THE SUBWAYS 'YOUNG FOR ETERNITY' & 'ALL OR NOTHING' 15TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASES
John Sparks September 26, 2019 Album News
NewsAlbum News
Back in 2005 The Welwyn Garden City trio quickly established themselves as one of Britain's most undeniably exhilarating new bands.
On 28th Feb 2020, they will reissue their 'Young For Eternity' debut, alongside their second record 'All Or Nothing'. This is the first time either album has been released on 12″ LP. They will be on limited edition, numbered, red and limited edition, numbered, orange, 180 gram vinyl respectively and each will include a unique signed poster.
The Subways rise was nothing short of amazing, with huge UK tours and festival appearances including main-stage Glastonbury (hand-picked by Michael Eavis), Reading & Leeds, and invites from Oasis, Foo Fighters and ACDC to support then at stadium shows. Loved by the UK music press with NME, Q, Kerrang, Rocksound and The Guardian amongst the many names who tipped them as ones to watch, with Zane Lowe, Lauren Laverne and John Peel hugely supportive of the band.
Produced by Ian Broudie (The Lightning Seeds), 'Young For Eternity' saw The Subways delivering material of the quality you'd expect from seasoned songwriters twice their age, while performing it with the kind of reckless abandon that crackled with the intensity, soul and sexuality that only the exuberance of youth could truly provide.
Veering from rambunctious punk thrash to tender acoustic pop through grungy blues-infected dynamos like the addictive top 20 singles, 'Oh Yeah' and 'Rock & Roll Queen', the latter of which was used in the Kate Moss starring Rimmel adverts, The OC, Guy Richie's RocknRolla and Die Hard 4, The Subways' full-bore sonic momentum is fired by raw power riffing and Billy Lunn's primal rock yelp. Tracks such as 'Mary' and 'No Goodbyes' also displayed a melodic maturity far beyond the band's tender years. 2nd album 'All Or Nothing' saw the band team up with the legendary Butch Vig to record in Los Angeles. It achieved Top 20 in both the UK and Germany.
In March 2020, The Subways will hit the road with a run of headline dates. Frontman Billy Lunn explains further: "Nearly fifteen years ago, when Young for Eternity was released, Josh and Charlotte were 18 and 19 years old, and I was 20. Touring our debut album was for us an adventurous explosion of excitement, just as every tour since then has been. In 2020, we get relive that initial excitement when we embark on the Young for Eternity tour to play the album in full. None of us can truly express just how thrilled we are that we get the chance to do this."

Measures for promotion of national integration and solidarity
admin 10 April 2021
National integration and solidarity
In order to understand the meaning of national integration, we must, first of all, have a clear comprehension of the terms like 'Nation' and Nationality. The concept of 'Nationality' first defined in distinct terms by the Muslim historiographer and sociologist. Ibn -e-Khaldun; he gave it the name of 'Ame girl said that the sentiment of nationhood (Asabiya) forms the basis of civil life, anti the rise and fall of human groups greatly depend on this sentiment.
Among the modern western political scientists Laski is the person who has defined 'Nationality' in clear terms, according to him, the feeling of nationhood 'marks off those who share in it from the rest of mankind'. This implies that if a particular group of people develops a feeling that they are one among themselves, and the factors that make them one mark them off and separate them from the rest of humanity, the group of people turns into nationality and taking a step forward, this rationality transforms itself into a nation. (Nation is a nationality having political aspirations.)

PPSC Biology Past Papers
national integration, we simply mean that the people of Pakistan should forget their linguistic, They should know that they are Muslims and Pakistani first and all their other identities are subservient to their Islamic identity. Pakistan is like a big picture, different language, tribes, clans, customs and traditions are like the different colour of this picture. Every colour is important in its own place, erasing it will mean spoiling the picture itself. But these colours taken apart from the picture have no existence or meaning, these are beautiful and meaningful only up till the time they are placed at their appropriate place in the picture. Removing colour from the picture will spoil goth the picture and the colour. Each colour should remain steadfast in its position as a colour and should not try to take the place of the picture.
National Disintegration
This is a normal course, passing through which, unidentifiable groups of people gradually develop into well-defined and identifiable national groups. Members of any group of people are, generally, different form each other in many respects, and at the same time they have certain, things in common. But for one reason or another, they are inclined to formed Reasons that separate the numbers of a civil society from one another, or in other forget their differences and strengthen their bonds of unity when this happens, a nation is words, the points of difference they have, are called 'centrifugal forces'.
EDUCATION AND OPINION FARMING MEASURES
In the following lines we shall discuss each of these separately:
Spreading Religious Education: This was the religions sentiment of the people South East Asia that served as a be driving force behind the creation of Pakistan. Pakistan was achieved only because the Muslims of this region wanted to model their lives according to the tenets of Islam. Keeping the religious consideration supreme, they forgot all the differences of language, race, culture and geography that divided them. Problems of national integration that we face, are only due to the reason that we have forgotten the lesson of fraternity and brotherhood our religion has taught us.
". . . . And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches our for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so by His Grace, ye became brethren To remine the people of Pakistan this forgotten lesson of unity and brotherhood true spirit of Islamic fraternity needs to be revived. This can be done by infusing ii them the true understanding of Islam through enlightened Islamic education.
Revival of the National Spirit Based on Two Nation Theory:
Two Nation Theory was a practical programmer for enabling the Muslims of South East Asia to model their lives on Islamic ideals, in private and public affairs. Pakistan, in other words was created with the sole objective of safeguarding the spiritual identity as well a! The physical existence of the Muslims in this area. We must make our countrymen, realize that our existence is directly related with the existence of Pakistan, if Pakistan lives, we live, we have no existence independent of our national existence.
Promotion of Islamic Culture and Tradition
Individual and collective lives of people of Pakistan bear a deep imprint of Islam to whatever region, a racial linguistic group they may belong to. Local customs and traditions, side by side, with the racial, parochial, and cast differences are also common. These are remnants of the uncivilized local traditions. These things divide people, create bitterness in their feelings, and sow the seeds of discord among them. This situation can be remedied by promoting Islamic cultural values.
Application of Media for Nation Building
Media print as well as electronic can play an important role in the promotion of a national outlook and in dispelling the negative sentiments of parochialism and regionalism. Radio and television programmers need to be useful and purpose directed. They should serve the cause of educating the people about Pakistan Ideology, they should inform the people about the objectives be useful and purpose erected. They should serve the people about the educating the people about Pakistan ideology, they should inform the people about the objectives of our freedom struggle, they should infuse in them love for Pakistan and tell them what spiritual, economic and moral benefits our freedom has brought to us.
Promotion of Urdu:
People in different areas of Pakistan speak different languages. All these languages are written in the same script. All Pakistani languages contain valuable treasure of prose, poetry and religious literature. But our regional region; this is our common national heritage. During the days of our between different areas of the country. Urdu is not the language of a particular region; this is our common national heritage. During the days of our freedom struggle Urdu emerged as a strong symbol of our national identity. Muslims from all parts of India, rendered sacrifices for the defense of Urdu, although for most of them Urdu was a second language; it was not their mother tongue F e r the promotion of national cohesion and identity Urdu should be adopted as the dim of instruction at all levels as well as the language of the official business.
Pakistan is like a big picture, different language, tribes, clans, customs and traditions are like the different colour of this picture. Every colour is important in its own place, erasing it will mean spoiling the picture itself. But these colours taken apart from the picture have no existence or meaning, these are beautiful and meaningful only up till the time they are placed at their appropriate place in the picture. Removing colour from the picture will spoil goth the picture and the colour. Each colour should remain steadfast in its position as colour and should not try to take the place of the picture

The parliamentary groups of the Parliament of Catalonia are groups of deputies in the Parliament of Catalonia organized by political party or by coalition of parties. Their function is both political and administrative. The deputies in a group are expected to cooperate in promoting the policies of the group, while the group is allocated offices and technical support by the Board of Parliament, and may hire additional support for its members at its own expense (or that of its parent party).

At least five deputies are required to form a parliamentary group, who must all come from the same party or electoral coalition and must not all have been elected in the same constituency. Only one parliamentary group may be formed per party or coalition. Deputies who cannot join a normal parliamentary group—for example, because they have left their party, or because their party does not have at least five deputies in at least two constituencies—are organized into the "mixed group" (Catalan: Grup Mixt) for administrative purposes.

Each parliamentary group designates a spokesperson to represent the group in general matters. The Committee of Spokespersons regroups these representatives along with the president of Parliament and one of the Secretaries of the Board of Parliament to decide certain questions of a more or less technical nature, such as the designation of the appropriate committee to
consider a proposed piece of legislation.

As of 2006, the Parliament with the 135 deputies elected in the 2006 election had six parliamentary groups: Convergence and Union grouping both CDC and UDC (48 seats), Socialists' Party of Catalonia-CpC (37 seats), Republican Left of Catalonia (21 seats), People's Party (14 seats), Initiative for Catalonia Greens-United and Alternative Left (12 seats) and the mixed group having only members of Citizens–Party of the Citizenry (3 seats).

University's Cheung is boys tennis player of the year
The OC All-County Tennis Team Player of the Year Ryan Cheung poses at the OC Register's photo studio Friday.
The O.C. All-County Tennis Team Player of the Year Ryan Cheung poses at the OC Register's photo studio Friday.
By OCVarsity |
June 7, 2010 at 1:03 p.m.
Ryan Cheung didn't need his senior season.
University's top tennis player already committed to UC Irvine and risked losing his scholarship should his grades slip at one of the county's toughest academic schools after being home-schooled his junior year.
"I wanted to come back not only for tennis but to graduate with my friends," Cheung said. "When you are home-schooled, you graduate with kids you don't know. Here, it's a great atmosphere."
It could be said University's tennis program needed Ryan Cheung, the Register's 2010 boys tennis player of the year.
The Trojans graduated four all-county players, including co-player of the year Matt Siow. Though young and talented with a crop of freshmen – including Gage Brymer, Stefan Menichella and Tyler Lu – the team was lacking senior leadership.
Cheung provided it immediately and it paid huge dividends for the Trojans. Ranked No. 2 in the nation in the USTA's Boys 18-and-under doubles rankings, his talent and knowledge provided a foundation for the younger players.
"He played doubles with 14 guys," University coach John Kessler said. "That's so valuable. In the preseason, Ryan was feeding balls to the junior varsity guys. That's priceless.
"If Ryan wasn't there we would not have had the same success. The experience and the leadership would have been missing."
Cheung helped University to a second-place finish in the All-American Tournament in March, playing No. 1 singles and doubles for the Trojans. In April, Cheung reached the finals of The Ojai with partner Kona Luu as University captured the Griggs Cup for the first time since 2002.
Teamed with Reo Asami, Cheung captured the Pacific Coast League doubles title and advanced to the CIF-SS individual tournament semifinals.
His losses at Ojai and CIF were the only two of the season.
He closed his career by sweeping at No. 1 singles in University's 17-1 victory over Santa Barbara in the CIF-SS Division 1 championship.
"I'm honored," Cheung said of the player of the year award. "To think of the past players who have done it. Stevie (Johnson), Fabian (Matthews) and Matt. They are great county players. It's great to be up there with them."
Cheung was born in San Francisco and moved to Hong Kong at 8. He came back to the States but returned to Hong Kong at 11.
He began developing his game at the HK Sports Institute tennis program, a fully funded government scholarships program for talented juniors in all sports. He was the youngest member accepted for boys tennis.
He left Hong Kong for Irvine, where he ended up at University after being home-schooled his freshman year.
By that time, his serve grew into a major weapon, becoming one of the county's best of the last 10 years.
Here's a sampling about the lefty's serve, which clocks 120 mph.
• "The ball is always going away from you," Corona del Mar's Ryan Peyton said. "You have to stay on it or it will go right past you."
• "It's the nastiest I've seen," Troy coach Ryan Young said. "The ball pretty much goes sideways on the deuce side."
• "It's tough to see where it's going," Brymer said. "Add the power to it and it's crazy. No one wants to hit returns against him in practice."
• "His serve is awesome, no question about it," Corona del Mar coach Brian Ricker said. "The only other guy was when (Harvard-Westlake's) Ryan Thacher, who is now at Stanford. He was also a lefty. But he was 6-foot-4. Ryan is like 5-foot-9. And he doesn't change his toss at all."
His game and versatility on the court were major contributions to the tennis team, and so was what Kessler called his "stability."
His presence took the pressure off the rest of the team and allowed the other players to play more relaxed.
"He's the best on our team," Brymer said. "He keeps it positive and keeps us pumped up. I'm really happy he came back."
Cheung, who was part of the team's 2008 CIF championship, knew what to expect returning for his senior year in terms of leadership. He knew his teammates would look to him as a captain to set the tone.
"People look up to him and respect him," Luu said. "Everyone listens to him. He's a good friend. Without him it would not be as fun."

"Escher is a declarative, general-purpose programming language which integrates the best features of both functional and logic programming languages. It has types and modules, higher-order and meta-programming facilities, and declarative input/output."
"Escher also has a collection of system modules, providing numerous operations on standard data types such as integers, lists, characters, strings, sets, and programs. The main design aim is to combine in a practical and comprehensive way the best ideas of existing functional and logic languages, such as Gödel, Haskell, and Lambda Prolog. Indeed, Escher goes well beyond Gödel in its ability to allow function definitions, its higher-order facilities, its improved handling of sets, and its declarative input/output. Escher also goes well beyond Haskell in its ability to run partly-instantiated predicate calls, a familiar feature of logic programming languages which provides a form of non-determinism, and its more flexible handling of equality. The language also has a clean semantics, its underlying logic being (an extension of) Alonzo Church's simple theory of types."

The discovery and imparting of knowledge are the essential undertakings of any university. Such purposes determined John Carroll, SJ's modest and surprisingly ecumenical proposal to establish an academy on the banks of the Potomac for the education of the young in the early republic. What began earnestly in 1789 still continues today: the idea of Georgetown University as a Catholic university situated squarely in the American experience.
Beautifully designed with over 300 illustrations and photographs, A History of Georgetown University tells the remarkable story of the administrators, boards, faculty, students, and programs that have made Georgetown a leading institution of higher education. With a keen eye for detail, historian Robert Emmett Curran—a member of the Georgetown community for over three decades—explores the broader perspective of Georgetown's sense of identity and its place in American culture.
Volume One traces Georgetown's evolution during its first century, from its beginnings as an academy within the American Catholic community of the Revolutionary War era through its flowering as a college before the Civil War to its postbellum achievements as a university. Volume Two highlights the efforts of administrators and faculty over the next seventy-five years to make Georgetown an ascending and increasingly diverse institution with a range of graduate programs and professional schools. Volume Three examines Georgetown's remarkable rise to prominence as an internationally recognized research university—both culturally engaged and cosmopolitan while remaining grounded in its Catholic and Jesuit character.
Each volume features numerous illustrations, photographs, and appendices that include student demographics, enrollments, and lists of board members.

Rodgers: Brown 'Cancer' to Angels : Baseball: Former manager says meeting with president might have prompted firing.
By BOB NIGHTENGALE
Buck Rodgers, his eyes watering, his voice choked with emotion, still had trouble believing Wednesday that he was standing behind a lecturn without a job.
It had been 24 hours since his firing as manager of the Angels, and still, he could not explain it.
So he came to one conclusion:
He was fired by Angel President Richard Brown, whom he accused of being a "cancer" in the organization. He's convinced Bill Bavasi, Angel general manager, was only following orders.
"I don't really think that Bill Bavasi had too much to do with my firing," Rodgers said. "I appreciate him being the front-man, that's commendable, but in my mind I don't think he had anything to do with it."
Instead, he says his confrontation with Brown during the Angels' last home stand might have triggered his dismissal. Rodgers was summoned for a private meeting to discuss comments that Brown heard Rodgers had made about him.
"He said that I said that he didn't know anything about baseball," Rodgers said.
"Even if I believed that," Rodgers said smiling, "I wouldn't say that."
Brown and Bavasi vehemently denied the meeting had anything to do with Rodgers' firing, and sources close to Bavasi confirmed the firing was Bavasi's idea. Brown and chairman Jackie Autry approved the firing, and Gene Autry told Rodgers in a phone call Wednesday that he wasn't aware of the firing until Wednesday.
"You've got a guy who's been through a tough, traumatic experience," Bavasi said, "and (Rodger's) entitled to make any comments that he deems appropriate.
"But what I told you (Tuesday) is the absolute truth. I know what happened. Rich knows what happened. The Autrys know what happened.
"I stand by what I said, and it was totally my decision."
It's just difficult for Rodgers to believe Bavasi, who was hired Jan. 12, would fire him this quickly. Yet, sources insist Bavasi was troubled by Rodgers' stubbornness, and was convinced they could not co-exist. Bavasi wanted to hire his own manager, and his only choice was Marcel Lachemann.
If Lachemann had rejected the job, Bavasi said Wednesday, Rodgers would still be manager.
Yet, it might take days, if not weeks or months, to convince Rodgers that Brown was not behind the firing. Take a look at the track record since Brown has been president, Rodgers said, and you'll find his fingerprints on the departures of general managers Mike Port, Dan O'Brien and Whitey Herzog, and manager Doug Rader.
Brown has been team president since Nov. 1 1990. Before that he had been the Angel legal counsel since 1981 and he has no baseball background.
"There's still some kind of cancer here with the California Angels," Rodgers said, directing his comments directly toward Brown. "I think that's very obvious for someone who's been here for 15 minutes.
"This organization is not all bad. This organization is very salvageable. But there's a paranoia here. There's a fear of failure that has to go."
Rodgers, 55, an original member of the Angels' expansion team, says Brown is threatened by those who played the game, and it has become quite apparent in the last nine months with O'Brien, Herzog and Rodgers all leaving.
"If you're a paranoid person," Rodgers said, "you're threatened by everything and anything about you. There's something against people who played the game. 'You're not as smart as the next person or you can't do the job as well.'
"I wasn't after anybody's job. I have trouble enough with my own job, which I don't have anymore."
Although this was a news conference called by Rodgers at the Jolly Roger Inn in Anaheim, the Angels sent a club official to monitor Rodgers' remarks. When informed of Rodgers' comments, Brown refused to address them.
Rodgers, who will be paid $600,000 this year and $600,000 in 1995--and is expected to earn $3 million to $5 million in his settlement involving the Angels' 1992 bus accident--said he likely will sit out this season before considering another managerial job.

Yotun: Peru have got what it takes
Peru aiming to reach World Cup for first time since Spain 1982
Los Incas fourth in South American qualifying with two games left
Yoshimar Yotun talks Argentina qualifier and more
"I don't just dream about the World Cup when I'm asleep. I do it in every waking hour too!" Peru's Yoshimar Yotun told FIFA.com with a laugh.
A happy-go-lucky character, the versatile 27-year-old is wearing an even broader smile than usual these days, and not without good reason, with Peru having just moved into the direct qualification places for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ for the very first time. In beating Ecuador on their last outing, the Peruvians made it ten points out of the last 12 to climb into fourth.
"What's so pleasing for us is not so much seeing ourselves there but getting into this position in the first place," said the talented full-back/midfielder. "We've built things up slowly and our fate is in our own hands now, which is very satisfying."
Yotun understands why the fans had lost faith in the team: "I put myself in their shoes and I can see where they're coming from. We haven't been to the World Cup for a long time." Such have been Peru's recent qualifying woes, in fact, that he was only seven years old the last time they went into the final two matchdays of the preliminaries among the top four.
"We started off the qualifiers badly too," he added. "It's only natural that people should think: 'It's the same old story. We're not going to make it this time either'. But even though they're critical, they still go to the stadium and give us their support, which I'm grateful for."
The fourth-most capped player in the current squad, with 68 appearances to his name, Yotun pinpointed the reason for the turnaround in Peru's fortunes: "It's down to Gareca (Ricardo, Peru's Argentinian coach). He's more of a friend than a coach. He's worked in Peru before and he knows the quality of our players. It didn't take him long to get us believing again, both as individuals and a group. He's given us renewed confidence."
A date with destiny A former Argentina international, it was Gareca who scored the last goal in the 2-2 draw that ended Peru's hopes of qualifying for Mexico 1986. "We all know about that but we never mention it. Stuff like that is just for the media," said a smiling Yotun.
Peru's next assignment just happens to come in Argentina on 5 October, the penultimate matchday of the qualifying competition. La Albiceleste lie fifth, with the same number of points and the same goal difference as Peru, but having scored fewer goals.
"It's going to be very tough because they need to win and they'll be giving it everything they've got," said Yotun. "If we don't keep calm, then we'll have problems. We've just won in Paraguay and Ecuador, though, and drawn in Venezuela. We've got what it takes."
The all-important meeting will take place at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires, Boca Juniors' legendary home ground, where Peru knocked Argentina out in the qualifiers for Mexico 1970, the last time La Albiceleste missed out on the world finals.
"It's an important part of our history, but we need to focus on what's happening now," explained the Peruvian utility player. "We can't start thinking about how nice it would be to qualify at home against Colombia. We have to concentrate on getting a good result in Argentina."
The stat 4 - the number of assists that Yotun has provided in his 11 appearances in this qualifying competition, more than anyone else in the Peru team.
Yotun on life in his neighbourhood
What does 'ser chalaco' mean? "I grew up in the Barrio Centenario, a neighbourhood in the city of Callao, where life is not easy and you need to be streetwise in everything you do, including football. 'Ser chalaco' means being crafty, like putting your foot on the ball and then slipping between a couple of players without them kicking you."
What's a 'pichanga'? "They're the football matches we used to play in the neighbourhood with friends and family, on a rough piece of ground and with a couple of stones for goalposts. I'd leave school early and skip meals just to go and have a kickabout. I still play pichangas when I'm on holiday."

After playing for Sporting Cristal, Brazilian club Vasco da Gama and Malmo of Sweden, Yotun joined MLS side Orlando City in August, where he has teamed up with Brazilian legend Kaka: "He's won the lot as a player and he's down to earth as a person.

More than twice as many trees will be left standing under a revised plan by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a timber sale and forest thinning in the Methow Valley.
DNR spent six months revising plans for the sale after hearing concerns from more than 100 people last year.
Most of the thinning and logging will be in the Wolf Creek and Virginia Ridge areas below Sun Mountain Lodge. There is a small area to be logged near Mazama.
The revised plans call for leaving 40 trees per acre, up from 21 in the original plan and 26 in the first revision. The areas to be treated currently have about 150 trees per acre.
Many people told DNR they were worried that the agency's initial plans would resemble a clear-cut and that it would have negative economic effects on the valley's tourism industry.
Some commenters said they were concerned that the original proposal for thinning would actually increase fire risk because removing so many trees would dry out the understory.
DNR has modified the design of the sale so that trees left standing will be unevenly distributed, with clumps and openings to preserve a natural appearance. The initial design had called for trees to be evenly spaced. The final sale will result in 19 percent fewer board feet of wood.
The sale will create 800 feet of new roads, plus up to 600 feet of new spur roads to reach landings. The spur roads will be re-seeded after the logging is completed. DNR has agreed to leave more trees along the boundaries of the sale to mask landings and new roads.
Other modifications are intended to reduce the risk of wildfire after the logging. DNR plans to mechanically pile and burn logging slash at 14 landings, and will conduct surveys after the harvest to determine whether further thinning is necessary to remove additional small-diameter trees. Slash from this thinning will be hand-piled and potentially burned.
DNR foresters have issued a mitigated determination of nonsignificance, meaning the proposal would not have adverse impacts on the environment. The mitigations for the project are decisions by DNR not to harvest trees in riparian and wetland areas, according to DNR's proprietary forester for the Northeast Region.
The timber sale was initially slated for the summer of 2018. When Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz came to the Methow in May 2018 for a public meeting about the logging sale and a new forest-health initiative DNR was launching in eastern Washington, she said she was "scared to death that this 700 acres could go up in flames." DNR has taken that initiative into account in its review of the Virginia Ridge timber sale.
DNR will hire a logger to cut and deliver the timber and the wood will be auctioned to a lumber mill. The auction is set for April 23, with removal of all merchantable timber to be completed by Nov. 15.
People can comment on the modified revised project through Friday (Feb. 8). Details are available on DNR's website at www.dnr.wa.gov/state-environmental-policy-act-sepa under Timber Sales, then under Northeast, then under Virginia Ridge Sorts (originally Virginia Ridge FIT) Timber Sale #96324. There are new documents for January 2019.

Khabib Nurmagamedov and his crew are some of the tightest teammates in MMA today. Fighters, their training partners and their coaches are basically like a family. For Khabib, growing up and living in the harsh surroundings of Dagestan, his code of honour goes beyond fame and riches.
It's just as well because he's going to have to spill some of those riches if he wants to return to the octagon. He was suspended retroactively for 9 months (with the possibility of a reduction to 6) and hit with a massive $500,000 fine. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor was banned for 6 months and fined only $50,000.
Unsurprisingly, Khabib and his crew have not responded very well to the news that the champion was fined 10 times more than 'The Notorious.' Check out some of their reactions below.
What exactly he's trying to say here is kind of cryptic. Unless he means that he can't afford a legal team as good as McGregor's, or that the UFC put in more effort behind the scenes to get McGregor off lighter, we can only guess. Anyway, one thing is certain: he's not a happy man right now. To be fair to the NAC, Khabib did instigate the brawl by jumping off the cage at Dillon Danis.
While it's natural to feel aggrieved, the NAC reached their conclusions based on the evidence before them. At the end of the day, Khabib DID start the brawl by jumping off the cage onto Dillon Danis. Meanwhile, Abubakar and Tukugov did enter the cage and threaten Conor McGregor, who had just been badly beaten up.
It's actually highly likely that if McGregor didn't have some previous history with the NAC, he would actually have got fined and suspended for an even shorter period. Khabib will pay a total of $750,000 pounds as he will cover his teammate's costs and $200,000 in legal fees. Ouch.


A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice.
I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes and because she is so much older than I am. But it's not only the passion, Dad, she's pregnant. Joan said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the Woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Joan has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for us and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!!
Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my center desk drawer.

Protests in Bangladesh over ban on cricket hero Shakib Al Hasan
Protesters are demanding the ICC to revoke the ban
Published: October 30, 2019 16:03 AFP

We had no prior knowledge of ICC investigation on Shakib: BCB chief
Dhaka: Hundreds of people staged a demonstration in a Bangladesh town Wednesday against a two-year ban on cricket captain Shakib Al Hasan for not declaring attempts to bribe him.
The ban on the 32-year-old superstar was announced on Tuesday by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which suspended one year of the punishment after Shakib "accepted three charges of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code".
Shakib made a public appeal for support after being banned, unleashing a flood of angry anti-ICC social media posts from his fans.
Police said about 700 people took to the streets in Shakib's hometown of Magura, demanding the ICC revoke the ban which came on the eve of Bangladesh's departure for a tour of India.
"The protesters shouted slogans and marched along a highway. They also formed a human chain as part of their action against the ICC decision," said Saiful Islam, police chief in the western town.
Protesters carried placards saying that Shakib was the victim of a "conspiracy".
Smaller protests were held in the capital Dhaka, police said.
The Test and T20 captain accepted charges that he had failed to disclose details of approaches made over a tri-nation series between Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in 2018 as well as the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL).
Shakib will be eligible to return from October 29 next year but he is ruled out of the T20 World Cup in Australia which starts October 8.
'Shocking' decision
"Those who have supported me over the years, I hope they, the fans, Bangladesh Cricket Board, the government, the journalists will continue to support me in my bad and good time," Shakib told reporters after the ban was announced.
"I am hopeful I will come back to cricket soon. I will be stronger and will perform my responsibilities with more sincerity," he said.
Shakib, who has played 56 Tests, 206 ODIs and 76 Twenty20 internationals, is Bangladesh's biggest sporting hero and has regularly topped the ICC rankings for all-rounders since 2009.
At this year's World Cup in England, Shakib scored more than 600 runs and picked up 11 wickets. He also became the fastest cricketer to reach 5,000 runs and 250 wickets in one-day internationals.
After the ban, Shakib stepped down from the MCC World Cricket committee, which said it was "sorry" to lose him but supported his resignation, which was "the right decision".
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan said Shakib's suspension was "shocking" as he is the centrepiece of the team.
"We have no substitute (for Shakib)... I was angry when I first heard about it and asked why he didn't inform me. We planned our India tour keeping Shakib in the team," Nazmul told reporters.
Bangladesh will play two Tests and three T20 internationals in its Indian tour that starts November 3.

Your baby's on the way and now you're wondering how to address the question: "How do I find the right pediatrician?" This is big step and, understandably, you want someone you can trust and get to know.
It's generally a good idea to embark on your pediatrician search at the end of your second trimester or beginning of your third trimester. That way, you won't be running around too much as your due date gets closer. You'll also have peace of mind knowing you've secured a doctor for your child, with time to spare.
2. You're their client. Interview them.
To help make your decision, ask the following questions.
A. What's your philosophy on… ?
B. How are visits for acute illnesses handled?
If your child has a sore throat, cold, or a potential ear infection, for example, can you make an appointment on short notice? Are there walk-in hours?
C. How do you typically handle emergencies or hospitalizations? If you're not on-call, who cares for my child?
You'll want to be well prepared in the event of any unforeseen circumstances. Of course, if it's a true emergency, we recommend bringing your child to the emergency department. If your child is staying in the hospital, your pediatrician should explain to you how care teams are assigned and what you can expect. Most pediatricians today have hospital -based pediatricians called hospitalists who care for children while they are staying in the hospital.
D. Do you have any specialized training?
While not a requirement, it may be beneficial to know if you think your child has special needs.
E. Will we go over how my child is growing and reaching developmental milestones? What do you normally look for at "well-baby" checkups?
As your baby grows into a kid, you and your doctor will want to keep tabs on how he or she is developing from all angles.
While not necessarily a deal breaker, location is definitely an important factor to consider in this decision. So if possible, choose a practice in a central location and not too far from home. Is it a quick ride from work? Daycare? School? Is it near the hospital? How is the office set up? Are there separate waiting rooms for sick and well patients?
4. Go ahead, ask other parents.
While you visit various pediatric offices, don't hesitate to chat with other parents in the waiting rooms to get a sense of their feeling about the doctor, practice and overall environment. Strike conversation casually and see if they're open to sharing. It can't hurt!
5. Time for some self-reflection.
No matter what course of action you take in choosing a pediatrician, make sure your concerns are addressed and your comfort is always top of mind. Is this the case? Be honest with yourself, above all.

10 key moments of growth in your spiritual journey.
We're all on unique paths as we grow spiritually. Our journeys, though, all have common milestones. We might use different words to describe the points. We might have additional moments that are highlights. Yet, the commonalities are there. Angel breaks them down into ten moments. These moments help us to understand our spiritual growth – where we're at, and where our inner heart desires to go. God has made his desire clear, to have deep personal relationships with us as part of his family. Where are you in your journey?
Moment 1: We admitted we were powerless over sin — that our lives had become inauthentic.
Moment 2: We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore our true humanity.
Moment 3: We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God with complete trust.
Moment 4: After a deep examination of conscience we admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Moment 5: We're entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character, confident of His healing mercy and His delight in us.
Moment 6: We humbly asked Jesus to remove our shortcomings and to help us live the sacramental life in God's grace.
Moment 7: After a deep meditation on the divinity of Jesus and His risen presence among us, we made direct amends to all persons we had harmed, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Moment 8: We truly accepted that all people are called to love one another as brothers and sisters in God's family and to forgive as Jesus has forgiven us.
Moment 9: We sought through prayer to improve our friendship with Jesus, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out by trusting in Him.
Moment 10: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Moments, we understood that evangelizing is our vocation to live in gratitude, to express our deepest identity and the reason God's family exist.
If you would like to join a fellowship group that discusses each of these moments please contact us for details.

Posted on 2012/12/20 2015/01/10 by Nate	Posted in Concert ReviewTagged Death Grips, No Love Deep Web, The Money Store
The last 2 years have been a rollercoaster for Sacramento natives Zach Hill, Stefan "MC Ride" Burnett & Andy Morin. Their band, Death Grips, have gone from idea to unknown, Internet darlings to signing to LA Reid's Epic label. This year saw the release of their first proper album, "The Money Store", a cancelled tour, and the leaking of their follow up after a dispute with the label. Questions of their authenticity led to the posting of confidential internal label documents and them being dropped by the label. The legal aftermath remains to be seen.
The band formed in Sacramento, California in December 2010. Within 3 months a self- titled EP debuted, followed a couple months later by a mix-tape album, "Exmilitary." Sounding little like anything that came before, their music is brutal and demanding, not something for a casual listener. The music is ostensibly hip-hop/rap, but they challenge the normal genre structures, distorting the usual 808/909 formula into a more industrial, tribal territory. The dense layering of their material becomes hypnotic, pulling you into the space it inhabits, especially in live presentation.
In performance, Death Grips is only the two primary members, with Zach Hill drumming while MC Ride channels his inner banshee to a backing track. Zach Hill's years performing with live bands (most notably, Hella) manifests in their approach: a barrage of a set with no breaks. The band quickly takes the stage and steamrolls their way through a 45 min set, leaving the audience a rapturous sweaty pile. A bass-heavy mix of beats and backing music set the scene while a pair of flat screen tvs turned on their side play a stream of elements from their music videos. MC Ride stalks the stage barking his verses while Zach Hill beats a stripped down drum set into submission. House lights mostly stuck stark white with heavy use of strobe.
The performance I went to was all ages, their L.A. debut after cancelling at least two shows here. At the sell-out show, it was hard to tell how much of the audience were actual fans as opposed to kids that can't get into many shows due to age and had an opportunity to see something they have heard of. It is similarly difficult to discern what the crowd makeup means to a rising independent hip-hop group in 2012. Made up mostly of young white males, the crowd lapped up the bombardment. A steady line queued up buying their t-shirts all night long, there were 2 main designs to choose from, a collage of flyers in black or white or a shirt with a 15 by 15 inch print of their latest album cover, a photo of an erect penis with the album title scrawled on the side. Several teenage girls took sphotos of themselves posing next to the shirt throughout the night. I can't imagine too many people actually purchased that design.
A Twitter user, @m_brand compared them to the feeling that listening to Rage Against The Machine and Nine Inch Nails gave in the mid '90s. In my estimation, this sounds about right. Those bands brought a sense of danger to mainstream music that had been lost in the fluffy years of the '80s. Either in direct content or abstracted in videos and imagery, this element is something that has again gone missing in recent years, especially in the digital/ social media age. Death Grips have deftly used social media to present themselves as outsiders, attempting to breakdown the social structures that they are supposed to inhabit. If they are true to their vision any hopes of significant commercial success seems unlikely, but I can't help but hope that I'm wrong, that people still get inspired by difficult artists, that things pan out differently for them.

Q: How to get Count of IGrouping<'a, Foo> Linq I am attempting to write a query that returns a list grouped by OrderID and DateTime value. My first query returns a grouped count which is of type:
IGrouping<'a, Foo> SomeList

Now I am attempting to execute a loop to produce a view model of type List<ViewModel> model based on the above. The problem is an Order may contain more than 1 item OrderLines, I wanted to add a check if the count is > 1 then loop through the sub items and create an object to add to the List object.
var query = (from o in db.Orders
             join ol in db.OrderLines on o.OrderID equals ol.OrderID
             join u in db.Users on o.UserSalesID equals u.UserID
             join r in db.Reports on o.UserSalesID equals r.UserId
             where o.Timestamp <= timeNow && o.Timestamp >= timeYesterday && u.UserID == o.UserSalesID
             group ol by new { o.Timestamp, o.OrderID } into g
             select g).ToList();

// the loop
foreach (var orderLineList in query)
{
    foreach (var item in orderLineList) // how to get a count of OrderLineList here
    {
        // check if count is more than 1 then create an annon object and get total price of order etc
        // if not then carry on as normal

        model.Add(new ReportViewModel()
        {
            Gross = orderLineList.Sum(ol => ol.RetailPrice),
            Net = orderLineList.Sum(ol => ol.RetailPrice), // minus expense,
            PaymentType = orders.Where(o => o.OrderID == item.OrderID).FirstOrDefault().PaymentID,
            Quantity = db.OrderLines.Where(ol => ol.OrderID == item.OrderID).Sum(ol => ol.Quantity),
            OrderID = item.OrderID
        });
    }
}

Top 10 Most Expensive Cars Auctioned in Scottsdale 2019
admin August 23, 2021 Leave a Comment
In January 2019, a major auto auction took place in the Arizona city of Scottsdale. As part of the event, which lasted a whole week, many rare cars were sold under the hammer. Below we offer you to familiarize yourself with the ten most expensive lots.
10. Ferrari 212 Europa Coupe 1952
In tenth place is the Ferrari 212 Europa Coupe. At one time, the copy put up for auction was shown to the general public, first at the 1952 Paris Motor Show, and then at the 1953 Brussels Motor Show.
In the same year, this car took part in the 1000 km Nürburgring race, taking 9th place in its class. At the auction, the car was sold for 1,930,000 dollars, which was largely due to the excellent technical condition of the lot, which was restored in 2012 by the efforts of the Ferrari Classiche Department specialists.
9. Ferrari 330 GTS Spider 1967
At one time, only 100 copies of the Ferrari 330 GTS Spider were produced, while the car sold at the Scottsdale auction is 71st in a row. The previous owners handled this rare two-door car with great care, having driven 33,750 km.
This copy of the Ferrari 330 GTS Spyder is equipped with a factory air conditioner, which was once offered for the model as an option, and also has a Ferrari Classiche2 certificate, confirming that it retains the original engine and transmission. All this made it possible to sell the car under the hammer for $ 2,012,500.
8. 2020 Toyota Supra Coupe
Another novelty sold under the hammer was the 2020 Toyota GR Supra. Again, the very first copy of the model was put up for auction, on the engine cover of which the executive director of Toyota Akio Toyoda signed.
As a result, the sports car went under the hammer for quite a respectable 2,100,000 dollars, while the buyer, in addition to the car itself, also received a VIP package.
The latter includes a racing suit and a pair of VIP tickets for the NASCAR Cup 2019 in Richmond, after which the owner of the very first Supra will be able to ride with ex-racer Michael Waltrip.
7. Ford GT Heritage Coupe 2019
Despite the dominance of "Italians", models of American companies were also presented at the auction in Scottsdale 2019. The most interesting of them turned out to be the Ford GT Heritage Edition, built in honor of the legendary GT40. Of course, the car of the nineteenth year does not represent any historical value, but the bidders were interested in the car.
The very first copy of the modification in the series was put up for auction. Rick Hendrick, who owns the American racing team "Hendrick Motorsports", was lucky to become its owner, while his bank account "improved" by $ 2,500,000.
6. Ferrari 288 GTO Coupe 1985
Another Ferrari 288 GTO Coupe was sold at the Scottsdale auction. It was put up for auction by the Gooding Company. All these years, the rare supercar was carefully stored and practically not used, thanks to which it was sold for $ 2,507,500.
5. Maserati A6G 2000 Spider 1951
In turn, Bonhams put up for auction a 1951 Maserati A6G 2000 Spider. Good technical condition and rarity made this lot desirable for many collectors, as a result of which the price of the car reached $ 2,755,000.
Along with the car, the buyer received a set of documents, including the original invoice dated May 17, 1951, as well as a set of tools, six spark plugs and five 16-inch wheels with Pirelli tires.
RM Sotheby's has brought a rare Ferrari 288 GTO Coupe to Scottsdale. This model is a limited edition supercar, which at one time was released in a limited edition of 272 copies.
This particular car attracted the attention of the auction participants with a low mileage (about 4,700 km), as well as an ideal technical condition, which made it possible to sell it for $ 3,360,000.
3. Ferrari 250 MM Spider 1953
In the 50s, the Italians produced 12 examples of the Ferrari 250 MM Spider, built on the legendary 250 MM chassis. This particular car ended up in the hands of Jaguar dealer Alfred Momo.
Subsequently, the spider participated in many racing races, while retaining the original chassis, engine and transmission, as a result of which such a car went under the hammer for $ 5,395,000.
2. Ferrari 250 GT TdF Coupe 1958
Another notable lot of the auction was the Ferrari 250 GT TdF Coupe, built in honor of the legendary Tour de France bicycle race. This modification was produced from 1956 to 1959, while at the auction in Scottsdale the 19th built copy (out of 36) went under the hammer. The car was sold for $ 5,890,000.
This red and white sports car has a rich sporting history. At one time, the finished car was delivered to Venezuela, and from 1958 to 1960, such racers as Julio Pola, Ettore Chimeri and Jose Miguel Galia managed to drive the two-door.
1. Ferrari 250 GT SWB Coupe 1963
The Gooding Company has brought a rare Ferrari 250 GT SWB Coupe to the Scottsdale auction. At one time, only 96 copies of such a model were released, so it is not surprising that increased attention was riveted to this lot. As a result of fierce bargaining, such a machine went under the hammer for $ 7,595,000.

Did you know that there's a lot of high tech in toilet tissue?
The Business Area Tissue stands for innovative converting and packaging machines for hygiene tissue products.
Processing wood into tissue paper is a complex technological procedure. However, using complex machines to transform big jumbo reels of tissue paper into the form of high-quality napkins or toilet tissue is real high tech. The machines perform many work steps to manufacture the finished product. They unwind, print, emboss, rewind, fold, cut, wrap and bundle within seconds and fully automatically. Körber Tissue supplies the machines that do all this.
At the Fabio Perini production plant in Lucca, Italy: The transformation of wood into paper requires high tech machines.
On a roll: Fabio Perini also makes machines for producing the gray cardboard tubes that are inside rolls of toilet paper.

Continuous innovation and a systematic orientation to customer requirements make this Business Area the technology and market leader in its industry. Körber Tissue offers customized solutions for markets all over the world. That's because the requirements placed on hygiene tissue paper vary greatly between different countries.

Lucca, Italy: The Tissue Valley
Founded in 1966 as Fabio Perini and acquired by Körber in 1993, the Business Area Tissue employs experts at eight production locations in North and South America, Europe, and Asia.

"Our goal is to reshape the future of the industry so that we can grow together with our customers," says CDO Antonio Mosca, who is responsible for digitization at the Business Area.
The Tomorrow Lab is a unique establishment: an open innovation hub for sharing knowledge and collaborating with suppliers, young companies (start-ups), universities, and institutions.
Everything in its proper place: Körber Tissue supplies machinery for the entire production range.
Making an impression: On the engraved printing rolls, napkins and other paper products are embossed with patterns.
Digital Tissue™ as an innovation driver

This production line from Fabio Perini independently analyzes all process and production parameters, sends the data to a computer, and provides adjustments during ongoing operations. The entire production line is managed from one control room. The result is hygiene tissue product of a consistently high quality. It even has a name of its own: Digital Tissue™.

To ring in 2020, we're looking back at some of our favorite stories about another set of twenties. The 1920s in America and abroad were rich with love, booze, money, and radical change. From heel-tapping flappers testing social limits to gun-toting gangsters running riot in the aftermath of the Great War, the characters that populate these novels both illustrate the historic tropes of our imaginations and defy convention. Taken together, this collection of poignant, nostalgic, and atmospheric portraits of a bygone era encapsulate the ethos of a time not all that different from our own.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's quintessential novel about Jazz Age America, midwesterner Nick Carraway is invited into the lavish life of his cousin Daisy Buchanan and his Long Island neighbor Jay Gatsby. Despite the fact that Daisy is married to the boorish Tom Buchanan, she's still attracted to Gatsby, her former lover. As Nick facilitates their budding affair, he finds that the sway power, prestige, and old aristocracy still hold over what he thought was a modernizing world becomes hard to ignore.
Some consider it "the great American novel." The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his powerful love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale that has been essential reading since it was published.

City of Flickering Light
by Juliette Fay
It's the summer of 1921 and best friends Irene, Millie, and Henry are headed west for the bright lights of Hollywood. Determined to make it in the burgeoning film industry, the trio are initially awed by glitz and glam. But as the smoke begins to clear, the grit and grime of back alleys, dive bars, and ratty apartments threaten both their happiness and their lives. A heartfelt, cinematic testament to friendship, City of Flickering Light is Juliette Fay at her radiant best.
Juliette Fay
Juliette Fay—"one of the best authors of women's fiction" (Library Journal)—transports us back to the Golden Age of Hollywood and the raucous Roaring Twenties, as three friends struggle to earn their places among the stars of the silent screen—perfect for fans of La La Land and Rules of Civility.
It's July 1921, "flickers" are all the rage, and Irene Van Beck has just declared her own independence by jumping off a moving train to escape her fate in a traveling burlesque show. When her friends, fellow dancer Millie Martin and comedian Henry Weiss, leap after her, the trio finds their way to the bright lights of Hollywood with hopes of making it big in the burgeoning silent film industry.
At first glance, Hollywood in the 1920s is like no other place on earth—iridescent, scandalous, and utterly exhilarating—and the three friends yearn for a life they could only have dreamed of before. But despite the glamour and seduction of Tinseltown, success doesn't come easy, and nothing can prepare Irene, Millie, and Henry for the poverty, temptation, and heartbreak that lie ahead. With their ambitions challenged by both the men above them and the prejudice surrounding them, their friendship is the only constant through desperate times, as each struggles to find their true calling in an uncertain world. What begins as a quest for fame and fortune soon becomes a collective search for love, acceptance, and fulfillment as they navigate the backlots and stage sets where the illusions of the silver screen are brought to life.
With her "trademark wit and grace" (Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murderer's Daughters), Juliette Fay crafts another radiant and fascinating historical novel as thrilling as the bygone era of Hollywood itself.
The Girls At the Kingfisher Club
by Genevieve Valentine
In this sparkling, reimagined fairy tale, firstborn Jo loves nothing more than the eleven sisters she's raised since their mother's death. When their father is asleep, the girls sneak out of their aristocratic home and dance the night away in booze-drenched, music-laced speakeasies. But one night, after running into no-good bootlegger Tom, Jo begins to realize that doing what's right for herself and doing what's right for her family aren't always the same thing.
This dazzling story of love, sisterhood, and freedom reimagines the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses as Jazz Age flappers who escape their father's Manhattan town house each night to dance in the city's underground speakeasies. If you loved Rules of Civility or The Paris Wife, be sure to tuck this bewitching novel into your beach bag.

by Paula McLain
You may recognize the name Ernest Hemingway, but Paula McLain's stunning historical look at Hemingway's marriage in 1920s Paris makes sure you'll remember the name of his wife, Hadley Richardson. After a whirlwind romance, Ernest and Hadley move to fun-loving, raucous, volatile Jazz Age Paris. But the no-boundaries lifestyle begins to take its toll, and Hadley struggles to maintain her sense of self as she becomes Ernest's muse for what will be his breakthrough novel.
This deeply intimate novel captures the love affair between two unforgettable figures: Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson. Despite their extraordinary bond, the Hemingways are ill-prepared for the hard-drinking and fast-living life of Jazz Age Paris, and they find themselves facing a deception that will lead to the unraveling of everything they've fought so hard for.

What would you do if you had P1,500?
For Josh Ortiz, a young US-based Filipino filmmaker, the decision was easy – make an inspirational short film.
With only $30 as budget, he was able to produce this 3-minute video about failure, motivation, and success.
Watch and be sure to listen carefully to the words.
People work hard every day, you can't assume just because you work hard you'll succeed… Trust me, no one can stop you from dreaming. But, dreaming is not enough. Wake up and realize that this world owes you nothing.
One day you will finally have the opportunity to prove to everyone they were wrong… How you react to failure will determine whether you're a quitter or a winner… If you have the courage to try again, you already won.
"Listen" is written & directed by Josh Ortiz and it's his official entry to "Project Greenlight", a documentary series on HBO that could earn him a chance to make a feature film with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as executive producers.
And that was truly motivating, "If you have the courage to try again, you already won." I can feel the wods..
Thanks for sharing Sir Fitz!
very inspirational,. Failure is not a reminder that you have lost but a reminder that you need to stand right back up.
The harsh truth is that the world honestly owes you nothing. For awhile I was really bitter when things weren't going my way but I think the process of realizing you have to truly work for things in life was a growing experience.
