The celery fly is a pest of celery and parsnip; infestations also occur on parsley, various wild Umbelliferae and on ornamentals such as giant hogweed. The larvae (known as "celery leaf miners') form expansive, brown, blister-like blotches on the leaves (Plate 7a), which affect both the appearance and vigour of host plants. Blotched leaves curl, turn yellow and eventually become brown; heavily infested plants appear scorched, plant growth is checked and crop quality is reduced. Damage is particularly severe on young celery plants; that on parsnip (cf. mines caused by larvae of the moth Epermenia chaerophyllella, p. 208) tends to be less so.
Adults appear in late April and early May. Eggs are deposited in or on the underside of celery leaves and other hosts during May; they hatch about a week later. The larvae then feed within the leaf tissue to form expansive blotches in which black frass and moisture accumulate. Unlike mines formed by larvae of Epermenia chaerophyllella (p. 208), there are no associated strands of silk. Several larvae often occur within the same blotch, and development takes from 2 to 3 weeks. Larvae then pupate within the blotch or in the soil, and adults emerge 3A1 weeks later. A second generation of adults occurs in late July and August. Second-brood larvae complete their development in the autumn and then overwinter within their puparia. Under favourable conditions, there may be three generations annually.
Adult 5 mm long, light brown to black, with green eyes; thorax shiny; legs yellow; wings iridescent, distinctly mottled (Fig. 251). Egg 0.5 mm long, elongate-oval, white, smooth-shelled. Larva up to 7 mm long, shiny white, greenish-tinged; posterior spiracles relatively close-set and each with three elongate pores; mouth-hooks triangular and with numerous small teeth. Puparium 5 mm long, pale yellow, wrinkled, oval and slightly flattened.


PABLO, MT – Secretary of State Linda McCulloch presented Ron Couture, CSKT enrolled tribal member and owner of Jitterbug Weed and Pest Control, with a Secretary of State's "Certificate of Good Standing" during the CSKT Tribal Council meeting on Tuesday, July 29.
McCulloch also honored CSKT Chairman Ron Trahan and the Tribal Council for its commitment to support businesses owned and operated by Montana Tribes.
McCulloch launched the Secretary of State's Montana Centennial Program in 2010 to celebrate businesses in Montana that have been successfully registered with the office for 100 years.


The evening was late. The last of the sunlight fading away. A spot of light caught the tip of the cactus, Pitaya's emerging flower.
The Pitaya is a very large crawling type of cactus. The flower very large. The fruit makes an excellent drink.

FingerHalo will launch debut single One For The Angels in July – and here's the artwork in all its glory.
It's inspired by a century-old campaign poster for the One Big Union, a socialist concept that aimed to prevent corporations dividing and ruling the workers because of their affiliations to unions organised by type of work. Although the idea has been lost over the past 100 years of capitalist struggle, the notion of uniting against the corporate enemy remains valid.
It has two strong connections with One For The Angels. Firstly, the song is about a conversation between union activists, who suspect they've lost their battle against The Corporation – but know they have to cling to hope and keep fighting. And secondly, there's more than a passing resemblance between that 1910s socialist warrior and our very own Jo Callis.
One For The Angels, backed with Confusion, will be released as a digital download and limited-edition vinyl single via Noise Command. More details soon. FingerHalo have two confirmed shows in June.

As much as writing consumes my time and has taken over my life I still have a day job. It is necessary to support myself and my addiction, luckily I enjoy my day job so it isn't a big deal. However after working eight to five coming home and sitting in front of the computer for another 5-8 hours is tiring. It wears you down quickly and before you know it the words run together and all the ideas seem like bad ones. There are certain things that help me make that switch from normal professional Liz to creative writer Liz.
1. Exercise- Immediately when I get home from work I go outside for a run/walk. Once I am going with my book playlist blaring in my ears my mind finds its own way back into the story and starts working on scenes, no forcing necessary.
2. Explaining a scene that is troubling me or what my book is about to someone else who will question me about it. In order to answer questions about my work or explain the underlying emotional threads of a particular scene I have to be in my characters minds. Once there it is easy to keep going.
3. Reading what I have written. If I flip back to the beginning of a chapter or a previous chapter and reread it often it will pull me back in and make it easier to continue.
4. Chatting with my writing group. While this one often back fires and three hours later I am still chatting with them a lot of times hearing about their stories or what they are working sparks enthusiasm in me for my own story. Making me really want to create and be awesome so they won't kick me out of the group.
5. Taking a break. Sometimes an hour, two or a whole night off is necessary. You can't be afraid to take it and let your brain regroup.
How do you get back into your stories?
I like your mind clearing ideas. Some of my best ideas come to me in the car, when I have my playlist cranked loud and I can sing at the top of my lungs, while passing motorist stare.
Love your list Liz! Talking about the scene really helps, as well as the writing group. But I agree, it can backfire :) Sometimes I need to take a day and regroup, or go out and have some fun with friends, which can spark some enthusiasm again to create. I like to observe interactions between people, and it makes me wonder what my characters would do, or act like in those situations. Also, reading other books can inspire me to keep going and create my own work.
Exercise is my way to clear my head too. I actually write while walking on a treadmill. Somehow staying moving and the slow rhythm makes my mind focus. Sitting at my lovely desk looking outside my writing window at the pretty flowers and the bees and the cardinals with their nest and... what was I talking about again?
Yep, dark writing corner on treadmill for me!

Various audio, video and written materials from a URC minister in Coventry
I am one of the ministers sharing oversight of the North Coventry Group of United Reformed Churches – Foleshill Road URC, Holyhead Road URC, Keresley URC and Potters Green URC. I will be joined by a stipendiary colleague in early April 2020 after that post has been vacant for two-and-a-half years.
I have been active within the Coventry and Warwickshire District/Area since the early 1980s, nationally accredited as a Lay Preacher in 1985.
After training at Queen's College in Edgbaston I was ordained as a non-stipendiary minister of word and sacraments in 1996. I shared in pastoral ministry within NW Coventry Group from 1996 to 2001, then had a local lay training role for five years and was Interim Moderator for West Orchard URC 2002-2004 and for Warwick Road/Foleshill Road/Potters Green 2007-2008. I was much involved at Synod and nationally in assessment of candidates for the ministry. Local, Synod and National involvement ramped down significantly after major illness in 2009 and then again in 2012.
I retired from my 'day job' as a manager in the automotive industry (at HORIBA MIRA Limited) in October 2019. My role had increased in scope in recent years and latterly involved managing the deployment and technical work of over 20 staff in various mechanical engineering roles.
I serve the URC General Assembly as a member of the nominations committee panel for review and appointment of various senior post-holders within the denomination.
In retirement I have begun study (October 2019) for a BA degree in History at the University of Warwick, on a part-time basis.

" ES&S Touch-Screens Keep Flipping in WV, Now in At Least 6 Counties	"
The Charleston Gazette reports still more ES&S iVotronic touch-screen vote flipping in WV, including reports now from Jackson, Putnam, Berkeley, Ohio, Monongalia, and Greenbrier Counties.
Add those to the reports of vote flipping on ES&S machines in at least four different states. We're also trying to find a moment to report on votes flipping in other states (including NV) on the Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, usually touch-screen) systems made by other private companies including Sequoia Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic.
Today's report mentions that these are older ES&S machines. We'll again remind everyone that Dan Rather produced an hour-long investigative report two years ago in which he reported on the touch-screens that ES&S was using and how they were causing these same problems even then. No one recalled those machines and now they continue to flip votes.
Most voters who complained said their votes switched from Obama to McCain. No one complained that their votes switched the opposite way.
Juan E. Gilbert, a professor at Auburn University's Center for Governmental Services...says the ways voting screens are set up cause problems.
"Some voters touching screens roll their fingers down the screen, trying to touch the names of the people they want. It is human nature."
People voting for Obama who do that,Gilbert said, may actually touch the area for McCain.
"But you cannot have John McCain losing votes to Barack Obama. If you touch McCain's name at the top of the screen, it will not switch to Barack Obama."
"This problem will keep occurring. Some voters notice. But a lot don't pay attention and might not notice."
CNN even ran a report last week (see video at right)suggesting the problem was due to voters accidentally touching the choice next to the one they are trying to vote for. That report doesn't explain what happened in TN when an attempted vote for Obama lit up the choice for Cynthia McKinney five rows away.
It also defies what was shown in the Dan Rather report, as votes were seen flipping again and again, even when the neighboring candidate was not being touched at all by the voter.
"There are safeguards in the system. Here, in Monongalia County, we have a seven-page ballot and a three-page review screen where the machine tells you what people you voted for.
"Voters can review their votes before a third screen comes up and says, 'Is this the vote you want to make?' Then, you have to hit the word 'confirm'," [Monongalia County Clerk Carye L.] Blaney said.
Um, problem with that? A Rice University study showed us, two years ago, that of those voters who do manage to check their review screens at the end of the long process (and the huge majority don't), two-thirds of them don't notice when their selections have been flipped to different candidates or initiative.
« PREVIOUS STORY "'AWOL' Obama/DNC Attorneys Found! Turns Out They Were Working in Secret, Reports Alternet"
"ES&S Touch-Screens Keep Flipping in WV, Now in At Least 6 Counties"
Wouldn't it be nice if people loved their country enough to go to jail for a week or two in defense of our right to vote?
Don't underestimate the legal penalties for such civil disobedience or the many thousands of dollars that each of those overpriced pieces of crap will be billed at.
and if the poll workers refuse to take those machines which have been witnessed flipping votes permanently offline, then...?
Is the corrupt atmosphere in which Democrats reside pickling their brains? Is there some kind of group obsessive compulsive disorder going on with the Democratic party that they continue the same self-defeating patterns after multiple failures?
The Democratic Party is criminally negligent by not confronting the perils of electronic machines that artificially alter election results in favor of fascists.
CIA protégé "anderson cooper." Put the heat on these lying propagandists.
-- Set up MySpace, Facebook, Mixx, Bebo, Squidoo pages devoted to it.
-- comment contrary views on extreme right-wing blogs.
-- comment at YouTube on the videos on BradBlog. Right now, you'll see that wingnuts are adding fascist propaganda on the comments underneath the ACORN video and the Russia Today video.
And So On. That would just be the beginning.
I'm talking about waging cyber guerrilla warfare against the mainstream media in order to overcome censorship of information relating to these attacks against democracy. "Be the media" is no longer enough. It now has to be "Beat the mainstream media."
Scream holy hell if you see your vote flip. But be advised that a more sophisticated computer hack could flip votes to McCain, and still let you see Obama as your choice. It was demonstrated in the Hacking Democracy movie by security expert Harri Hursti. Benedict Arnold was elected and the polling lady burst into tears. Remember?
That's why the video confirmation of this swindle is just the tip of the iceburg, the malfunction of functioning malware.
The map at Verified-Voting tells you all you will need to know about where and why the polls will be so far off come Nov. 4. Then we'll be treated to a self-satisfied Democratic "leadership" crowing about how they squeaked out an election that should have been a blowout.
Yeah, behind the scenes, uhuh.
O yeah, back with "Count Every Vote in Ohio" Kerry.
Hey, would it be a lot of work to compile all the vote-flipping that's been witnessed so far into some sort of table?
What I want to know is, how can anyone be certain that REGARDLESS of whether or not people notice this error and try to correct it - that the flipped vote isn't STILL being counted anyway by the machine? Seriously, is there any possible way to confirm this is NOT the case.
No way to at all confirm how the DRE machine will choose to count, or not count, your vote. In fact, your vote can even be mysteriously "dropped" in a certain race on the ES&S iVotronic machines, M.I.A., like we saw in Sarasota CD-13 in '06. The election was so anomalously decimated that 18,000 votes registered no preference in that hotly contested race; 14% of the county's votes--lost. Even after two recounts with nothing to count, two state audits with no paper to confirm, an FSU test, a GAO test, four or five lawsuits and a whitewashed GAO report, we STILL haven't found 'em.
Over 300 citizens testified that they, too, saw their vote flip from D to R, or that they had trouble getting their vote to register for the Dem Candidate, Christine Jennings.
Sorry about the poor audio, but here's some more solid proof that this is NOT "fat finger syndrome" or "stupid voters" or "tin foil hat wearin', conspiracy fodder" or any other nonsense that ES&S and their shills continue to peddle.
Excellent point. And btw, that crying poll worker is now running for Volusia County Supervisor of Elections. Susan Pynchon, my hero and friend, who has a VERY good chance of beating her Republican opponent, Anne McFall, who has a history of stonewalling open, transparent elections in her county.
"People in Power/ pt 1."
The Steelers and the United Steelworkers Union are knocking on doors in western PA to make sure that everyone has accurate information about Obama. The grassroots effort this man inspires is awesome. The AFL-CIO leadership thinks that Obama is the best candidate for labor in a very long time.
What kind of pony and trap is this? I right clicked on the Obama link you gave in your post, put in 'voting machines' and nothing showed up. Did you give the right page, or was that a goose chase? We're laying bets on this race. How much they been angus deaton on this election?
guv, there's a line that says '0 results found' or like that. I think that's the point.
DNC Chairman Howard Dean was on the Maddow show this evening and she had several questions for him about the problems early voters are having including the voting machine problems. Early on she commented that (not verbatim but really close)'There seems to be a Democratic strategy about not talking about it, not talking about long lines at the polling places, efforts to disenfranchise voters, chaos at the polls, not to talk about it because you don't want to risk discouraging people who might otherwise turn out to vote if they think their vote won't count...' He didn't answer the question and launched into a response about how 'we have fixed a lot of problems that started in 2000...' BS answer.
Maddow pressed on and after getting answers that were non-responsive in the main asked if it wasn't time for him or Obama or Biden to give a speech that was a call to duty. To tell people that there are going to be lines, people may challenge you ... don't be intimidated, this is an important election so get out there and vote. Dean was pathetic! He said people know they need to vote and we don't need to tell them that. It was extraordinary, he just blew her off. Dean was wooden, uncomfortable and evasive as hell.
The non-response is a plan by the DNC and apparently Obama is on board.

TeachRock 2020: Looking Forward
Happy New Year! We at TeachRock hope you had a moment to rest, relax, and prepare for the New Year. We've been doing preparing as well, and are excited to give you a glimpse of what's in store at TeachRock in the coming year.
More Educational Resources
In 2019, we launched Trace it Back, which connects today's most popular artists to the educational materials TeachRock offers. Through this portal, you can direct your student's passion for Billie Eilish or Ariana Grande to lessons in Science, ELA, SEL and Social Studies. We'll be publishing a new Trace it Back entry every week, and announce them on our social media every #TraceItBackTuesday.
We're also happy to announce that we will start publishing Unit Plans starting later this year! These collections of 5-10 TeachRock Lessons will be organized around a common topic or theme, and will include curriculum maps and assessment strategies. Creating unit plans has been regularly recommended by our users, and we are thrilled to begin publishing them!
Growing into More Classrooms
Our mission at TeachRock is to be a resource for every teacher, no matter the subject or classroom. Late last year, we began working with primary school educators to "remix" some of our existing lessons to make them more accessible to elementary learners. Already we've created two elementary scaffolded lessons, Singer Songwriters and the Environmental Movement, and Ritchie Valens. We hope to be publishing 1-2 such "Remixed" elementary lessons every month.
In Spring, we're launching a Blues and Literature ELA lesson collection, which introduces students to the work of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Harper Lee, and August Wilson. Additionally, we'll release a new Hip Hop-themed visual arts lesson pack, made in collaboration with famed illustrator Andre Leroy Davis. Later in the Summer, we'll release a Math lesson pack made in collaboration with Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart – our first venture into mathematics!
More Diverse Representation
We've written in the past about our efforts to develop a culturally responsive curriculum at TeachRock. Late in 2019, we conducted a site survey to discover that male musicians are featured 2-to-1 over female musicians, and that white musicians outnumber all other musicians by 57%. These numbers are unacceptable, and not reflective of the diversity represented in the classroom.
In response, we are taking a number of steps to make TeachRock more culturally responsive. All this year, we will be looking over Book 1: Birth of Rock, to find places to recognize how less represented musicians have contributed to Rock and Roll – people like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Momma Thornton, Ma Rainey, Mildred Bailey, and Bessie Smith. Additionally, we are planning a series of lessons focused on the role Latinx and Asian-American culture has played on American popular music, past and present. Finally, we will be expanding our lesson offerings on LGBTQ+ musicians and history.
Look forward to this (and many surprises) in 2020!

Greenland rocks suggest Earth's magnetic field is older than we thought
Analysis finds that the planet's protective shield was in place by at least 3.7 billion years ago, as early life arose.

Magnetic minerals in ancient Greenlandic rocks suggest that Earth's magnetic field arose at least 3.7 billion years ago. The finding pushes back the time of the magnetic field's birth to about 200 million years earlier than the commonly accepted estimate — around the time life first appeared on Earth.
Scientists think that having a magnetic field makes Earth more hospitable to life. The field, which is generated by liquid iron sloshing about in the planet's core, shields Earth from energetic particles flowing from the Sun. It helps the planet hold on to its atmosphere and maintain liquid water on its surface.
But very few rocks that are billions of years old, and thus could preserve evidence of when the magnetic field arose, have survived to the present day. The new report is a rare glimpse at what Earth was like billions of years ago.
"I hope you are as excited as I am," Claire Nichols, a palaeomagnetist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, told a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, California, on 9 December.
Rare rocks
Nichols led two expeditions to western Greenland in the summers of 2018 and 2019. She was targeting a set of ancient rocks in the Isua region, north of the capital city Nuuk, that researchers have long studied in search of clues to early life. The Isua rocks have inspired fierce debates, including whether they contain fossils of complex organisms from 3.7 billion years ago.
Geological forces have squeezed and heated the rocks so much over the past few billion years that most scientists thought the rocks had lost most of their magnetism. But Nichols and her team travelled to the northernmost part of Isua to study rocks that had been least affected by this squeezing and heating.
Iron minerals in those rocks yielded information on the direction of Earth's magnetic field when the minerals formed. Because the rocks are 3.7 billion years old, the magnetic signal must be, too, Nichols said.
Her team ran various tests to try to confirm that the signal was real and not some sort of weak magnetism introduced later as the rocks were heated and squeezed.
Tantalizing clues
"It does sound super-exciting," says Nicholas Swanson-Hysell, a geoscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was in the audience at Nichols's talk. He met up with her afterwards to brainstorm ideas about how to confirm her team's finding. One idea might be to look at rocks from parts of northeastern North America that were connected to Greenland in the past, to see whether they can illuminate more of the geological history of the Isua rocks, he says.
John Tarduno, a palaeomagnetist at the University of Rochester in New York, was more sceptical of Nichols's claim. "I'd like it to be true, but I'd like to see more," he says.
In 2015, Tarduno and his colleagues reported finding signs of Earth's magnetic field from more than 4 billion years ago, inside zircon crystals from Australia. Other scientists recently challenged that paper, saying the magnetic minerals inside the zircons could not be accurately dated1.
Aside from those contested Australian zircons, the oldest-known evidence of Earth's magnetic field — rocks in South Africa — dates to around 3.5 billion years ago.

Whether you are a new customer who isn't sure where to start with our extensive menu, or you are a regular guest who has a favorite dish and sticks with it, this list is designed to guide you. These are five of our most popular, stand-out dishes at Marcello's. Give them a try! You won't be sorry!
Pork Osso Bucco – This is our own unique twist on the Italian tradition. This slow-roasted pork shank is nestled on a bed of our homemade, garlic-infused mashed potatoes, then topped with sauteed mushrooms & jalapenos in a Dijon-Chianti cream sauce, and accompanied by a side of seasonal vegetables. The creaminess perfectly offsets the spice of the peppers to create a balanced sauce you will dream about for nights to come.
Capellini di Mare – This dish combines large, fresh sea scallops, perfectly pan-seared, with fresh basil and tomatoes in a tomato-cream sauce. Yes, it is a rich dish and very filling, and no, you will not regret indulging!
Linguine con Carne – A long-time local favorite, this pasta dish is definitely not the prettiest item on our menu. Don't let its appearance fool you! Spicy, ground Italian sausage is sauteed here with mushrooms and red onions in your choice of garlic cream or marinara sauce. The local secret? Ask your server to combine the two sauces, and enjoy the best of both worlds!
Risotto – Every night we offer a different Risotto, featuring some of the chef's freshest and finest ingredients currently available. Each risotto is its own masterpiece – creamy, cheesy, and full of goodness. You can't go wrong with this option.
Pesce – Our nightly Pesce special is also a sure-fire bet. Our seafood is always fresh, and always expertly prepared. Whether it is a Hazelnut-encrusted Steelhead topped with Dungeness Crab or a Blackened Wild King Salmon with a lime crema, you won't regret choosing the Pesce!
What is your favorite dish at Marcello's? Tell us!
Here at Marcello's, we are especially conscientious about dietary restrictions. Numerous members of our own family have severe food allergies, so we grew up aware of the complications this can pose when dining out. We make every possible effort to avoid cross-contamination in our kitchen, and we even have a special allergy alert system in place on our computers so servers can make the kitchen aware of a guest's needs. Because our food is made fresh to order, it is easy to for our staff to accommodate dietary restrictions. Need that dish without cheese? No problem! Gluten-free pasta? You got it! In fact, we also have a gluten-free pizza crust option, complimentary gluten-free crackers and almost every dish on our menu can be fashioned gluten-free. So if you have a dietary restriction, don't be afraid to let your server know. We are happy to help you with your abundant choices. Because no one should be afraid of their food!

I know you can find a lot of advice out there about items to avoid when shopping at a thrift store. sixteen different things! (I wondered what could be left at that point?)
But I've been a thrift store shopper for over 30 years; my success in purchasing these premises was the biggest factor in being able to create the cozy cottage style that I like in my home. Now maybe I've been lucky, but I've never encountered any of the dangers listed in these articles. For example –
I have never brought home bed bugs, mold or other pests.
I've never gotten lead poisoning from eating vintage dinnerware, going through an architectural salvage, or using old hardware.
I've never found my body suddenly out of alignment from wearing used shoes.
My secret weapon? common sense I don't just grab, I inspect the items very closely. If the shoes are obviously deformed from someone else's feet, I won't buy them. If the non-stick coating comes off the pan, I won't buy it. If a piece of furniture has a funky smell or damage that looks like it was caused by pests, I don't buy it.
So, since I've never had a problem buying used items, my list of "what you should never buy at a thrift store" is pretty short. Here it is:
Underwear/swimwear – Because of the body parts that touch it, I always buy these items new. Including bras.
mattresses – Even if there are no bed bugs, there is still "other people's dirt" (OPG) such as body dirt, dead skin, hair oil, etc. I'd rather start over with the mattresses and add my own junk.
Bed pillows – See OPG above. I'm talking specifically about the pillow you rest your head on here. If I found a large throw pillow or other decorative pillow at a thrift store, I wouldn't have the same hesitation. I buy throw pillows for my couch at thrift stores all the time.
"Expired", damaged or old safety equipment – Bicycle and motorcycle helmets and child car seats contain energy-absorbing foam that is considered "spent" if it gets too old or absorbs an impact. So with no way of knowing if the protective foam is any good on these items, I would always buy new. And I didn't know it until recently, but apparently car seats actually have expiration dates due to possible deterioration of interior materials.
Vintage cribs – Drop-down cribs and those with slats more than 2-3/8 inches apart pose a risk of suffocation, entrapment and other hazards to the baby.
These are the items I don't buy at thrift stores. As for the items I buy, the practice of carefully inspecting them before purchase has helped me avoid virtually all of the potential dangers of thrift store shopping. It also has the added benefit of ensuring you don't spend even a small amount of money on something that's dirty, broken or damaged; it's not a bargain if it can't be used.

AS SOON AS she laid eyes on the broad-shouldered man who had just stepped through the door of the crowded wine bar Magenta knew that he was the father of her child.
She didn't suspect, or wonder, or even hope. She simply knew.
The laid-back, long-haired college graduate who, like her, was helping out part-time behind the bar until something better came along, was frowning as he came away from the cash register.
She shook her head. Not in answer, but in an attempt to make some sense of the jumble of distant memories that were leaping chaotically through her brain.
Someone spoke to her, trying to give her an order, and she looked up at them with her velvety-brown eyes dazed and her fine features ashen against the darker sheen of her thick swept-up hair.
Grabbing the cracked and solitary basin, she struggled to regain her composure, her lungs dragging in air.
Andreas Visconti. Of course. How could she ever have let anyone persuade her into believing that her child might have been fathered by anyone else when she'd known in her heart that she wasn't the type of woman to sleep around, even during those lost and irretrievable months of her life?
She felt sick and stayed where she was, leaning over the basin, until the nausea subsided, trying to sort out the tangle of erratic thoughts and images in her mind.
The doctors had told her not to try and force things, and as the years had passed they had said that the memories she had lost might never come back. But they were going to. Even if they were appearing like the distorted shapes of a jigsaw puzzle she was going to have to piece together. Either way, right now, she thought, hearing the outer door open and one of the regular bar staff urgently calling to her, she had to go back out there and face the music. Even if she didn't know—or like—the tune that might be playing.
who was filling glasses further along the bar.
She was slim, beautiful and flawlessly photogenic, with her magnificent hair pinned up to emphasise high cheekbones, stunning dark eyes and a lovely mouth above that long, elegant neck. The vision of her held Andreas in thrall. As if he was seeing a ghost. Or hallucinating. Both of which were pretty unlikely, he thought wryly, for a hardened cynic like himself.
Then someone called her name and he realised that he wasn't imagining things. It really was her. Magenta James. The girl to whom he had once almost sacrificed his heart—and the whole of his life.
She was looking over her shoulder, listening to something a much older man, whom he guessed was the landlord, was saying, and cruel memory made a hard slash of Andreas's mouth as he caught her tight and rather strained-sounding little laugh.
The last time he had heard that sound was when she had ridiculed his lack of prospects, flaying him with accusations of trying to hold her back from the glittering career she intended to pursue. And now here was Miss High-and-Mighty James pouring drinks in a West Country wine bar! He was, he decided grimly, going to enjoy the next few minutes!

Two wind surfing spots in Samos island.
The well known surfing spot in Kokkari (northern wind) attracts people from all over the world. The wind here is ideal, that's why there are two centers, the one at the left side of the big coast and the other just 1km away from the village, on your way to Tsamadou and Karlovassi.
The other spot is in Pythagorio (southern wind), on the left side of the beach, in front of Doryssa Seaside Resort.


HOUSTON—April 10, 2018—RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) today announced total and same-store sales for its Nightclubs and Bombshells restaurant segments for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018. The company plans to report complete 2Q18 results on May 10, 2018.
Eric Langan, President and CEO, commented: "Fiscal 2018 sales have continued to do well with record second quarter club and restaurant sales and strong same-store sales, in line with the positive year over year trends we've been seeing."
"Sales improved across the board in 2Q18. Nightclubs increased 18.5% in total sales and 5.1% on a same-store basis, while Bombshells grew 28.0% in total sales and 2.7% on a same-store basis. New units added $5.4 million in sales, primarily due to Scarlett's Cabaret Miami, which we acquired in 3Q17, and the second full quarter of Bombshells Restaurant & Bar on Highway 290 in Houston."
"January was good despite tough weather in some markets. February benefitted from traffic in multiple markets created by the pro football championship. March was our strongest month in the quarter for both segments, in particular, our Bombshells sports bars in Texas, which were driven by the continued success of the Houston Rockets and major college basketball tournaments."
"During 2Q18, the status of two small clubs changed. We decided to close Club Onyx Dallas after numerous attempts to improve results. We are now actively marketing the property. We also closed Hollywood Hunt Club and are now renting out the property."
"To sum up, our existing portfolio of clubs and restaurants are doing well. On top of this, we have the imminent opening of our newest Bombshells in the fast growing Houston suburb of Pearland, and three more Bombshells in various stages of development in the Greater Houston market. In addition, we have renewed our discussions with prospective club acquisition targets."
Nightclubs and Bombshells segment sales do not include sales from non-core operations.
Sales numbers are preliminary and subject to final closing.

… Now, what to do? And that too through the noble Gandhian Way! In my opinion, and in the opinion of many others, especially Gandhian scholars, the idea of Trusteeship can be helpful to deal with this situation. Trusteeship based on nonviolence is an essential part of the economic setup suggested by Mahatma Gandhi and is worth giving a thought in this regard. In Trusteeship, Mahatma Gandhi's economic management is fully associated with ethics and morality. In it those who own money are expected to behave like the Trustees holding their riches on behalf of the poor, and in which the labor-owner relationship is like two partners working for the public good.
This very idea could be the guideline for those who are in the public arena, who serve the people, society, and the nation, and who are in fact the custodians of national life. It is based on high morality and morality is a Dharma, a duty, beyond that law that has only legal sanction or legitimacy. But like Ahimsa it is also a plant of slow growth; it demands high courage and awakening from the inside. Therefore, it may seem impractical or the application of it may seem ineffective as far as the matter of improvement in public life is concerned. Even so, without any doubt from a Gandhian perspective it is important and adaptable.
Moreover, the role of all of us, the people, to establish morality and ethics in public life is most important, as we are the makers of our own kings of democracy. We elect our own representatives. We have all the power in our hands. Therefore, our awakening in the matter is of utmost importance. It is the time we must come forward. We must unite and sacrifice – as sacrifice is a must, especially along Gandhian lines – and with introspection individually and collectively make our [political] body, society, and the nation free of this evil or curse.

Monster Hunter: World
The original Monster Hunter: World is also free in the PS Plus Collection, making it easier than ever to get into Capcom's long-running franchise. World redefined Monster Hunter by smoothing over the edges and making it more accessible in a number of ways, from seamless world design to easier tracking.
There's still plenty of challenge on offer from World's biggest and baddest monsters, though. You'll need to keep up with your gear — with the help of MonHun's adorable Palicoes of course — back at the gorgeous base camp/city if you want a shot at the Elder Dragon causing so much chaos in the world.
Once you've done all that, the fun is only just beginning. Monster Hunter: World Iceborne adds new regions, monsters, and gear plus a series of new events. Even better, Capcom's making these events available again for those who missed them before thanks to a new rotating cycle, so everyone can join in the fun.
