TV show? But then again how times have you seen a guy on the street corner screaming about damnation? I grew up scared to death of Hell, I was constantly being reminded of Hell by the people from Church, any slip up, Hell was brought up. Many have had similar experiences from their own Church, or from neighbors or even parents.
Often Christians feel like they can use scare tactics to convert other's to Christianity, this is a very dangerous thing to do. They say here is the consequences for not believing. But that is all they say. Jesus said we are the light of the World. We have to show the positive influence he had on our lives and how we now do God's work on Earth.
Becoming a Christian out of fear is not what God wants.
God is so merciful and loving. If you read the Old Testament the Israelite's consistently rebelled against God and all he asked was for them to turn back to him. Much later Jesus sacrificed himself for the whole World to be saved. Jesus talked about Hell but it was rare compared to talking about love, kindness, forgiveness and helping others. So why do we talk about Hell so much? Also why are we holding on to things? Why are we passing by the homeless in the streets? Why do we shut the doors of our churches on people we disagree with? God says we must forgive to be forgiven, maybe it is time to remove the plank from our eyes instead of worrying about the neighbors speak of dust in someone else's eye?

These past weeks have been more productive than usual. Not only did I start and finish my third Sew Over It (SOI) Lulu top at a sitting , but I also finished other sewing projects that had been languishing on my sewing table.
First up is Colette patterns' Addison tank top; a loose, simple top which no closures, but with a cute collar.
Fabric – 100% navy cotton fabric with an all over leaf print from Fabric Time in navy and white. This was the remnant from making shirts for my sons, and I had to even resort to using scraps so I could have enough for the collar. The moral of the story is "never throw away even scraps".
Size – I graded from size 2 to 10. This is the first top/bodice where I 'nailed' the dart after grading from bust to waist/hip. Before that, I just eye-balled it 😉.
I made the front armhole about 3/8″ wider to give me more of an L-shape rather than the C-shape on the model above.
I also shaped it a bit, and I'm still able to put it on without any difficulty even with no closures.
I didn't use the all-in-one facing mainly because I didn't fancy the extra layer, and I didn't have enough fabric anyway. Instead I used shop-bought bias tape which made getting a mitred trough a bit tricky at the V. Next time, I'll try and make my own bias tape.
Inside view with contrast under collar and a not so successful mitred V.
The collar detail – it simply takes this top to beyond simple. I'm already thinking of combining this neck style with Penny (also by Colette) using a lovely Brodeirie Anglaise-like fabric I bought from Minerva Craft.
Easy to wear – Just slip it over your head, and off you go; no buttons or any other kind of closure needed.
It doesn't require a lot of fabric.
The slightly longer and curvy front hem.
The second is a chocolate simple lined skirt with a single kick pleat at the front, my go-to skirt style (below). Fabric is 100% cotton jumbo cord from myfabrics.co.uk. I used my skirt sloper for this, and for some reason, my zip ended up on the right side instead of my usual left.
Addison top with self-drafted jumbo cord skirt.
Ever since buying my first jumbo cord fabric from myfabrics.co.uk last year, I've fallen in love with particularly jumbo cords. In fact, I always check the remnants section of their website first because they usually have very good stuff especially if you don't need a lot of metreage. This particular one I believe is less than 1 metre and I still have some left. I love the versatility of corduroy because it can be worn all year. This skirt is my third me-made cord skirt.
After having a blast with making Addison, I then made Sew Over It Lulu top, and I chose a fabric I had in stash, remnants from an Addison dress hack I'd made previously. I've made this pattern twice before and I love both versions. It's a simple top with a front button and loop buttonhole. It's quick to make, and I even started and finished it at a sitting.
Fabric: 100% viscose from Abakhan. I've only used viscose once before, and it was a disaster, so I've refrained from using it until this make. I was ready this time though, and used a rotary cutter, instead of a pair of scissors for cutting.
Size: I graded from size 14 at the bust to 18 at the hips, a size bigger than I'd make for this top, but I wanted a looser and floaty fit to help cope with the very warm weather we've been having. This also resulted in a wider neckline which is very flattering.
Modification: I made a tie instead of a button, and curved the hem slightly.
My first two Lulu tops have been staples in my wardrobe, and this won't be an exception. The pattern looks good in the three different fabrics I've made it in so far- cotton lawn, stretch chiffon and now viscose. I particularly like the slinky viscose version because it only creases ever so slightly (I don't like when garments creases at the back, and don't ever return back to length).
That's it for this post, till next time.
Wow! You've been busy sewing! What great wardrobe pieces you've made! I love them all – especially the corduroy skirt. Thanks for sharing information on these indie patterns!

Water damage is one of the most destructive things that can happen to your home, because beyond the initial structural damage that occurs from having your basement or home flood, the residual moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth after the water has been drained – a serious health concern. Fortunately, there are a few things that you can do to reduce the risk of experiencing mold growth following water damage in your home.
Mold can be a serious problem for a homeowner, and it will be necessary to respond quickly and aggressively when this problem arises. Yet, there is enough misinformation concerning mold problems that homeowners may not be aware of what they should do in response to this problem. Myth: It Will Be Easy To Spot A Mold Problem One of the more common assumptions about mold issues is that they will always be extremely noticeable.
Whenever you need to keep your home free of water damage, it's important for you to leave the service to professionals in your city that can look out for you. Touching base with water damage restoration services companies will help you to make sure you're fixing the issues thoroughly, while also getting great prices on the work they offer. Take the time to follow these strategies so that you're in a great position to get the help you need from the best water damage professionals around.
Many people want to live off the grid but do not know how to do it. If you are considering a life of peace, tranquility, and absolute independence, you need to properly plan for it. Living in a yurt can be a great away to live a more modest life. When you live in a yurt, you have to consider where your water will be supplied from before you move into it.
Many homes are built with unfinished basements. This affords the homeowner the opportunity to finish their basement and choose the design elements that fit their needs. Homeowners use their basements in a variety of ways, so it is nice to be able to customize yours. Regardless of how you plan on using your basement, you need make sure the walls and floors are waterproof. Whether there is leaking from the upper levels, flooring or seepage from groundwater, your basement is very susceptible to water damage.

Basketball diaries is one of my fave. Raw film.
I'm a huge DiCaprio fan and for me personally, I think one of his finest performances is in "Blood Diamond." I'm also with Jessica above. "The Basketball Diaries" is amazing! It might be his best performance. An amazingly emotional portrayal of a druggie. Strangely, many might say his finest work was his first film (or one of his first), "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". He's just a boy in that one but he played a special needs autistic boy. Incredible!

Peter Okoye's Solo Journey as Mr P Since Splitting From P-Square
By stephanie.ekowa
In The NewsMusicians
Peter Okoye, professionally known as Mr. P, is a singer, dancer, record producer, songwriter, social activist, and multi-instrumentalist. He rose to fame in the year 2000 as a member of the defunct musical duo P. Square with his twin brother Paul. However, since their split, Peter has embarked on a solo career and has been doing well for himself ever since. He has released several albums and collaborated with other top artists in the Nigerian music industry.
His journey to fame as a solo artist has not been easy, but his determination to succeed has seen him rise above the messy split he had with his brothers. From being one of P. Square's music duo to adopting a new stage name Mr. P and forging ahead a solo career, there are lots of things he has accomplished for which he deserves accolades.
Mr. P, Peter Okoye As Part Of P. Square
Born as a twin on 18th November 1981 in Jos, Plateau State, Peter hails from Ifite Dunu in Anambra State, South Eastern Nigeria. Peter and his twin brother Paul went to St. Mulumba Secondary School Jos, where they joined a local music and dance group. There they discovered their passion for music, they danced and mimicked songs by Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, and Bobby Brown; his biggest inspiration was Michael Jackson.
A post shared by Mr P (@peterpsquare)
They formed a music group "Smooth Criminals" and were called different stage names, which include P&P, Double P, Da Pees and eventually they settled for P. Square. After the split of P. Square, Peter took the name Mr. P because P stands for the initials of his name Peter. However as part of P. Square, the duo produced hit tracks like "E No Easy" (2009), "Chop My Money" (2012), "Personally" (2013) etc.
Controversial Breakup Of P. Square
The brothers have gone a long way, and they showed each other unconditional love and affection, they even bought luxurious mansions in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, next to each other. They have had their fair share of creativity and success, from the KORA awards to touring overseas. However, what has a beginning must have an end, the duo had issues like any normal human being would. Some they resolved peacefully and some led to their final split.
The twins had a disagreement and broke up in 2016 over the role of their manager who happens to be their elder brother Jude Engees Okoye, apparently, Peter asked his brother Jude to resign as their manager but his brother Paul did not accept his opinion. They were able to resolve their differences, and they did a couple of songs together. That said, the reconciliation was short-lived as other personal issues arose, which hammered the final nail to the coffin.
Peter Okoye reportedly sent a resignation letter to his brother complaining bitterly. He stated that his brother Paul is generally uncooperative about matters concerning the group. He even went further to accuse his brother of slandering his wife and children on social media. The duo was scheduled to go on tour in the United States, but it was canceled. He even stated that his brothers were a threat to his life and that of his family; he reported that his brothers sent him life-threatening messages concerning him and his family.
Peter said he was afraid for his life that his brother intended to kill him and amass all the family wealth. Paul always shies away from explaining what happened. However, on further investigation, it was discovered that the problem started brewing when Peter married a Yoruba woman (Lola Omotayo-Okoye) who is older than him. The family was not happy with his choice of a wife so they protested the marriage.
After Their Split, Mr. P Pursued His Career As a Solo Artist
There was considerable doubt if Peter would succeed as a solo artist. It was believed that Peter Okoye was more of a dancer, while Paul was the singer. Peter has put in a lot of work and has proven to be relevant and a force to reckon with in the music industry. He gets his inspiration from the early 90s and early 2000s R&B singers. His type of music is dancehall, pop, old school R&B with Afrobeat. His first solo debut was "Cool it Down," while his second single "My Way" was a massive success reaching number 2 on Billboard's top 100 and number 1 in the UK top 40.
There are concerns about the future of his solo career, his "Cool it down" track samples lines from American R&B singer Mya's "Take me there" and "My Way" samples instrumentals used by Mario Winans, which features Diddy and co-produced by the Fugees. While with P. Square they had issues of remaking songs to make hits. Get Squared was similar to Usher's "Yeah" featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, "Temptation" was similar to "Clubbing" by Joe Budden.
Unfortunately, as a solo artist, he has fallen back to the old ways of doing things despite the evolution in the music industry and this has raised concerns. But he has the drive, the ability to pull good dance moves, and a fan base. He needs to work on his creative prowess to push himself beyond borders and unleash his full potential to keep his fan base dancing and nodding to his music.
He has had an illustrious carrier as a solo act and has featured artists like Niniola, Teni, Dj Switch, Tamar Jackson, Patoranking, and Wande Coal. He is currently signed to his own record label P. Classic Records. When asked about his solo journey, he explained that as a group, he had to share music proceeds with his brother and the management but that is no more, as he now shares only with the team members that work for him. He also said he has the freedom to do what kind of music he likes, attend the kind of functions he likes, without second thoughts, and it gives him the freedom to work proficiently.
Mr. P has gained some remarkable endorsement deals as a solo artist including a deal with German sportswear giants Adidas, and KIA Motors Nigeria. He partnered with American Distribution Company Empire as well started his own dance show "Glo Dance with Peter."
A Look At Mr. P's Discography
Mr. P has several hot songs that have thrilled his fans both home and abroad, a low down of his songs, and Albums are as follows;

The track Wokie Wokie with Nyanda of Brick and Lace was a massive hit in America and Jamaica as well. In 2019, he performed at DJ Xclusive's All White Party, Chivas Experience Show, and at the Xchange Concert.

Baltimore group seeks proposals for new Inner Harbor water attractions.
The organization is already moving forward with repairs to the unstable dock, he said.
Future attractions "may include active participation by the public in physical movement or travel and may include water features," according to the request for proposals.
Proposals should be for attractions that will be open, at minimum, during the city's April through October tourist season, the BDC said in the request. The BDC said it is especially interested in proposals for attractions that could be ready to operate by June 1 of next year.
Though the BDC said it is looking for an operator that will fix the unstable dock to be used for an attraction, other construction should be limited.
Any building structures included in the proposal should be temporary and removable and stored off-site during the off season. Structures and equipment should not interfere with other vendors or block the promenade walkway through the harbor area.
Proposals are due by 4 p.m. Nov. 1. BDC expects to award the contract late this year or early in 2017.

Gold Is a Currency
Gold and the U.S. Dollar
Problems With Gold Standards
Using Gold as a Currency
Throughout the ages, gold has captivated humanity. At the end of the gold standard, there was an increase in financial instability and inflation. During multiple stock market crashes in the first decade of the 21st century, the price of gold began to rise again. The idea of returning to the gold standard became more popular at that time. Admittedly, there were inherent problems with the gold standards implemented in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Many people fail to realize that gold is a currency under the current system. Gold has often been thought of in relation to the U.S. dollar, mainly because it is usually priced in U.S. dollars. There is a long-term negative correlation between the dollar and gold prices. These factors must be considered when we see that the price of gold is simply an exchange rate. Just as one can exchange U.S. dollars for Japanese yen, a paper currency can be exchanged for gold. Gold also played an essential part in the origin of money.
Throughout human history, gold has been used as a money-form in one way or another.
From gold coins to paper notes backed by the gold standard, only recently has money moved to a fiat system that is not backed by a physical commodity.
Since then, inflation and a declining dollar has meant rising gold prices.
By purchasing gold, people can also shelter themselves from times of global economic uncertainty.
Under a free market system, gold is a currency. Gold has a price, and that price will fluctuate relative to other forms of exchange, such as the U.S. dollar, the euro, and the Japanese yen. Gold can be bought and stored, but it is not usually used directly as a method of payment. However, it is highly liquid and can be converted to cash in almost any currency with relative ease.
It follows that gold acts like other currencies in many ways. There are times when gold is likely to move higher and times when other currencies or asset classes usually outperform. We can expect gold to perform well when confidence in paper currencies is waning, during wars, and when stocks suffer significant losses.
Investors can trade gold in multiple ways, including buying physical gold, futures contracts, and gold ETFs. Investors can also participate in the price movements without owning the underlying asset by purchasing a contract for difference (CFD).
Gold and the U.S. dollar have always had an interesting relationship. Over the long term, a declining dollar meant rising gold prices. In the short run, the relationship can breakdown.
The U.S. dollar's relationship to gold prices is a result of the Bretton Woods System. International settlements were made in dollars, and the U.S. government promised to redeem them for a fixed amount of gold. While the Bretton Woods system ended in 1971, the U.S. remained a global power. When people discuss gold, talk of the U.S. dollar usually follows.
It is also important to remember that gold and currencies are dynamic and have more than one input. The price of gold is impacted by far more than just inflation, the U.S. dollar, and wars. Gold is a global commodity and therefore reflects global factors, not just sentiment in one economy. For example, the gold price declined in 2000 when the U.K. government sold a large part of its gold reserves.
When considering gold as a currency, many people support moving back to some form of the gold standard. There were various problems with earlier gold standards.
One of the main problems was that the systems were ultimately reliant on central banks to play by the rules. The rules required central banks to adjust the discount rate to maintain fixed exchange rates. Fixed exchange rates sometimes resulted in high interest rates, which were politically unpopular. Many countries chose to devalue their currency against gold or the U.S. dollar instead.
A second problem with the gold standard was that there were still short-term price shocks, despite long-run price stability. The California gold discovery of 1848 is an excellent example of a price shock. This gold find increased the money supply, which raised expenditures and price levels, creating short-run economic instability. It should be noted that such economic disruptions did occur under gold standards. Also, every attempt to maintain a gold standard ultimately failed.
Without the gold standard, the price of gold fluctuates freely in the market. Gold is seen as a safe haven, and a rising gold price is often an indicator of underlying economic problems. Gold allows traders and individuals to invest in a commodity that can often partially shelter them from financial turmoil. As mentioned above, disruptions will occur under any system, even a gold standard.
There are times when it is favorable to own gold and other times when the overall trend in gold will be unclear or negative. Even though the official gold standards are now gone, gold continues to be impacted by other currencies. Therefore, gold must be traded like other currencies.
Switching to a stronger currency can be the key to preserving wealth. For example, Germans who held gold-backed U.S. dollars during the Weimar Republic hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920s became rich rather than poor. Even when no countries are on a gold standard, investors can still buy gold. When they buy gold, investors exchange their local currency for the currency of many of the most successful nations in history. The Roman Empire of Marcus Aurelius, Victorian England, and George Washington's America were all on the gold standard.
Switching to a stronger currency can be the key to preserving wealth.
By purchasing gold, people can shelter themselves from times of global economic uncertainty. Trends and reversals occur in any currency, and this is true for gold too. Gold is a proactive investment to hedge against potential risks to paper currency. Once the threat materializes, gold's advantage may have already disappeared. Therefore, gold is forward-looking, and those who trade it must be forward-looking as well.
Under a free market system, gold should be viewed as a currency like the euro, the Japanese yen, and the U.S. dollar. Gold has a long-standing relationship with the U.S. dollar, and it generally moves in the opposite direction in the long run. When there is instability in the stock market, it is common to hear talk of creating another gold standard. Unfortunately, a gold standard isn't a flawless system. Viewing gold as a currency and trading it as such can mitigate risks to paper currency and the economy. However, investors should be aware that gold is forward-looking. If one waits until disaster strikes, the gold price may already have risen too high to offer protection.

The current generation of climate models represents a significant advancement in sophistication over the previous generation. Improvements include increases in spatial and temporal resolution and better representation of physical processes. These improvements should lead to improvements in the quality of predictions and projections, but it is important that techniques are developed to critically assess these improvements in order to build the confidence in users and to identify the most likely targets for future investments.


Ember is a recent purchase from my cross country trip to PA, where I purchased her at the Mid-Atlantic Morgan sale. I grew up with Trophy bred horses, so I've always loved the Old Government lines and the breeding programs based upon them. As such I was really draw to this mares pedigree and as soon as I walked into the stall with Ember, I fell in love. With impeccable ground manners, and a gentle and giving nature, she is truly a sweetheart to work with! Well broke as a hunter mare, in the sales ring she was very elegant looking and just as prim and proper in her manners as she is on the ground! This mare really gets under herself and has beautiful, lofty reach on front, poetry in motion to sit and watch! She is a maternal sister to WC Jr. Exhibitor Park Saddle horse HVK Noble Flame.
I am so glad to be able to add this mare to my herd and am looking forward riding her all summer and fall. The photo of her dam (below) is at 24 years young - still introducing new students to Morgans and riding, I hope to have Ember as long!
NOT FOR SALE: Ember gave me a stunning filly (retained - by Intrigue) in 2010 and will be bred this spring for a 2012 foal.

Mental health study tries Capital Bikeshare as therapy
By Ashley Halsey III
Ashley Halsey III
Reporter covering national transportation
Many of the people who bicycle from place to place around Washington say they find it therapeutic. Now a new program will consider whether bicycling is effective therapy for people who may need it the most.
On the anniversary of its creation, the Capital Bikeshare program has embraced a study that will provide 20 mentally ill people with memberships, in part to help them get around town but also to see whether cycling improves their physical and mental health.
"The cool thing about the Bikeshare program is we're going to know exactly how much people are actually using membership because we'll get monthly reports on it," said Yavar Moghimi, the psychiatrist who proposed the program. "Basically, we'll have an estimate of how many miles people have ridden, how many calories they've burned. We'll know the locations — where they picked up the bike and where they dropped off the bike."
Moghimi said he hopes the year-long study will prove that enhanced mobility and physical activity improve the patients' mental health.
The 20 people selected for the study group range from the chronically schizophrenic to those beset by depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress. The only patients excluded from the program are those with cognitive disorders who might not be able to negotiate the bike.
"My hope is that there are unequivocal positive effects involving physical and mental health and that this project can be incorporated into other studies and sort of pave the way," said Josh Moskowitz, one of the Bikeshare program's managers.
The Bikeshare program has proved more popular than expected in the year since the cherry-red machines debuted on the streets of Washington and Arlington County. It now has 15,982 annual members, its bikes make an average of 4,000 trips each day, and the total number of trips taken hit 1 million Tuesday, on it's one-year anniversary.
"It's exceeded our expectations in terms of ridership, in terms of the core membership, and it's personally a wonderful experience to be involved in such a great project," Moskowitz said.
Almost 80 percent of the trips have been made by annual members, although there have been 66,534 24-hour and five-day memberships sold, according to Bikeshare data. The busiest Bikeshare docking station is where Massachusetts Avenue intersects with Dupont Circle, where more than 40,000 trips have originated.
Membership costs $75 for a year, $25 for a month, $15 for five days and $5 for 24 hours. Long-term members get a key to unlock a bike from the docking station; short-term members get a five-digit code to do it. The first 30 minutes of riding are free, but fees kick in after that until the bike is returned to another docking station.
The program will open 32 docking stations in new locations in the city this fall, increase the size of 18 existing stations and add 265 more bikes, bringing the total number to 1,365 in the District and Arlington. Arlington hopes to add 30 stations in the Rosslyn, Courthouse, Clarendon, Virginia Square and Ballston areas, and the program may expand to Rockville and Shady Grove next year.
The bikes have added another transportation option in the District, where more than a quarter of households do not own a car.
Moghimi, who works at Whitman-Walker Health, is developing the program in conjunction with the McClendon Center, a District facility that treats people with serious and persistent mental illness. He is funding it with grant money from the American Psychiatric Association.
The first patients enrolled in the Bikeshare study group received bike training Wednesday from instructors from the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. They also learned how the Bikeshare program functions and how to release and return a bike from one of the docking stations.
"Right now I spend a lot of time on Metro," said Madwkaego Williams-Holliman, who works in Beltsville, lives in the District and visits a gym in Alexandria. "With the bike I'll be able to just ride right across Memorial Bridge."
It had been a year since Williams-Holliman, a former bike mechanic, last rode a bike. For Dorothy Williams, 52, it had been a lot longer.
"I got my first bike when I was 16 and sold it when I was 17 and learned how to drive," she said as she prepared to climb onto one of the red Bikeshare machines for her first ride in Lafayette Park.
Many of the people in the program live below the poverty line, Moghimi said.
"Oftentimes they have a very difficult time getting around, missing appointments with potential job interviews, and a lot of people may have been involved with the legal system," he said. "Just general getting around the city, if you only have five bucks in your wallet, you're going to pick and choose the things that you have to go to."
Even signing up for Bikeshare becomes problematic for people who do not have the computer or credit card needed to get a membership.
After six months of Bikeshare participation, the patients will swap places with a control group that will ride for the next six months.
"The hypothesis is that people who have been riding bikes for six months will have a greater sense that they are healthier," Moghimi said. "They'll have a greater sense of mobility, that things are accessible to them in the city that weren't accessible before."
Capital Bikeshare plans to celebrate its one-year anniversary, which occurred Tuesday, during the free Birthday Bash from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Yards Park, on the Anacostia River near Nationals Park. There will be live music, moon bounces, food, games and prizes.

Geneva/Bamako (ICRC) – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirms that it has had no contact since Saturday with three of its staff members who were on assignment in Abeibara, which is about 140 kilometres north of Kidal.
"We are worried about our colleagues and we're doing everything we can to bring them back as quickly as possible," said Christoph Luedi, head of the ICRC's delegation in Mali. "At this time we don't know why this incident took place and we aren't speculating. It's too soon to say what impact it will have on our humanitarian work."
The ICRC is in contact with all the parties in northern Mali to get its staff members back as soon as possible.

England football star Marcus Rashford backs Welsh approach to free school meals over the holidays

Marcus Rashford has backed the Welsh approach to providing free school meals over the holidays.
The England and Manchester United superstar praised the Welsh Government when it announced that it would be investing £23 million to guarantee free school meals during the holidays in Wales throughout all of 2021 and through to Easter 2022.
The England footballer tweeted: "A great move, congrats" and included an emoji of the Welsh flag.
A great move, congrats 🏴 https://t.co/GMTv4EZ5JZ
— Marcus Rashford MBE (@MarcusRashford) December 21, 2020
Rashford, who experienced food poverty growing up, is piling on the pressure on the UK Government to do much more to tackle the issue in England. He has already forced Boris Johnson's government into two U-turns on free school meals.
He said:" 2021 has to be the year of change and to commitment to combat child food poverty across the UK once and for all. If 2020 has taught us anything it's that any one of us could fall into unforeseen circumstances. Now is the time for action."
The First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, made the announcement about free school meals yesterday.
'Pandemic'
He said: "When this cruel and fast-moving pandemic hit Wales, we led the way in becoming the first UK nation to fully fund free school meals throughout the holidays.
"In October we went further, guaranteeing that support right up to the Easter holidays of next year because this was the right thing to do.
"And as Marcus Rashford has so passionately demonstrated, the free school meals issue is just not about hunger. It is about saying to those children: 'You matter. You matter to us. We want you to have the very best.'"
"This isn't simply about food. It's about saying to those children that you are part of the society we share, and we want to invest in your future.
"And our test now is to deliver that support in the middle of this crisis. So today I can confirm that £23 million will be invested to guarantee free school meals during the holidays in Wales throughout all of 2021 and through to Easter 2022.
"This is action we can take now to provide more certainty and reassurance to those who need it the most.
"It is a moment for us to make clear to those children that we believe in them and that we will stand by them."


The periodic removal of shoals or sediments from existing navigational channels, berths, swinging moorings etc in order to maintain an appropriate safe depth of water for navigation, construction or operational purposes.
The PLA is responsible for maintaining navigable depths in the main channels of the tidal Thames. In practise, the PLA prefers to move channels as a solution rather than undertake frequent large scale dredging campaigns. However, there are a number of areas where sand waves and shoals form and it is not possible to move the channel, therefore, maintenance dredging must be carried out. Table 1 sets out the PLA's present maintenance dredging areas, methodologies, and frequency.
In common with other harbours with a significant degree of commercial or recreational use, the general duties and functions of the PLA are managed under statutory powers – in this case the Port of London Act 1968 (as amended).
Dredging falls under the conservancy function and, as with other harbour authorities for major harbours, the special legislation authorises the authority to deepen, dredge, scour and improve the bed and foreshore of the harbour etc. Clearly this is within the context of maintaining navigational channels and removal of wrecks and other obstructions to navigation. Hence this aspect of the conservancy function relates to securing safe and convenient navigation in the harbour.
Since the PLA's powers are included in an Act of Parliament, the need to obtain consent for navigational dredging under Section 34 of the Coast Protection Act 1949 is removed.
As with nearly all important commercial harbours, the PLA's special legislation prohibits persons other than the harbour authority from constructing works below mean high water or dredging without first obtaining a licence from the harbour authority.
Further information on dredging can be found at the website for the Central Dredging Association (CEDA).
Rarely as channels are managed.

Congressional Override Postpones Medicaid Pharmacy Cuts
Late Tuesday, the House and Senate voted by wide margins to override a presidential veto of H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, thus enacting the bill into law.
DAN ALAIMO | Jul 17, 2008
WASHINGTON — Late Tuesday, the House and Senate voted by wide margins to override a presidential veto of H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, thus enacting the bill into law. Among the pharmacy measures is one that delays implementation of drastic Medicaid pharmacy reimbursement cuts until September 2009. In both the House and Senate, votes were switched to support the measure after the veto, said Cathy Polley, vice president, pharmacy services, Food Marketing Institute, Arlington, Va. "We still need to work with Congress to secure a long-term fix and make sure that we continue to be able to serve our patients. But we are delighted with the outcome from yesterday," she told SN. "When you can get both bodies to vote in favor of it, and to hold on to override a veto, it certainly says the legislators were listening to what people in pharmacy thought is best for the industry and best for the customers," added Randy Heiser, vice president, pharmacy, Giant Eagle, Pittsburgh.

LAWNDALE � Grayson Gee isn�t the typical size for a center in high school football. But at 6-foot-1� and 165 pounds, his impact is unmistakable in the middle of the Burns offensive line.
He also serves as an important force at his linebacker spot on the other side of the ball.
Bulldog offensive line coach Steven Pack said a tireless work ethic, noticed by older players even when Gee was back in the eighth grade, helps Gee excel. It also manifests itself in the way he finishes plays for Burns (5-3, 3-0 SMAC), which is going for a third straight conference championship.
Gee has a feeling his size gives him an advantage on players who might rest on their laurels because they�re bigger. He is one of four experienced blockers starting along the offensive line. Gee started the season at tackle and also previously played guard and center.
It�s all part of trying to live up to something head coach Matt Beam told the players before the season to motivate a team that had graduated 22 seniors.

Adoption + Post Adoption
Preventing a Child From Becoming an Orphan Changes Everything
Saigon, 1972. Eighteen years into the Vietnam War.
That's when it all started for us. Vietnam was overwhelmed with children who had been orphaned by the war. Don and Marilyn Scott, who were relief workers there, founded a nutrition center to keep as many of these orphans alive as possible. At the same time, they asked Pam Larsen, an adoptive parent they knew, to pursue licensing for adoptions in Massachusetts. Many of these children had fathers who were American servicemen and the Scotts knew most of these orphans would have a better life in loving families in the US.
By 1974, our adoption license had been granted and we began placing orphans from Vietnam in the US. This all came to an end when Saigon fell, but as there were so many other countries in the world struggling to handle the number of orphans in their care, it just marked the next stage in our development.
Known as International Adoptions, we soon started building loving families for orphans from South Korea, Colombia and the US. We became Wide Horizons For Children in 1991, and soon started adoptions from China. After 20 years and having placed more than 2,000 orphaned children in their forever families in the US, one thing was clear.
The experience of being an orphan never disappears fully from a child's soul.
We knew our mission from that point onward was to do everything we could to help prevent a child from becoming an orphan.

Now live: best Black Friday deals on Nintendo Switch, Lite, and games
Posted 3 years ago by Dealzon
$30 Breath of the Wild and lots more
It's just shy of 11pm Eastern and Black Friday deals for the Nintendo Switch is popping live across the web. Since this Saturday, numerous deals have gone live but most have been just okay at best. Thankfully, things are slowly turning around as more Nintendo Switch console bundle deals are appearing online.
Walmart currently has the two holiday bundles of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Tennis Aces + 1-2 Switch in stock, for $299 and $329 respectively. If you don't really care about the games included, the next bet deal in our opinion is the Nintendo Switch Version 2 console at GameStop for full price, but GameStop is throwing in a $25 gift coupon as an extra incentive.
For Nintendo Switch Lite Black Friday deals, you'll probably need to search far and wide for anything that's decent. So far we're seeing a modest deal at Walmart where you can pick up the Turquoise color console for full price with a bonus free case ($10 value, yay). Another more interesting deal with a street value of around $25 bonus are the Switch Lite bundles at Kohl's, which are priced at $250 and $245, and in return for buying more random accessories bundled in with the Switch Lite, you'll receive $75 or $60 cash to be used after Cyber Monday (good for online or in-store). If you don't shop at Kohl's these aren't as strong of an incentive.
Finally, game deals are actually very decent with many 1st party Nintendo titles at up to 50% off! Example includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for only $30, Super Mario Party for $30, and more. Just a note that some of these are already showing stock issues, so you'll need to act quick if you see something you like.
Update 11/29: This should be the last update for this post as we rounded up the latest Nintendo Switch console system deals for Black Friday. As of 2pm Pacific, most deals below are still valid. Note that the deals at Rakuten with BF20 code will expire later tonight.

In the 40-plus years the Oregon Department of Energy has administered the Residential Energy Tax Credit program, our agency has typically seen an increase in tax credit applications in January, when Oregonians are preparing to file their personal income taxes. This tax season has been a little different: the uptick in applications started in November, and the applications, emails, and phone calls continue to come in at a dizzying pace. Application numbers in December 2017 were almost double what we saw in December of 2016. Further, RETC-related phone calls increased about 45 percent in February, compared to the same month last year.
The increase in volume this tax season can likely be attributed to the 2017 end of the RETC program, which began in 1975. Specific deadlines for the RETC "sunset" prompted applicants to get moving sooner. Also, anyone who was thinking of installing a RETC-approved device in 2018 or 2019 had to move up their plans to qualify for the state's incentive.
To handle the recent surge, we added four temporary workers, allowed some full-time staff to work overtime, and worked with our information technology staff on strategies to improve workflow. Three RETC team members and two receptionists have been going pretty much nonstop on applications since last fall. As of late February, there was about a 10-week turnaround time on applications.
They needed to purchase their new device by December 31, 2017.
That device must be operational before April 1, 2018, including any necessary inspections.
All applications must be received by ODOE before June 1, 2018.
Like in years past, some applicants won't be able to get the needed paperwork done by the time they file their taxes. For people in this situation, they have two options: file for an extension or file an amended return.

Q: How to make td (table cell) height to be the same as an  (link element) height? I have created a simple example https://jsfiddle.net/9usfctbp/ that contains the issue.
There is a code from fiddle:

        Link

a {
  display: block;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 16px;
}

Expected result: td has height 16px the same as a link.
Actual result: td has height 18px that is 2px more than a link height.

A: try removing the padding from the td elements :
/* if you only want to keep the same height */
td {
   padding-top: 0;
   padding-bottom: 0;
}

/* or remove the padding from all edges */

td {
   padding: 0;
}

A: set margin,padding, border, td element to 0 and set its line-height property to same value of font-size of the a element

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

td {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  border: none;
  line-height: 16px;
}

a {
  display: block;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 16px;
}

Those working in the homelessness sector will use the website to quickly access information about which services are available.
LHF in partnership with Homeless Link has launched Atlas, an interactive website that allows people to view service information and statistics across London in a specific borough or at a multi-borough level.
Commissioners, policy makers and others working in the homelessness sector will use the website to quickly access information about which services are available and the latest statistics on rough sleeping.
The launch comes after initial research by the partnership revealed that there are nearly 9,000 accommodation beds spaces for single homeless people in London, with at least 122 organisations providing single homelessness services in the capital.
Simon Dow, Executive Chairman of the LHF, said: "We believe the LHF Atlas provides a clear up-to-date view of who is doing what in terms of providing for homeless people in each London borough.
On the website launch, Becky Rice, Project manager, added: "We will be looking at how the new Atlas could be useful to new audiences, including frontline staff, members of the public and local politicians.

In den folgenden Jahrzehnten wirkte er unter anderem an den Wuppertaler Bühnen, am Berliner Schiller-Theater unter der Leitung Boleslav Barlogs und am Hamburger Thalia Theater, wo er zum Beispiel Auftritte in Warten auf Godot (1972), Schmutzige Wäsche (1978/79) oder Das Verhör (1987) hatte.

A Man with Weakness and Difficulty Chewing
What are some of the features of ALS?
Signs of lower motor neuron dysfunction include muscle cramps, atrophy, and fasciculations. Spasticity and hyperreflexia are the most readily identifiable signs of upper motor neuron disease. Read the latest Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital here.
Q: What is multifocal motor neuropathy?
A: Multifocal motor neuropathy is an immune-mediated, demyelinating polyneuropathy that causes insidious, progressive, asymmetric weakness of the arms and legs. Nerve-conduction studies typically reveal characteristic features of demyelination. Multifocal motor neuropathy is a treatable disorder; symptoms often improve after treatment with intravenous immune globulin. Among patients with suspected amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multifocal motor neuropathy is the most commonly identified mimic that causes lower motor dysfunction.
Q: Do patients with myasthenia gravis uniformly have associated autoantibodies?
A: Fatigable weakness is the hallmark of myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disorder that affects the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction. Some patients with myasthenia gravis, including 50% of those with isolated ocular myasthenia gravis, are seronegative for the autoantibodies associated with myasthenia gravis; however, only 10 to 20% of patients with myasthenia gravis that causes weakness outside the ocular region are seronegative.
Q: What are some of the features of ALS?
A: To receive a clinical diagnosis of ALS, the patient must have signs of both lower and upper motor neuron degeneration, progressive spread both within and between regions of the body, and no laboratory, electrodiagnostic, or imaging findings suggestive of alternative diagnoses. The distribution of weakness in ALS varies. Insidious, asymmetric weakness of the arms and legs is most common; 25 to 40% of patients present with isolated bulbar weakness. Less than 10% of patients present with symmetric proximal weakness. Elevated creatine kinase levels are not specific for myopathy and can be seen in neuropathic disorders, as well. For example, approximately 40% of patients with ALS have elevated creatine kinase levels, and the levels are typically 1 to 2 times the upper limit of the normal range. Accumulation of intraneuronal TD-P43, a protein that is encoded by the TARDBP gene, is associated with sporadic ALS and with combined ALS and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
Q: Does the presence of dysfunction of the neuromuscular junction rule out the possibility of ALS?
A: Fluctuating weakness is not exclusive to neuromuscular junction disorders and has been recognized in patients with ALS. In fact, ALS and other disorders may cause secondary dysfunction of the neuromuscular junction. As motor neurons are lost in ALS, surviving neighboring axons attempt to reinnervate muscle fibers that have been denervated, leading to the formation of immature neuromuscular junctions. An abnormal decremental response to repetitive nerve stimulation is typically associated with neuromuscular junction disorders but has been noted in more than one quarter of patients with ALS.


Your treatment starts with a thorough skin and medical check with the VISIA Skin Complexion Analysis.
Next is the Jet Peel – using air instead of needles, this is a powerful new technology that delivers a fresh, natural and youthful looking skin.
It exfoliates, hydrates, massages and detox's the skin through lymphatic drainage.
This is used in preparation for Genuine Dermaroller – using thousands of microneedles to stimulate collagen production.
The aim is in 6 weeks new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated with enhanced blood supply increasing oxygen and nutrients to feed the skin giving visible signs of skin regeneration.
Growth Factors are then applied which deliver DNA repair and anti-oxidant protection. Together with retinol, this boosts collagen and stimulates cellular function.
Light Therapy follows to heal the skin, and then our exclusive Collagen Mask & Serum are used for intensive skin therapy to restore the resilience and luminosity of the skin.
SPF is then applied to protect the skin.
The Inglefield Facial is exclusive to LBPS and costs £950.


People with posttraumatic stress disorder sometimes use negative coping behaviors to deal with problems. Although negative coping may seem to help at first, the behaviors actually cause more harm than good and can worsen PTSD symptoms over time.
Anger is an understandable response to trauma. However, uncontrolled anger can result in many problems—causing emotional distance between you and your loved ones, leading to violence and reckless behavior, and making it more difficult to recover from a traumatic event. Learning how to deal with anger is an important part of PTSD treatment.
For people with PTSD, certain situations—and even people—can increase stress, cause fear and anger, and/or stir up bad memories. Although distancing yourself from others and avoiding uncomfortable situations may seem a good idea, isolating yourself can cause PTSD symptoms to build up and lead to feelings of sadness and loneliness. Social support is necessary for health recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder.
Risky behavior—driving too fast, starting fights, etc.—is common in people who are struggling with PTSD. Negative coping behaviors also include starting to smoke (or smoking more than usual) and developing unhealthy eating habits. Avoiding dangerous behaviors can reduce the risk of injuring yourself or others or damaging your health.
It's only natural to be extra cautious and alert after experiencing a traumatic event; however, learning to deal with these feelings is an important part of recovery for people with PTSD. Being constantly on guard can affect your physical, mental, and emotional health in many ways.
People with PTSD may "throw themselves into their work." Working hard can be beneficial—improve confidence, provide interaction with others and financial gain, increase knowledge, etc.—but it can also be a way to avoid dealing with fearful memories or uncomfortable situations.
Some people with posttraumatic stress disorder use work to avoid family members and friends. Work also becomes a negative coping behavior when it interferes with PTSD treatment and/or your ability to eat right, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep.
Alcohol and drug abuse are serious concerns for people with posttraumatic stress disorder, who may use these substance to feel better, escape everyday problems, reduce PTSD symptoms, help them sleep, etc. Drinking alcohol excessively, abusing prescription medications, or using illicit drugs can jeopardize your health, your relationships, your job, and other aspects of your life.
Talk to your health care provider if you have a problem with drugs or alcohol. Be sure to use all prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications as directed.
If you or someone you love begins using these negative coping strategies after experiencing a traumatic event, contact your health care provider or mental health professional to learn about positive ways of dealing with posttraumatic stress.

O Serrano Futebol Clube é um clube brasileiro de futebol, sediado na cidade de Serra Talhada, em Pernambuco. Fundado em 1 de outubro de 1983, é da mesma cidade de Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, o célebre cangaceiro Lampião, e por isso possui uma torcida organizada em homenagem a esse fato, os Lampiões da Fiel. Inicialmente, era um clube amador, e notabilizou-se em 2004 no Campeonato Pernambucano Série A1, se tornou-se o único time a derrotar o Sport, nas duas partidas.

Manda seus jogos no Estádio Nildo Pereira de Menezes, o "Pereirão", com capacidade para receber 3.000 torcedores. Possui como cores oficiais o preto e o amarelo. Seu mascote é um jumento e seu hino foi composto pelo cantor e compositor Rui Grudi.

Depois de ser rebaixado em 2009 para a Série A2 do Pernambucano de 2010, o Serrano envolveu-se em uma confusão política e se licenciou dos campeonatos promovidos pela Federação Pernambucana de Futebol, permanecendo com o status de licenciado durante três anos. Em maio de 2013 com a convocação de eleições para o conselho deliberativo e diretoria executiva o Jumento de aço que detém cerca de 70% da torcida serra-talhadense teve sua retomada às atividades confirmada com a divulgação da tabela da Série A-2 de 2013.

Após mais uma pausa em suas atividades, o Serrano anunciou em 2018 seu retorno ao futebol profissional, junto com o vereador André Maio, que venceu as eleições do clube e se tornou presidente do clube. Robério Souza seria o treinador do clube, mas alegou problemas pessoais e pediu para sair. No mesmo ano chegou à semifinal da Série A2.

Em 2019, anunciou a contratação de 3 jogadores conhecidos no futebol pernambucano: o volante Vagner Rosa (defendeu, entre outros, Porto.  , , Central,  e ), o lateral Renatinho (campeão da Série C com o Santa Cruz em 2013) e o atacante Flávio Caça-Rato, que atuou nos 3 principais times do estado e também vestiu as camisas de , América de Natal, Remo e . No entanto, eles não chegaram a entrar em campo em partidas oficiais, depois que a FPF excluiu o Serrano e outras 8 equipes da segunda divisão por falta de laudos nos estádios.

Em 2021, volta a disputar a Série A2 depois de um ano fora do futebol profissional, usando o estádio Vianão, em Afogados da Ingazeira, para as partidas como mandante, pois o estádio Pereirão não possuía condições para sediar jogos. Teve a pior campanha entre os participantes: um empate e 5 derrotas, com um ponto conquistado (empaado com  e , porém com saldo de gols inferior). Para a temporada 2022, o Serrano mandará seus jogos no estádio Gaudenção, em Itacuruba.
