The network eschews classic strategies of horizontal strips and vertical stacks in favor of a diverse mix of series, specials, and movies on each night. Multiple exhibitions expose core series and anthology brands to wider audiences across the days and dayparts. In late 2006, they introduced a consistently scheduled block on Fridays. Titled "Sure Thing Fridays", it started with TRICK MY TRUCK and FOXWORTHY. More recent residents include GONE COUNTRY, CAN YOU DUET, MY BIG REDNECK WEDDING, and CMT CRIBS. The block has since shifted to Saturdays. It remains the only consistent platform for premiere series on the network. Movies are taking a larger presence across the week, now occupying around 30% of the total schedule. While there are no regularly scheduled movie timeslots, Sundays have provided a good home for some of the better known titles.
The transition is just about complete. CMT has been moving towards light entertainment/reality and away from music for months now. In April, only one music program can be found in prime as two more reality series were introduced. More on the specfic programs below.
On the numbers side, things are misleading this time around. Men are down 20-30% from last year, women are closer to par. Last year, the CMT AWARDS ran in early April, drawing massive audiences in both demos. The 2009 awards show has been shifted to June. April will lose, June will gain and all will be right with the world.
May nosedived last year. This year, the momentum from the reality series should continue, bringing with some really nice annual increases in time for the upfront selling season.
Two new series hit the schedule this month. British format, WORLD'S STRICTEST PARENTS, was adapted to the US, running in the 9pm slot on Saturdays. The numbers were fantastic. Top rated series for women by a long shot. Editorially, the format takes problem children, places them with a stable family with rules, and, after a few made for TV moments, comes out with the obligatory happy ending, at least in most cases. It's a good example of the positive, heartwarming subset within the reality genre that can thrive in the right environment. Of course, the greatest example of that subset is EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION.
Speaking of which, EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION, lost some of its momentum from March, dropping significantly in the female demo. Men weren't watching the series to begin with, so no drop detected. This is the second month of the double strip for EXTREME MAKEOVER. Maybe too much of a good thing?
NANNY 911 was the second new series to hit this month. Just original episodes of the offnet reality series, this one clicked very well with the female audience. Fell just behind PARENTS in delivery of women for the both key demos. The two series appear to dovetail very well, becoming a formidable one-two punch on Saturday nights. The challenge is going to be the small number of original episodes. Expect renewals and quick.
The redneck genre was still well represented with MY BIG REDNECK WEDDING and TRICK MY TRUCK. Both series held their own this month, although we're still not sure about TRICK MY TRUCK on this schedule given its heavy male skew.
RODNEY, an off-net acquisition made a brief appearance in a Sunday stack late in the month. Audience numbers were strong, but they were almost all men. No surprise if you know the premise of the show. Maybe they can team with a few eps of TRICK MY TRUCK?
Finally, the lone music special this month was Rascal Flatts. Despite their status as one of the most popular country/pop bands going right now, they could barely muster enough viewers to register on the dial. Rascal Flatts probably draws more people for their arena performances on a good weekend than they garnered here. Another example of the music genre struggling as prime time television in the modern era.

As a child enters puberty, his/her skin will begin to change how it looks and how it behaves, as hormone production increases.
The most obvious change is usually the increase of oil on the surface of the skin, which can lead to a pimply breakouts or enlarged pores with "blackheads".
For some teens they might notice more uneven skin colour, uneven texture or their skin becoming more flaky or sensitive.
How a teen deals with the changes of his/her skin will greatly impact on the condition of their skin in future so it is very important for a teen going through puberty to develop and maintain good skincare habits early. The earlier the teen begins, the better and the less issues they will have to deal with as they get older.
The biggest challenge teens face with their continually changing skin is dealing with spots and pimples. They are selfconscious in general but now with the evolution of the 'selfie' this has become even more so.
When a pimple or even blackhead pops up, a teen's first inclination is to squeeze it themselves, however it's very important for them to know that this is definitely the wrong thing to do.
Squeezing a pimple incorrectly will more often than not result in bacteria being pushed further into the skin, causing another spot to appear in a different area of the face.
It can also result inskin inflammation causing redness and sensitivity as well as scarring.
In the case of a seriously acne skin, the scarring referred to as 'pitted scarring' is a long term problem that is not at all easy to address.
As every skin is different and there are different products for different skin types and conditions, it's important that a trained professional diagnoses a teen's skin and prescribes the best products suitable to them.
Using the wrong product can cause a whole new set of problems. The skin can become even more clogged, more irritated and more uneven!
A good start to a skincare routine is a cleanser, exfoliator, moisturiser and sun protection. Where necessary a spot treatment or corrector may also be recommended. Not only what's prescribed is different for different skins but how to use them will also be different.
How often the teen exfoliates will largely depend on the skin type but will also depend on the ingredients used. If you over exfoliate you will again create more problems in the future by aggravating the skin leading to inflammation.
Acne sufferers should definitely be looking for products that containthe ingredient salicylic acid due to the antibacterial properties and it's ability to get into the pores to control and scoop out the bacteria.
At such an early age, it's a good idea to combine your morning moisturising routine with an SPF protection applied after. Teens need to be trained at an early age that unprotected sun exposure will have a detrimental effect on the texture, even skin colour and youthfulness of the skin in the future as UV rays are the biggest causes of premature skin ageing.
•After cleansing in the morning, moisturise then apply an SPF.At night, apply moisturiser only.
We have designed a great package to help Teens with their skin concerns that will give their homecare a boost and results beginning more quickly.
Our Simple Skin Solutions Package takes out all the guess work out of which product do I use, how to use and when to use.
We customize a simple Skin program and present you with a laminated How to Guide on how to use your products.
We also put you on a small intensive results driven treatment program designed to boost results so you can achieve your skin goals sooner.

The UK areas where house prices have increased the most in the last decade
One area saw its property prices rocket by a whopping 113.6%
By Sophie Wills
6th Oct 2022, 11:52am
New research has revealed the UK areas where house prices have increased - and dropped - the most in the past 10 years.
The study was carried out by CMC Markets, which analysed house price data from the Office for National Statistics for each local authority in the UK between 2012 and 2022.
The figures revealed which areas saw the highest increase in house prices, therefore providing the highest return on investment.
Waltham Forest in London, which saw its property prices rocket by 113.6% within the last decade, took the spot.
Meanwhile, the City of Aberdeen has seen the worst return on investment in the UK for property, as it is the only area to see a decrease in house prices since 2012.
Areas where house prices increased the most in the UK
Where is it and why is it so popular? Waltham Forest is a borough in north-east London. It's one of London's greenest boroughs thanks to its forested areas, and boasts excellent transport links into central London via its own Tube and overground stations.
Average house price in 2012: £226,741.68
Percentage increase: 113.6%

For over the 30 Years William Stanley & Sons Paving Contractors has provided both residential and commercial property owners in the Portland area with new, environmentally friendly pristine driveways. Our passion is paving and we take pride in the high quality of work we deliver with a detailed oriented paving process. Here is a step by step overview of the driveway installation process – from demolition to smooth new asphalt pavement.
The first step in the asphalt installation process involves removing the existing pavement surface.
Using heavy equipment we completely remove the old surface, whether it be concrete or asphalt. The surface will need to be completely clear with no grease or oil stains.
The debris and old asphalt is removed and recycled. Homeowners love that fact that William Stanley & Sons adheres environmentally friendly procedures and practices. Nearly 100% of the old asphalt can be recycled into strong new durable asphalt.
Grading ensures proper water drainage is achieved, preventing the driveway from collapsing.
Using laser guided motion graders our specialized team grades the driveway or other surfaces to ensure that proper water runoff occurs. Water is the major cause of damage to asphalt, and if not properly graded, potholes and cracks can occur over time.
All low spots are filled to achieve a proper level grade. William Stanley & Sons conforms to an optimal slope of 2 inches for every 10 feet. Or 2%.
This could be the most important part of the paving process and ensures long term stability.
Using heavy machinery such a drum roller, the soil is then compacted which supports the new pavement.
The foundation which acts as a "frost barrier" helps reduce the damage which is a common cause of damage in the Pacific Northwest from freezing and thawing.
If the sub-base is properly compacted and has the correct thickness the asphalt surface will provide years of durability.
This crushed rock layer is the strength of the new asphalt surface.
The crushed rock, which is mixed with oil creates a strong durable layer of strength for the new asphalt surface which will be applied next.
Crucial for proper drainage, the course and jagged rock composition (usually no larger than ¾") will then be packed into the sub-base soil.
Step 5. Install New Asphalt.
Once the supportive rock bases have been applied it's time for the top layer of fresh smooth asphalt to be applied.
Made with a natural hot mix of sand, hot oil, and asphalt emulsion, the new layer is mixed with a smaller ½ inch rock asphalt and finer to a temperature nearly 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
This combination creates a shiny, jet black attractive finish to the driveway or paved surface.
Most often the new asphalt will connect to an adjacent paved surface or concrete structure such as a sidewalk. It is important that a smooth transition from the new asphalt driveway to an older connecting surface is maintained.
To ensure that grading and water runoff occurs seamlessly we smooth over these transitions so that drivers or pedestrians don't notice a difference.
If transitioning from new asphalt to old asphalt a "tack coat" or pavement bonding is necessary. A thin liquid asphalt emulsion is applied to promote bonding between the two surfaces.
Using a heavy duty drum roller, the final roll is applied until the asphalt is cooled off and smoothed.
This final step ensures that there are no small bumps or irregularities left popping up through the new asphalt overlay surface.
With over 30 years of experience in asphalt paving experience, from parking lots to driveways, we are Portland's premier paving contractors for all your paving needs.

Counselling and psychotherapy sessions last for 50 minutes, EMDR for 60 minutes and standard hypnotherapy sessions last for 1 and a quarter hours. If you wish to experience past life or interlife regression the length of the session can be considerably longer. Couples counselling sessions last 60 minutes.
The fee is £65 for individual counselling and psychotherapy during the daytime and £70 for an evening session (after 5pm). The fee for EMDR is £120 during the daytime and £130 after 5pm. For couples work the fee is £75 during the daytime and £85 after 5pm. A standard hypnotherapy session costs £100. Separate fees apply for current, past life and interlife regression. My fee for supervision is £65 per hour. Please contact me for further details.
The way we work together will depend on you and what you need. Whether we work together short or long term I offer an open, supportive and non-judgemental atmosphere. This means you can bring any issue that is affecting you no matter how challenging it feels.
There are no guarantees, but generally people feel better fairly quickly after seeing a counsellor. The fact that they have begun to work on their problems tends to improve their self-esteem. People often report feeling that they are better able to communicate with others and more assertive after counselling. Most importantly, they feel better able to create the life they want. The counsellor's support and the feeling that they are not "going it alone" can also help.
Do you give counselling over the telephone or via Skype?
Yes I offer telephone and Skype counselling. Please contact me to find out more.
I am bound by the Code of Ethics and Practice of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also bound by the Code of Ethics of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council. That means everything you say is confidential, apart from rare exceptions which apply to all therapists and counsellors, and which we can discuss at our first meeting. In addition I undertake regular supervision of my work, always keeping a client's identity anonymous.
Having made contact (usually by telephone), we agree a time and date for an initial session which offers you an opportunity to get a sense of whether you wish to proceed or not. This session is chargeable at the same rate as outlined above. If we decide together that I can be of help, then we will set an agreed time and date for further sessions. If you feel after the initial session that you do not wish to continue, you are under no obligation to do so.
What's the difference between counselling and hypnotherapy?
In a nutshell, hypnotherapy involves going into a deeply relaxed state to help you get in touch with deeply held emotions that might be holding you back. Counselling and psychotherapy tend to be longer term and address issues that revolve around relationships and patterns of relating and communicating. I am happy to work with both modalities when it is useful for the client. My training and experience as a psychotherapist can make the hypnotherapy more containing and effective.
How many counselling or psychotherapy sessions will I need?
This is difficult to say without meeting but my aim is to see you for as few sessions as you need. Sometimes there can be relief in a few sessions simply by feeling understood and going on to make the necessary changes, particularly if the issue is of recent origin. For issues that are longer term we may need to do additional work. We can review on a regular basis and you are free to stop at any time.
Do I have to pay if I cancel?
You need to give 48 hours notice to cancel a session, otherwise the full fee is payable.

Q: Setting custom properties on EntityFrameworkCore Model I am having a table to store individual pages of courses. The table looks like :
Pages :
---------------------------------------------------
CourseId | LessonId | TopicId | Url
---------------------------------------------------
    1    |     1    |    0    | lesson-1
---------------------------------------------------
    1    |     1    |    1    | lesson-1-Topic-1
---------------------------------------------------
    1    |     1    |    2    | lesson-1-Topic-2
---------------------------------------------------
    1    |     1    |    3    | lesson-1-Topic-3
---------------------------------------------------
    1    |     2    |    0    | lesson-2

---------------------------------------------------
    1    |     2    |    2    | lesson-2-Topic-2
---------------------------------------------------

The CourseId, LessonId & TopicId are integers and constitute the Primary Key for the table. This model enables me to quickly know the lesson, the topic serial no. , topics in a lesson.
I wish to have entity model like :
Public class Page
{
   public int CourseId {get;set;}
   public int LessonId {get;set;}
   public int TopicId {get;set;}

   // Need to write custom logic to fetch and set below properties
   // Whenever this entity is initialized
   public Page PreviousPage {get;set;}
   public Page NextPage {get;set;}
   public Page LessonPage {get;set;}
   public ICollection<Page> ChildPages {get;set;}
}

How can i set these custom properties within the model ? We can query the DB in the controller and set these properties. Wouldn't that push the application logic in the controller ?

Why the best way to encourage digital innovation is not to fund it
Give people the space to grow and reward people for ideas rather than their output and innovation will come, says Frazer Bennett, a member of PA Consulting's management team
Bill Goodwin, Computer Weekly
CIOs face growing pressure to help their organisations develop innovative technology that will keep them ahead of the competition.
That is on top of their day job, which is to maintain the technology that will keep the business running.
"Here are the two roles: keep everything going; and, at the same time, disrupt," says Frazer Bennett, a member of PA Consulting Group. "It is fundamentally impossible."
PA Consulting develops technologies for clients across multiple industries, and its specialisms include analytics, robotics and security.
Bennett runs a laboratory full of creative people in Cambridge, comprising 250 scientists, software specialists, engineers and chemists, but their budget comes from its clients so they have to do what the clients want.
So, what happens when PA's engineers and programmers come up with an innovative idea? "I don't fund them," says Bennett.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but Bennett believes that funding good ideas causes more harm than good.
Read more about digital innovation
Three steps CIOs can take to drive innovation in their organisations.
This report from PA Consulting shows business leaders how to learn from other companies to implement innovation in their organisation and improve its culture.
Everything about PA Consulting is designed to encourage innovation. Its top managers encourage people to "rock the boat" and reward ideas, as well as people's performance.
"Innovation is not a department," says Bennett. "You can't just put a name on a door or have a bunch of hackathons and expect it to happen. Innovation is in the culture.
"It starts at the top, when leaders show – not say – that innovation is important. They celebrate innovation because it is the culture they want to achieve."
PA takes on interns during the summer, and gives them the freedom to pursue projects that do not have a commercial deadline.
The company's laboratories in Cambridge happen to overlook arable farmland. "We had interns flying drones over the crops that were due to be harvested, using artificial intelligence to calculate crop yields, identify whether they were ready for harvest and where the weeds were," he says.
Why leaders should protect people with ideas
Encouraging this sort of innovation may not require big bucks, but if CIOs want it to develop in their organisations, doing nothing is not an option.
The best business leaders will identify the innovators in their organisation – those who want to question the status quo to find new ways of doing things – and give them the breathing space to work.
More often than not, organisations are structured in a way that discourages innovation. They may not be full of truculent people pushing back, but commercial pressures can make life difficult for innovators.
"I don't have a Dragon's Den-style committee. I just make sure people have enough latitude to grow"
Frazer Bennett, PA Consulting Group
It's the role of business leaders to protect innovators from the rest of the organisation, and to reward their input rather than their output.
In one case, the chief technology officer (CTO) of a top-tier pharmaceutical company identified an individual in his organisation who wanted to improve the effectiveness of the company's drugs by combining them with smart sensor technology.
"The CTO was able to ring fence this individual, and give them enough budget and protection from people in the rest of the organisation who were focused on business as usual," he says. "The CTO was rowing against the tide, and the brand holders and drugs developers were all pushing back."
Not every idea will be a winner, so it's important for leaders to allow their teams to work on a range of projects. It's a matter of statistics: some will fail and some will work, and it's a case of placing the right bets.
Innovation requires little funding
"It is surprising how little funding innovation needs," says Bennett. Startups, for example, can make a big impact with very little cash.
"I don't have a Dragon's Den-style committee. I just make sure people have enough latitude to grow. If they believe in the idea, they will spend their own time and energy on it."
There is a limit to how far one person can take an idea, and when they reach this limit, Bennett still argues that funding is not the solution. "Their next job is to persuade their mates they have a good idea," he says.
Measuring glucose levels
For example, one of PA's chemists was interested in new ways of measuring glucose levels in the blood. He started on the project in his own time, and then teamed up with an engineer and a software specialist.
"Rather than funding projects with review boards and targets, you let them get on with it, fuel it with the enthusiasm of the individual," he says. "That can be a good filter. If they can't enthuse their friends, maybe it's not a good idea."
In this case, the work on blood glucose turned out to be a very good idea. At that point, PA stepped in with funding to develop a business case.
It turned out that existing blood glucose meters were inaccurate, which was of great concern to the US Food and Drugs Administration. PA's blood glucose meters showed a double-digit improvement in accuracy.
Within a year and a half, PA had run its own clinical trials, set up a spin-off company to exploit the technology, and is now negotiating licence deals with glucose meter manufacturers.
"We did it by trying not to come in early or pick winners, and letting the people who are closest to those ideas determine their success, rather than a team of executives who are not close enough to the challenge or the opportunity," says Bennett.
3D printing in food manufacturing
PA's latest idea is to use 3D printing technology to enable food manufacturers to produce products that are personalised to individual customers, while still retaining the scale and cost benefits of mass production.
"We are printing flavours, so you can have a production line producing cookies, crisps or potato chips which can individually coat the products with a customised flavour," he says.

If you're an economist, and if you're in many business groups, then you think you know it's all about self-interest. That's the only thing you ever appeal to. The design principles in Prosocial provide a different kind of functional blueprint for what a group wants to become. The first element, psychological flexibility, increases the capacity for change. Change is difficult. I've started to think about ACT— acceptance and commitment therapy—as an evolutionary process at the individual level that changes evolution at other levels.
Lin Ostrom's Nobel Prize-winning research is studied mostly in the context of common-pool resource groups. And we generalized it in two ways. One is to show that the design principles follow very generally from multi-level selection theory, from the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation. Once you take that on, it becomes clear that these design principles should really apply to all groups. The Zeitgeist in business groups is often one of complete selfishness, social Darwinism; we expect that everyone is motivated by self-interest, and presume that competition within groups is a good thing. The whole model of leadership is often very top-down and so in the context of some backgrounds, the core design principles, as a blueprint for a well-functioning group, are highly counterintuitive and counseled against by the prevailing worldview.
This paradigm creates a third way between total laissez-faire on one hand, and command-and-control on the other hand. It's called polycentric governance, because you have to address the larger scales in addition to the smaller scales. Those design principles—they've got teeth, like altruism with attitude. They dictate what you can and cannot do. The first design principle defines the group and who's in it, and if you're not in it, you don't get to share the common-pool resource. So prosociality requires not just figuring out what's prosocial within the group, but also how does a group fit into a larger, multigroup social organization that in turn is prosocial.

Coral Canyon Elementary – Back to School HOT DOG Dinner!
The Jones Family Band enjoys playing together! They have budding musicians typically beginning around age 5. Four of them have attended Coral Canyon Elementary. They reside in Leeds. Tiffany Jones (mom) wrote our school song!
4 Fathers started singing together after doing a show together. Three years have passed and hundreds have enjoyed their music. Patriotic, Oldies, and Christmas are just some of the genres they sing. Kirt Keeler, a previous teacher at Coral Canyon Elementary, is a member of 4 Fathers.
Bring your lawn chairs and your blankets and enjoy the evening with us!
Remember to sign up for free/reduced lunch. Contact Mr. Richins, our Title I Site Coordinator, if you have questions.
*All students dismissed at 1:15 p.m.
If you have NOT heard from your child's teacher to schedule a time, get ahold of the teacher ASAP!
Kindergarten Class Lists will be posted on Friday, August 17 by 9:00 a.m.
Your child must take the state assessment in order to be placed in a class. If you have NOT scheduled an assessment appointment, please contact the front office as soon as possible.
I received some feedback and questions about the 2nd grade side of the building about drop-off and pick-up of students. In the past, this has been a very busy area. However, we are willing to try this. Since the posted sign in this area says "No Parking – Loading Zone", we are going to allow drop-off / pick-up along the 2nd grade side of the building.
1 – Students should NOT be on the grass area. Students should put their backpack by the appropriate door (2nd grade students) and go directly to the back playground until the first bell rings.
2 – Parents can pull up to the curb, drop off their child, (always give a hug and kiss goodbye first), and move on. Nobody should be parking and staying in this area. You should also never park your car and get out. This should be a quick drop-off / pick-up only.
3 – Parents should not park on the opposite side of the road and wave a child over. If you choose to park on the opposite side of the road, I would rather you get out of your vehicle and walk with your child across the street.
4 – You are welcome to park in this area after school, as long as you quickly move on as soon as your child is safely in your vehicle.
5 – Parents should not make a U-turn in front of the gate. You should go around the block after you drop-off or pick-up your child.
1st day of school for 1st through 5th grade students: Monday, August 13th from 9:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Office questions / PTA information / Title I signup, etc.
*Teachers will be introducing themselves to students and parents. There are 2 separate teacher presentations during this time, so you do not have to try to get to all teachers during this time.
Please note this is NOT a time for individual meetings with your child's teacher. If you have specific concerns, you will need to meet with the teacher at a separate time.
*This will be introductory information about our principal (Mrs. Eggleston), our counselor (Mr. Coulter), PTA, Title I, free/reduced lunches, STEM, our school resource officer, etc. This video is meant to give all of our parents and students a good overview of the school and present information about the first day of school.
*If you have two or more children at the school, this is your opportunity to go visit another teacher. Classroom teachers will be repeating what they did at the first session today.
Final questions / wrap up / PTA information, etc.
Back to School Open House on August 10th!

5. We Can Happily Suffer The New Pozi Single
The latest in a wave of politically charged post-punk revivalists, London's Pozi only formed last year, although they're wasting no time in making quite the impact. This week the guitar-less trio have shared their new single, Watching You Suffer, as well as detailing their upcoming debut album, PZ1.
Watching You Suffer was inspired by a friend of drummer, and like all three members of Pozi vocalist, Toby Burroughs, who spent six years between mental health institutions and halfway houses. The track may be well under two minutes, but manages to fit in a biting critique of systematic failures, and a more personal reflection on the guilt found in feeling like you could have done more. While Pozi will draw inevitable comparisons to the likes of Sleaford Mods and Idles, they're musically far removed from either, their violin and bass-led sound, having a strut more akin to Devo or the much-loved Clor. Pozi are keen to stress they're not political preachers, more quiet observers reflecting the world back at their listeners; Pozi paint a picture of the current state of our country, and ask you to make your own mind up whether you're okay with what you see.
PZ1 is out April 5th via Prah Recordings. Click HERE for more information on Pozi.
4. Dana Could Be Your New Number One By One
Based out of Toronto, it was on a trip to her ancestral homeland of Serbia that Dana Gavasnki penned her debut single. That track, One By One, is the first offering from Dana, and is being shared as a 7″ on the excellent Full Time Hobby label in April.
Despite having been a singer since she was a child, Dana was all set to follow her father into the film industry, until an ex-partner left Dana a guitar. Then, inspired by memories of playing Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust, Dana reconnected with music; based on One By One that was a very good idea. A meditation on, "being alone and the melancholy, vulnerability and rebuilding of self that comes with it", One By One is a beautifully understated piece of songwriting. There's a simplicity to the gently strummed guitars that greet the listener, only picking up the pace later as a rumble of bass adds some perfectly placed propulsion. At the fore throughout is Dana's vocal, with all the nonchalant, emotionless emotion of Cate Le Bon, the beautifully clipped delivery and ability to jump effortlessly from the most impossibly distant parts of the scale are frankly stunning. Even better news, Dana has recently been hauled up working on her debut album, on this evidence it might just be one of the most exciting debuts of the year.
One By One/Do You? is out April 26th via Full Time Hobby. Click HERE for more information on Dana Gavanski.
3. There's Witching In Those Eyes
Formed back in 2013 as the brain-child of drummer Emma Wigham and guitarist Mark Jasper, Witching Waves have been one of the most thrillingly brutal acts on the London DIY scene ever since. Now relocated to Yorkshire, and with quite possibly music's busiest person, Estelle Adeyeri adding some bassy brilliance, Witching Waves have recently announced the release of their third album Persistence, and shared the latest single from it Eye 2 Eye.
Persistence was recorded completely live in just two days at Sound Savers, the East London studio Mark co-ran, and which was such an important hub for so many of the records we cover on this site. As the title would suggest Persistence, is in some ways a record about the power of carrying on, a record about change, distance and making things works: perfectly captured here on Eye 2 Eye. The band have described the track as, "an ode to conflict", that energy matched in the typically frenetic playing, three minutes of breathless, guitar riffing, driving bass and quite possibly the most thrilling drum sound we've ever heard. Emma and Mark share vocals throughout, breathlessly spitting out lyrics, barely giving them time to register, only revealing themselves on repeat listens, "when did we decide to talk about it? how do we begin to talk about it?" The energy, the drive, the beautiful, brutal noise of it all, Witching Waves are everything we want in a band, and have never sounded better.
Persistence is out April 5th via Specialist Subject Records. Click HERE for more information on Witching Waves.
2. I Wanna Listen To The Knew Mammoth Penguins Single
Mammoth Penguins, the Cambridge based indie-pop band fronted by Emma Kupa, first came to the world's attention back in 2015 with their Fortuna Pop-released debut, Hide And Seek. After a foray into concept albums, plus adding and friends to their name, on 2017's John Doe, they're back to their power-pop trio roots with a new album, There's No Fight We Can't Both Win, out in April, and this week they shared their blistering new single, I Wanna.
The track is about how falling for someone can send you into a whirlwind of creativity and energy, as Emma explains, "suddenly there are so many possibilities and so much potential, and life becomes way more fun." The joyful tone of the lyricism, is matched in the musical progression, seemingly inspired by the richer-textures of John Doe, here they sound bolder and denser than before; the guitars crunch, the layers vocal shine the drums hit like the proverbial ton of bricks. As they sing in unison with a sense of abandon and freedom, "I love you, fuck it all", with tracks as cathartic and joyful as this, expect a lot of people to be screaming that back at them soon.
There's No Fight We Can't Both Win is out April 26th via Fika Recordings. Click HERE for more information on Mammoth Penguins.
1. Spend The Rest Of Your Life With Siobhan Wilson
Back in 2017 we raved regularly about the wonderful Siobhan Wilson and her debut album, There Are No Saints. The Elgin-born songwriter, inspired by her time in Paris as much as her Scottish roots, produced a potent blend of musical virtuosity and melodic charm. Some two years later, Siobhan has completed work on the follow up, The Departure, and has this week shared the first single from it, Marry You.
Roaring into life with a guitar-line surprisingly reminiscent of Everlong by Foo Fighters, it's quite obvious that the departure, isn't just the album title but a whole new approach. The beefed up electric guitar sound, courtesy of a new Baritone Gretsch if you're interested in such things, created a delightful counter-point to Siobhan's flittering, dancing vocals, every bit as wonderful as you remember them. Lyrically, the track is both a musing on the still gendered process of proposals, and a wider swipe at anyone waiting for someone to give them the okay, as Siobhan sings, "if indecision is your decision, I do not need your permission". Like the sirens of Greek mythology, on Marry You, Siobhan is taking us to darker, murkier musical waters,
The Departure is out May 10th via Suffering Fools Records. Click HERE for more information on Siobhan Wilson.

Since the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has rolled out top-level domains in past few years, every new business is endeavoring to master the domain game, found on the Web. A perfect domain name that matches your company's name and is easy to pronounce is quick to grab the attention and has better chances to outmaneuver your rivals. Investing a large sum of capital up front, or changing domains down the line is undeniably painstaking and expensive. To avoid bearing such costs and time-consuming processes, revolutionary leaders always do proper homework on their preferred domain name before they actually land into the world of the Internet. However, there are a plethora of factors that can bring businesses to a point where they are bound to change domain name. This change can be beneficial in some ways, however, it can have direct impact on your search engine ranking.
Before getting into these dos and don'ts, let me cite the three most common factors that drive businesses to adopt this change.
Availability of user-friendly domain: At times, businesses do not get the preferred Internet domain that they want for their company. Suddenly, they come across a domain that they wish to have, and that's the reason why they gear up for domain change.
Change in Business: Some people plan to start a new business, and want to have a URL that explicitly portrays who they are and what they do.
Multiple Domains under One Roof: Some of the businesses create multiple websites that deliver same offerings, and now they want to converge all these domains into one.
Fix all Backlogs: It is important to ensure that the new domain that you have preferred to migrate your website was not previously registered by anyone else. If it was, you need to make sure that it doesn't carry any penalties or issues. To do so, you can make use of Google Webmaster Tool and view the Manual Actions page. If the domain name is free from all such issues, you can confidently initiate the migration process. However, if it requires some manual action, you need to make the desired changes and submit a request for reconsideration. Once the made request receives a green signal, you can migrate your content to your new domain.
Migrate Your Content: It is good to start with a small portion and not to move all the content at once. Start with a sub domain as it will give you a fair idea about how this is going to impact your site on search engine ranking. Moreover, once you have moved the content to the new domain, do not forget to apply 301 redirect to the pages that you have migrated, so that Google knows where your website is. Moreover, to ensure that all the traffic is directed to the new domain, it is important to set up server-side 301 redirect in your .htaccess file. If you're overlooking this step, you might foil up in some troubles and Google may ban your site for keeping duplicate content. However, if you have changed the content and it is not copied from the existing website, create 404 pages for the content that is not same as the older website's pages.
Make Google Fully Aware About Your Move: You can simply do this by signing up to the Google Webmaster Tool to add and verify your new domain name. This will notify Google that you have moved the content to the new domain.
Once you have applied 301 redirect and notified Google about your migration, you are required to check that no inbound and internal links are broken or corrupted. You need to replace all your internal links to point them to your new domain. Also, keep a track of your website's analytics in order to prevent issues.
Following these steps will help you curtail decline in search traffic and drop in rankings.

Lily - Sorry to hear of this.
Please take care of the chlamydia as untreated can cause sterility. You reported this to us a month ago. Many encouraged you to take care of this first. I would fear this infection more than an anti-biotic.
You have many infections with parasites, morgs, canadida that you have reported here. A meat/veggie/oil diet is too detoxifying for you right now. Too much die-off. I have been eating this way for the past year and am healing but I don't have the body load of infections that you have. It is not the diet that is bad it is just very effective and too powerful. This diet combined with Nystatin and probiotics and digestive enzymes is too much for you.
You need to build yourself back up nutritionally. Maybe lots of soup and easy to digest foods. Due to your situation you will need to go very slowly with whatever you do.
You are in my prayers. Hope you are feeling better real soon.

Mumbai's St Xavier's College will get its first non-Christian principal in the institution's 150-year history after Rajendra Shinde assumes charge on September 1.
Mumbai's St Xavier's College will get its first non-Christian principal in the institution's 150-year history after Rajendra Shinde assumes charge on September 1. The principal-designate, who at present heads the Botany department of the college in south Mumbai, will replace Dr Baptist Agnel Menezes.
Asked about his priorities, Shinde said he would focus on expanding courses offered at the college, which is vying for a university tag.
"We must start preparing for that. We will have to expand our post graduation and research programme, improve ranking among other," he added. Shinde, a resident of Nerul in Navi Mumbai, has been attached to the college for the last three-and-half decades.

uto insurance coverage quotes also differ depending upon the chauffeur's age and also their years of experience. Young and unskilled drivers have a tendency to be much more dangerous behind the wheel, which is why insurance provider bill them higher car insurance prices.
For example, teenage vehicle drivers pay virtually 4 times more than those in their 20's– with 16-year-old motorists paying an average of $344.78 a month for car insurance protection. Comparison that to a 25-year-old motorist paying only $118.89 a month on average for their auto insurance policy.


What if I told you that you could discover your passion in 7 minutes or less?
You'd probably think I was crazy.
And maybe I am, but you have to ask yourself: Do you want to wait in order to live a passionate life, or do you want to start now?
For years, I was trapped in the belief that I had to do or be something in order to enjoy life.
Luckily, it doesn't have to be that way, because you can do it now.
You'll discover the how in the video below.
And if you don't know, I started a YouTube channel a while ago, and I started posting regular YouTube videos.
Not all of these videos will be posted here on the blog, because I will be sharing a lot of different things that don't always fit here, so make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel to get updates.
Have you tried what I mentioned in the video?
If so, how did it go, or if you ran into obstacles, what were they?
I actually enjoy your blog very much. I like the themes of following your heart and overcoming anxiety through action.
Thanks for all your wisdom and for sharing your ideas.
Great questions, Lois. I'm going to do my best to answer these in my next video. Make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube channel because I won't be posting it here right away.
I love how you explained this. Just beautifully put!
When we stop "thinking" so much and let the heart lead us we end up connecting with joy. The Joy/Excitement is the way our intuition communicates with us. That "feeling" is saying, "Do this – go here – call this person…." Following that feeling will lead us to connect to our "passion" and to create a deeply satisfying happy and joy filled life.
Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring and informative video.
Thanks for the kind words. And you're right on. We are held back by our thinking and the ideas we choose to believe in.
We start thinking about what others will think of us, or what if we fail, or something else. It's a struggle between mind and heart.
I enjoy your audio and video tips so much! Thank you for being so soft spoken, present, genuine and informative. I use excitement aka "my inner GPS" for guidance. Anytime I have found myself off track or lacking spirit, or that *OOMPH*, I was pursuing something or involved with something that I did not feel excited about. Those moments are good guides, however… they help you to decipher what you do NOT want. (As long as you take notice and are aware of this) Thanks again Henri, for all your great insight!
Even the discovering what you DON'T want is a part of the pie. Failure is a stepping stone to success. Mistakes are good, not bad.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lynda. I really appreciate it.
Great advise. I like that passion is listening to ur heart and enjoy the current moment. Try what you enjoy for one week, so experiment is the key.
This is a very insightful video that really elaborates on how to find one's passion in life. I love Wake Up Cloud! This is a really neat blog. Also, I put a link to this blog post and your blog in general in my most recent blog post.
Thanks Kevin, for the kind words and the link. You rock!
Thanks for the book you wrote for us!, I am in the process to apply it.

Some yachts develop character, while others have it built in. Toby hodges went in search of heart and soul. We were on board Contest's first new 67CS, a sensational new 67ft semi-custom model, and the first Contest designed by Judel/Vrolijk in the yard's near 60-year history. We were sailing rapidly away from Palma, Mallorca with full main and asymmetric spinnaker shading the deck from the early sunshine. The wind continued to increase, into the mid-20s, bringing short, sharp waves with it as we headed offshore past the lighthouse. There was little we could now do, other than try and keep her sailing and looking good. It was time to speak to Jesús.
Contest wanted brochure photos from a helicopter and we wanted to test sail the boat so we had spent the previous evening planning it all to a tee. The problem is that the boat needs to look just so for the pictures, even if a little artificially at times. The upside was that once the photos were done, we would have a long day on the boat sailing, anchoring and living aboard in a variety of conditions, plus some resultant fantastic pictures. But of course, the wind pays no heed to plans and schedules.
Once the call was made to Mallorcan photographer Jesús Renedo confirming that we were in the pre-arranged place and sailing at full speed, the chopper would take off and be overhead in minutes. We needed to be on a good angle with the kite set. Knowing it all had to work like clockwork before the allotted helicopter slot elapsed heightened the nerves on board. The wind was forecast to start relatively light and pick up during the day – hence it did the opposite. By 10.00 Force 6 to 7 gusts were barrelling down the cliff edges nearby.
Thundering along under the big red asymmetric at 10-12 knots, preparing for the noisy imminent arrival overhead, I took the helm and tried to point her up to get some more sun on the deck for the pictures. In a 25-knot gust, we eased the main too little, and a dramatic flapping of sails accompanied our rapid heel change – evincing some rather concerned looks from the model in the cockpit. Keeping this over-canvassed yacht's bow firmly down would be the key to a successful shoot in these conditions.
We dropped the kite and headed up on to a close reach, until the helicopter departed and boat test duties commenced. Gusts of up to 30 knots rolled over the decks as we headed upwind, so to ease the load on the helm, we bent a reef into the vertically battened in-mast mainsail and furled some genoa.
With full canvas up in over 20 knots, it's testosterone time – it's a workout on the wheel – and you need a crewmember attentively manning the mainsheet to maintain cooperation between helm and vessel. Most cruising sailors will welcome the communication from the Contest's rudder: it lets you know when she's pushed. I have become accustomed to twin rudder set-ups on yachts of this size now, yachts where the power is not communicated as directly as the single blade set up. A glance at the size of the winches (size 88 for the primaries) and deck gear is a telling reminder of the loads she generates and the need to respect these loads. It should also be noted that the test boat had the full extra performance options of a Hall Spars carbon rig and SCR rigging, plus 3Di sails.
As the wind began to ease later in the day, we were able to set full sail again in 15 knots gusting to 24 knots over flat water. During that afternoon and evening sail, the boat felt alive. With the correct sail set-up you can really drive her hard and point her up through the gusts like a performance yacht (upwind at eight to eight-and-a-half knots). It became clear that the 67CS has the legs and consistent speed to get places quickly.
I have seen the 67CS sailing in five knots of wind off Cannes, so I know that she's a slippery design. Indeed, as we headed back to Palma at the end of the test day, the evening breeze had dropped to ten to 15 knots and the Contest really excelled. With the Code 0 set, we reached along at nine and a half to ten knots, up to 10.5 knots in the gusts, the speeds as consistent as they were impressive.
The question is whether Contest has given her too much performance for an ocean cruising yacht? I don't think so. She has almost exactly the same sail area-todisplacement and displacement-to-length ratios as the new Oyster 675. Granted, these may be slightly more performance oriented figures than past bluewater models from these yards, but I'd rather a boat be able to sail in light airs. Of course, the test boat had upgraded rig and sails, which certainly helped get the most out of the breeze, but the key is to make the boat easy to tame and manage. And that's where the push-button furling systems and deck layout comes into play.
The cockpit and deck layout of the Contest, particularly around the helm consoles, is excellent. For a centre cockpit yacht, it's a very practical set-up with good visibility forward from the helms. The ability to stand outside the coamings when helming, or sit straddling them, and see along the windward or leeward decks to the telltales and beyond, will rate highly with active sailors. And she's a yacht you'll want to stand and helm for long periods – there are no helm seats. Angled foot wells provide the ideal support while standing.
The central mainsheet and outboard primary winches are mounted well within reach of the helm. "This is the base from which anything can work – from there you can orient it more towards short-handed or performance," says Conijn.
For a yacht with such clean lines, I would like to have seen stowage designed in for the sheet tails. Also, the test boat had vertically mounted winches on the base of the mast. With little space between the winch and jammer however, it was a slow process to hoist the gennaker. For jobs that may involve going aloft, I would opt for powered winches on the deck, each side of the mast.
Barring the fancy sails and rigging, Conijn maintains that the deck layout itself is reasonably standard and that it's the interior that is highly customised. And what an interior this yacht has.
A chief benefit of moving to the custom end of the yacht building scale is the ability to create something unique and personal. It's one thing to add that bespoke touch to a production yacht, it's another to create character and soul. The test boat possesses more character and soul than most other new yachts; the impact on stepping below for the first time was nothing short of arresting.
"The interior is where the owner put his real soul into the boat," says Conijn. He reportedly wanted to create a jazz club style Cuban atmosphere, a theme well captured by interior designers Wetzels Brown. The eye is drawn to the red leather panels, the showpiece humidor set into the saloon's coffee table and the spit-andsawdust style smoked oak floor.
Then you notice the detailing, from the traditional bronze fittings used on all the furniture to the lyrics of the owners' favourite jazz song stitched into their bedclothes. This yacht's interior conjures the old-world atmosphere of cigar smoke and jazz with a clean, contemporary twist.
Spend some time below on the 67CS at sea, and there's another very appealing quality. She is a truly calming yacht. It's quiet and peaceful, whether under sail, motor or at anchor. This is down to the aesthetic character of the test boat as well as to the engineering, which is up to superyacht standards.
When we visited Contest's Medemblik yard last June, we were impressed with how much construction takes place on site. This offers Contest the versatility to cater to most clients' wishes while ensuring a high standard of structure and engineering in the yachts. For the 67CS, the company has stepped things up yet another notch.
Contest houses all of the 67CS's machinery in an insulated central box beneath the saloon floor. The weight of the generator, aircon, hydraulics, batteries etc is centralised, with the tanks located either side. The engine room is located directly aft, also beneath the saloon. Access to the water separators and fuel filters for the engine and the genset are located beneath the first step down to the galley.
The result is refreshingly peaceful. Even when motoring along at 8.5 knots, at a time when you would expect noise and vibration in the aft cabin, there was only the faint rushing noise of cooling water.
The electrical components are housed in a central walk-in technical room beneath the cockpit sole. "What we learnt is that this kind of equipment doesn't like heat – so we always have a separate electrical room," Conijn explains. I saw the incredibly complex amount of wiring that leads into here while the yacht was in build. To have it all intelligently laid out and neatly contained – the switchboards, distribution panels, chargers, inverters etc all in one area – brings peace of mind.
Layout options A variety of different layout options are available, including the option to have a fore or aft owner's cabin. The test boat was built with an aft master cabin, and it's easy to see the appeal of this configuration. There is 7ft headroom surrounding the island berth and an escape hatch above, abundant hanging stowage in the lockers furnishing the passageway forward, and with the yacht heeling, I was able to gaze at the horizon through the hull window from one of the two forward-facing sofas. And again, I noted the calm nature of the boat.
On the test boat, the two en-suite guest cabins forward of the saloon are near identical, containing compact double berths with leecloths and tall wardrobes. The entrances are tight (particularly to port) and there are no hull windows, but the cabins are certainly comfortable and the hatches above let in natural light.
The Pullman crew cabin in the forepeak can be accessed through the interior via the shower of the port-side guest cabin, but has its own private deck hatch too. Most of the layout options include this forepeak crew cabin, apart from the three-guest-cabin version, which has a passageway style galley and a Pullman for the crew located near the companionway – a position occupied by the day heads on the test boat.
The U-shape galley has practical stowage space, particularly in the surrounding raised lockers. However it is the one area of the boat where storage allocation was not overly generous (ocean sailors may wish to address that at build stage), although there are useful lockers in the sole and below the sofas too for extra provisions.
The navstation is the ideal size and location, with a comfortable angled seat that has an armrest to help you wedge yourself in on either tack. A plotter and instruments are mounted on a raised panel, within touchscreen reach of the seated position.
