Adrienne C. Moore Talks 'Orange Is The New Black'
Ashley White
Known for her carefree attitude and witty punchlines, Cindy "Black Cindy" Hayes, played by Adrienne C. Moore, is most likely one of your favorite inmates from the original Netflix series, Orange Is The New Black. Whether she's sharing one of her hilarious anecdotes or putting her fellow inmates in check, you can always count on "Cindy" to bring the comic relief to any scene.
As the binge-watching begins, Adrienne shares that Black Cindy now goes by "Tova" and it's just one of the many changes you'll see this time around. According to the trailer, this season promises to keep viewers on edge as the minimum-security prison welcomes new inmates and addresses various issues within the system including race relations, overcrowding and more.
When Adrienne is not on the set of 'OITNB' or other TV and film projects, you'll find her on stage. As season four of the hit series recently premiered on the popular streaming platform, she's also starring in Taming of The Shrew at Delacorte Theatre in New York.
JET caught up with Adrienne to discuss OITNB's most intense season, how the cast tackles their complex characters and why she loves giving back to aspiring young artists.
JET: What makes season four so intense?
Adrienne: I think when you have caged women and you're making things more crowded, it intensifies everything. It's like a little ripple in the pond and it becomes this great wave. Because there's more [inmates] coming in, there's more conflict when it comes to race, who's in charge and who's not, equality, prisoner's rights and privatization. The heat is turned way up.
JET: OITNB touches on various topics including race, gender, sexuality and more. What's challenging about bringing the script to life?
Adrienne: I think the challenge is always continuing to raise the stakes. The writers and the actors always want to stay current and topical. What I love about this show is that it does as much to entertain you as it does to educate you. You not only get this wonderful plethora of characters, but they're all sending messages in their own different ways about what's going on in our society. That's one of the things I love about our show—it remains so current.
JET: Black Cindy is known for her sense of humor, but last season we saw a more serious side of her as she explored what Judaism meant to her. How do you tap into the different layers of Cindy?
Adrienne: I think it's about tapping into me. There were so many parallels in odd ways. I always had this deep rooted belief that our characters choose us, we don't choose them because I think life imitates art and vice versa. I trust this journey in my own life where I'm unfolding who Adrienne is. I'm interestingly working out a lot of these details through characters, and coincidentally I grew up in the South with a very religious upbringing. In the South, you were at the church pretty much every day of the week because something was always going on so it becomes ingrained in you.
Like Cindy and having that background, I understood there's this fine line between religious dogma and relationship. That's even been a journey finding out my own spirituality and what it really means as Cindy coins it so eloquently in her conversion speech, "Doing God." To me, her learning as I was learning through my own personal journey, it's really just the act of just doing God and not questioning or trying to define it and just do it and live it.
JET: Aside from acting on TV, you have a background in theatre. Can you tell us about Taming of the Shrew?
Adrienne: I'm so happy to talk about Taming of the Shrew! It's an all-female cast with Janet McTeer, Cush Jumbo from The Good Wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and just a slew of just powerhouse, dynamic women. We are tackling Shakespeare and the interesting thing about Taming of the Shrew is the majority of the characters are all men. So the majority of these women are men in this play, and this process of getting Shakespeare under our tongue is no easy task. Then mastering or trying to figure out how to play a man has been a journey itself. We went through this physical and deplorable idea of what we thought men physically walk like and talk like, and then when we got this lesson on the idea men come from a place of, "I belong." Women come from a place of, "Can I come in?" [Women] are always excusing and shrinking themselves so they don't take up space, and men just take up space. With having an all-female cast makes it that much more exciting and powerful to experience.
JET: Speaking of theatre, you also work with the 52nd Street Project Theatre.
Adrienne: I love the 52nd Street Project Theatre! It's an after school program for kids who want to be in the arts. I think it's unfortunate that the schools are taking art out of the programs, but I'm so grateful that organizations like 52nd street Project Theatre exist. [52nd Street Project Theatre] not only provides dance, music, playwriting and costume development and anything involved with the arts, they also provide professionals who are in those specific industries to these students to mentor them and to encourage these students to create their work as well. So it's this wonderful partnership that I am honored to be a part of. I started with them about 4 or 5 years ago and it's an amazing program.
JET: Moving forward from OITNB, what roles are you looking to do and who would you like to work with?
Adrienne: That list is so long. I'm a great fan of Viola Davis. I'm a great fan of Cicely Tyson. I'm a great fan of Meryl Streep. I just feel like I'd say yes to anything because this is a journey. I want to direct and produce, so there are things that I'm hoping to delve into in my career. The possibilities are endless.
Season 4 of Orange Is The New Black is now available on Netflix.

...... The world is changing. Yes it is. Not that it hasn't changed every year since it began - right? Last week I was listening to NPR's Marketplace towards the end of the week. They were talking about the retail landscape out there today and how business is changing for the big chains like Macy's, The Gap, Target, and more. Evidently those stocks had sunk in value that week due to poor sales. The experts were talking about the retail marketplace and the "new" consumer. I am fascinated by business cycles and I really enjoy shows like Marketplace and PBS News. I like to follow business and trends - it has always been a part of what I like to learn and know.
In 2009, I had the brilliant idea to start teaching knitting retreats here at our farm. Here and here are blog posts from the very first year. That was pre-studio space, pre-Farmers Market biz. I had to be nuts inviting strangers into our home but I wanted to offer my teaching from my home base so that I didn't have to leave Julia and Mark and could still bring in some income. And besides, knitters are nice people and my friends helped.
What I didn't realize when I was beginning these classes in 2009 was that I was part of the trend and business cycle. My theory on this now is that people are looking to spend their disposable income more on experiences rather on buying things and that is why these big retailers are having trouble. Oh yeah - and on-line sales - that too. After the financial crisis of 2008 and our so-called recovery, I think people are looking more for learning experiences rather than things. My classes right here at our farm fit right into that zeitgeist.
I've run these classes every year since 2009 with varying degrees of success. Don't get me wrong - the classes are always a success just maybe not financially for me. It takes a very special person - an adventurer and someone not fearful of stepping into the unknown - to sign up and venture to the hinterlands of western Mass. We all have a blast - everyone learns a lot - including me. The really great thing is students that make the trip often come back a second time for another round of classes. I get to share so much more than I ever could pack into a car and bring to a hotel room.
I've always been a little ahead of the curves on trends. I act on instincts and don't do good at going with what everyone else is doing now. I think my "Classes At The Farm" were part of me anticipating a trend. Lots of times I am too early and projects/books fail. If I have failure, I frequently give up and move on to my next great idea. The Class Thing though - here at the farm - I have continued it and this year we are in our 7th year. It still isn't hugely profitable or successful but it fits in with what I enjoy and love - color, creativity, wonderful women who enjoy making and using their hands and stretching their minds. (Seriously, I'm sorry to be so long winded - must be why I never caught on with the 140 character Twitter world).
Now the competition for students is huge! When I started, there was no VKLive, no Interweave Camp, no Squam Retreat. There was however Meg's Knitting Camp - the grandmother of all these knitting events. And places like Snow Farm, Penland School, Fletcher Farm School. How do students pick which retreat to attend? How do they find me? How much $ and time do students have. I guess if you are reading this, you have found me.
All of this to say, I've extended the Early Bird Pricing on the "Getting Stitched on the Farm" 2016 classes until May 31st. So, if you are wanting to come, hop on over to my website. The first class July 16/17 - Color, Fabric Printing + Lampshade Painting only has 2 openings left. A little more space on the other two July 30/31 Color, Fabric Printing and Embroidery and September 24/25 Color, Knitting, Crochet + Embroidery. Learn more on my website here.
And if you can't swing 2 days, there are options for only taking the first Saturday segment of all the classes. Have a question, send it on - kristinnicholas AT gmail DOT com. Hope to see some of you on the farm.
Now that you have gotten to the end - here's a photo of Julia from her night at the Prom. Thank you Aunt Debbie for doing the hair and nails and borrowing of the scarf. She had a great time and danced all night!
Julia looks beautiful. I hope that she had fun at prom.
She is adorable. That smile is the best!
She is so grown up and still beautiful! Thank-you for sharing the photo.
So true about the competition with retreats and camps-- but you offer something special so I hope the right students will find theri way!
Oh and Julia-- so grown up and pretty! Glad she had fun.
She looks beautiful. You have done a great job and she is a lovely young lady.
Julia! You're so grown-up and young womanly!
What adorable photos of Julia!
And, it won't be long now until Julia and the "PUSSYCATS" will likely be running "THE BUSINESS"! -- Those Cats in your Blog-Header pic look like they're already "in charge"!
You've raised a lovely young lady. I know you're proud and you should be!
Julia looks darling! So jealous of that corsage, too.
Julia looks absolutely beautiful & SO happy!
Julia looks lovely. I'm so glad she had a good time.
I don't get out much for fiber events. (Out of state family issues use up most of my traveling budget) but someday...many of my friends do and love them. I find that we do a lot of our shopping online. Living on Cape Cod anything outside of basics or art is harder to find. So much easier to go to Amazon straight away than to drive all over or try to get answers on the phone from overworked clerks.
I do wonder why some retailers are surprised that on line sales are growing and in store shrinking when the stores do not stock a full range of sizes. Who wants to drive to the store only to have to order on line once there?
Wow, Julia is just stunning! What a beautiful family the three of you make. I have loved watching Julia grow up via your blog.
I work in the apparel industry and formerly worked for Kohls corporate office. I'm interested to see where the changes in consumer preferences take the industry... And my career!
One day I will be venturing to the farm for one of your classes. This year I am attending Camp Workroom Social in October. Easy to get from North Carolina to NYC (direct flight, no car rental).
Love the group effort for Julia; so much nicer than impersonal salons and overspending! She looks lovely!
What a lovely sight! Julia looks absolutely beautiful! And a proud good looking daddy there too! Thanks for posting this.


These are awesome and so are you!
Gracebooking turns me off to FB.
Thanks for education, now I need to figure out what a "duck face" is.
Oh these are fantastic! I have been having Chicktionary withdrawals...I really needed this post! Especially love pinhole and wi-gration.
So so funny. Not that I'm surprised.
There is no other logical person to ask for this. This, smart to do, People Style Watch. Watch Anna Lefler's style. Very closely, People.
*my favorite is unreal estate. CLEVER.
Pinhole is my favorite. I'm going to use it as my latest rationale for why I never visit my Pinterest account. "Some Pinhole is badgering me there, man."
Good on you getting such great placement!
These are all hilarious. But my two favorites are Unreal Estate and Wi-gration!
I have a feeling that Blingosaurus is about to become a new word in the Blithe family lexicon.
How did I miss this? I like People! The magazine, not humans, to be clear.
You're so good at that stuff.
Yeah. My ex-roommate totally stole my pants, too.
Hilarious as usual! I take it you must be coming out with a second book. These are too good not to put in a nicely bound little chunk of paperback love.
now i really want your book!
These are awesome. Seriously awesome. Pinhole, gracebooking (gracebooking makes me slightly crazy), wi-gration...you are one clever, funny woman. I love, love this list.
Congrats on the magazine! How fabulous is that?!
You're welcome. (I'm the editor from People Style Watch.) Anydoodle, if you like comedy, maybe you'd like to check out our great new comedy podcast Space Robots. We're three southern nerds of note who sit down each week to talk about UFO sightings, bigfeets, all kinds of mysterious sh*t. It's great!
Unreal estate is my fave. And I loved seeing "you" in People mag, my brain candy of choice!
Sorry, I wasn't really paying attention. I was just Keyboreding.

Lollapalooza eyes expansion to Toronto in 2015
on July 08, 2014, 4:20pm
Over the years, Lollapalooza has expanded beyond its long-time home in Chicago, launching several offshoot music festivals in South America. (The festival also previously announced a festival in Israel, but those plans were ultimately scrapped.) Now, it looks like organizers are setting their sights north with talks of a new festival in the city of Toronto.
In a recent interview with Consequence of Sound, Toronto Urban Roots Festival head organizer Jeff Cohen revealed plans of Lollapalooza's impending Toronto invasion while discussing the future of his own festival:
"Lollapoloza is surely coming to Toronto next August 2015, and it'll be very interesting to see how that changes the summer landscape in our great city," Cohen explained. "Honestly, we've never played by the industry sets of rules with regard to how things work in our venues, etc … being able to book a festival and at the same time also book some into our clubs is just an organic progression. But yes, we are absolutely self-sufficient in terms of how we do business and fiercely independent of the big players like C3, AEG, and Live Nation."
In a follow-up interview with CoS, Cohen further confirmed rumors of a Lollapalooza Toronto, adding that it could take place the second week of August.
Reached for comment, Lollapalooza organizers C3 Presents said "nothing is confirmed," but failed to address whether the festival is in fact considering the possibility.
The move makes sense. In addition to Toronto Urban Roots, North by North East, and an offshoot of Riot Fest, Toronto has attracted a number of festivals to its area as of late. However, it's lacked a major mainstream music festival since the dissolution of Virgin Mobile Festival in 2009.
If Lollapalooza were to stage a festival in Toronto the second week of August, it would face stiff competition from neighboring Osheaga Music Festival, which typically takes place the first week of August in Montreal. What's more, it would be in direct conflict with San Francisco's Outside Lands, which traditionally takes place the second weekend in August.
This is a developing story

Let's talk polka dots!!! What's better than black and white polka dots? Nothing!!! Ha ha!
I found this adorable polka dot shirt dress at Zirze Boutique in Vilnius, Lithuania while I was on vacation a few weeks ago. It was just right for me and I knew it the moment I laid eyes on it. Not too long, not too short, light, airy and it can easily help my wardrobe transition to fall. All wins for me!
For some fun pops of color I paired a red-orange fold over cross body bag and red-orange Vince Camuto shoes. Not to forget red-orange lip color. I'm usually not so match-matchy but this just felt right. Leave me a comment about your favorite pop of color, enjoy!


Police made a second arrest late last week in the assault on two transgender women earlier last month, GA Voice reports.
Frederick Missick was arrested Friday, a day after the arrest of Luther Thomas in the same case, with both Atlanta residents being held on $2,500 bail and charged with disorderly conduct, according to Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority police.
MARTA spokesman Lyle Harris told GA Voice that more serious charges could not be pressed because the authorities were not getting any help from the two victims.
"The simple answer is we don't have cooperating victims to file more serious assault charges and this is the best we can do, at least right now," Harris said. In the meantime, the two men are being held at the Fulton County Jail, and have been suspended from MARTA.
The alleged incident began on May 20 about 11 p.m. Cellphone footage showed men verbally harassing the transgender women about their identities and taking pictures of them on their cellphones, Raw Story reports.
"They were trying to find out if we are men or women," Tyra Woods, Crosby's friend and the other victim, told the GA Voice.
"I shouldn't have to disclose who I am to an innocent person who I'm not even interested in talking to," continued Woods, who was reportedly stripped naked during the altercation.
According to a police report viewed by the GA Voice, no other passengers tried to intervene or stop the incident, instead recording the incident with cellphones and cheering.
Crosby allegedly tried to report the attack, which involved kicking and punching, to a MARTA officer but was allegedly ignored—an accusation MARTA denies.
Crosby has since decided to move back to New York, where she has relatives, and Woods is heading to Cleveland to stay with her family.

Fredriksdals herrgård i Helsingborgs socken i Helsingborgs kommun uppfördes 1787 som sommarbostad åt familjen Cöster. Det är en vitputsad byggnad i gustaviansk stil. Runt byggnaderna är det anlagt en fransk park och en engelsk park. Fredriksdal är ingen herrgård i ordets rätta bemärkelse eftersom byggnaden uppfördes av en borgerlig familj, inte av adeln. Det var först i slutet av 1800-talet som ordet herrgård började användas som benämning på huvudbyggnaden, en benämning som kom att användas allt mer sedan området blivit museum.

Historia

I familjen Cösters ägo
Riksdagsmannen och direktören för Södra dykeri- och bärgningskompaniet, Fredrik Wilhelm Cöster d.ä., köpte under 1760-talet ett stort antal jordar öster om Helsingborgs utkanter. Huvudbyggnaden uppförde Cöster 1787 för att utnyttjas som bostad under sommaren. Under resten av året bodde familjen i Gamlegård i centrala Helsingborg. Fram till sin död 1797 utökade Cöster gårdens marker ytterligare genom att köpa upp fler jordar öster om staden. Vid sin död 1797 överlät Cöster gården till sin son, Fredrik Wilhelm Cöster d.y.

Vid övertagandet gjordes en inventering av egendomen och genom denna får man en beskrivning av hur gården såg ut vid denna tid. Huvudbyggnaden beskrevs som en tvåvåningsbyggnad uppförd i korsvirke med fasaderna klädda av panel av stående "spåntade och hyflade furubrädor samt fogarna försedda med lister", allt målat med oljefärg. Vid takfoten hade beklädnaden avslutats uppåt med ett profilerat listverk, en så kallad "träd corniche". I byggnadens nedre våning inrymdes en stor, central placerad sal mot trädgården. Söder om denna låg ett förmak följt av "den röda sittkammaren" vid gaveln ut mot gården. Norr om salen låg fruns sovkammare ut mot trädgården medan kök och pigkammare låg mot gården. Ovanvåningen hade samma indelning som den undre med en central sal med förmak och kammare i söder och herrns sängkammare med två rum för betjänter mot gården i norr. Vinden var inredd med två kammare i vardera gavel. Genom hela byggnaden, med riktning mot gården, löpte husets förstuga och trapphus utsmyckad med marmorerade väggar. Denna utformning av huvudbyggnaden var typisk för 1600- och 1700-talets herrgårdsbyggnader.

Fredrik Wilhelm Cöster d.y. valde som nygift 1799 att göra Fredriksdal till sin permanenta bostad, vilket gjorde att byggnaden var tvungen att byggas om för att klara vintern. 1800 gjordes ännu en inventering där det beskrevs att byggnaden hade fyra "stockholmspottugnar med mässingsdörrar" och tre "ordinarie pottugnar med järndörrar". Fem av byggnadens rum hade gipstak, de övriga hade oljefärgsmålat brädtak. Vissa av rummen hade bröstpaneler med vävklädda väggar ovanför, medan salen och ytterligare sju rum hade moderna papperstapeter. Den yngre Cöster lade även till två flyglar till huvudbyggnaden. Den norra uppfördes 1798 för att hysa gårdens tjänstefolk och innehöll även kök med bakugn och tvättstuga. Den södra flygeln byggdes 1807 som gästbostad och var därför finare inredd än den norra. Flyglarna målades i vitt, men hade rödmålade brädgavlar.

Skiftande ägare under 1800-talet

År 1811 sålde Cöster gården till borgmästaren Anders Petter Ståhle, som ägde gården fram till sin död 1832. Under dennes tid byggdes huvudbyggnadens södra del om, troligen på grund av vattensjuk mark. Den nya delen uppfördes i tegel och samtidigt tog man bort brädpanelen och vitputsade hela byggnaden. År 1822 målades även denna vit. I och med de många ombyggnaderna hade gården gått från en gustaviansk gård till ett landeri i empirstil. I Ståhles ägo omvandlades Fredriksdal och dess ägor till ett storjordbruk. Våren 1835 köptes gården från Ståhles sterbhus av den finske kammarherren Carl Henrik von Knorring, då hans hustru Eva Charlotte von Knorring önskade bosätta sig i Helsingborg för att vara närmre sin syster, Marie Sophie Barck som var bosatt i Skåne med sin make, greve Nils Anton Barck. Under von Knorrings tid som ägare förstärktes gårdens empirstil ytterligare, då trädgårdsfasadens mittparti på 1840-talet byggdes om till en frontespis med en över taklisten upphöjd fronton och pilasterutsmyckning.

Paret von Knorring sålde Fredriksdal 1847 till den danske proprietären Peter Munck Hagen som ägde gården fram till 1855 då den såldes till brukspatron Johan Anders Lindgren. Denne ägde gården fram till 1867, varefter lantmannen Börge Peter Pontoppidan köpte gården och flyttade in med sin hustru Maja Marie Christensen, dotter till köpmannen Anton Julius Christensen (tidigare krögare på Hotell Mollberg). Under parets 20 år som ägare föddes alla deras åtta barn på gården. Gården kom åter i familjen Ståhles ägo 1888 då ryttmästare Anders Petter Ståhle, som tidigare arrenderat gården, köpte den från paret Pontoppidan. Någon gång under Pontoppidans eller Ståhles ägandeskap täcktes verandan i väster in med väggar och blev istället mer av ett uterum. På vardera sida om denna anlades två nya verandor. Under denna period tillkom även en gång mellan huvudbyggnaden och norra flygeln.

Egendomen under Oscar och Gisela Trapps tid
I slutet av 1800-talet köptes herrgården av konsul Oscar Trapp och familjen Ståhle flyttade till Villa Tågaborg i norra Helsingborg. Trapp började sälja av välbehövliga tomter för den snabbt expanderande stadsbebyggelsen, först ut var en tomt längs Ängelholmsvägen, som såldes 1896. År 1898 bildade Trapp Fredriksdahls AB, ett fastighetsbolag dit han överflyttade landeriet för att lättare kunna sälja av tomter. Totalt lades 22 kvarter ut i vad som nu är området mellan Dragaregatan, Ängelholmsvägen, Lägervägen och friluftsteatern, men försäljningen gick dock något långsamt.

Trapp gifte sig 1902 med den 26 år yngre konstnären Gisela Henckel. Paret genomförde en del förändringar i huvudbyggnaden, varav den största var att verandan åt väster utvidgades och vinterbonades. En takterrass anlades på fontespisen, som i och med detta kompletterades en ballustrad i samma stil som balkongen över verandan. Takterrassen nåddes av ett mindre trapptorn krönt av en flaggstång. I övrigt ändrades rumsindelningen och bland annat i det bibliotek som inretts på bottenvåningen målade Gisela Trapp en väggmålning av legenden om Sankt Göran och draken där Sankt Göran-figuren bär en sköld med Oscar Trapps vapen. Till höger om motivet stod texten "Loffvet warde Jomfru Maria och hennes welsignede Son iagh wet eder en wisa att queda allt om then ridder S:t Örjan".

I Helsingborgs stads ägo
Oscar Trapp avled 1916 och Fredriksdal övertogs av Gisela, som 1918 donerade Gisela Trapp herrgården och dess omkringliggande marker till Helsingborgs stad, med villkoret att ytan skulle användas som friluftsmuseum och botanisk trädgård. Hon fortsatte dock att periodvis bo i herrgården fram till 1939, varefter hon flyttade till Arild. Hon fortsatta dock att ha dispositionsrätt till byggnaderna, vilket hon hade fram till sin död 1958. I gåvobrevet önskade Gisela Trapp att det skogsområde i väster som avskiljde gården från Helsingborgs dåvarande stadsbebyggelse skulle bevaras och stipulerade även att industrier och annan bullrig verksamhet inte skulle anläggas för nära herrgården. Efter donationen beslutade Helsingborgs stad ändock att en liten del av markerna som styckats av till tomter, det område som nu ligger mellan Ängelholmsvägen och parken, skulle upplåtas till industrimark.

Friluftsmuseet anläggs
En utredning hade föreslagit att man skulle flytta museets verksamhet från Södra Storgatan till Fredriksdal, och 1921 utlyste man en tävling om "tvenne begränsade områden inom Fredriksdahls egendom", för att få in förslag om utformning av parken. Det ena området var tänkt att utnyttjas som trädgårdsstad, medan resten skulle bli friluftsmuseets område. Man planerade att museets verksamhet skulle inrymmas i ett antal större byggnader stadens för kultur- och naturhistoriska samlingar, men även för konst. Programmet till tävlingen utformades av museiintendenten Torsten Mårtensson och beskrev detaljerat hur man hade tänkt sig vad museet skulle skildra, till exempel herrgårdsmiljö, stadskvarter, samt skogs- och jordbrukslandskap med ditflyttade allmogebyggnader. Flera pampiga förslag till museibyggnader lades fram, många av dem i monumental nyklassicistisk stil, till exempel Ture Rydbergs vinnande förslag Forse che si, Forse che no. Inget av dessa förslag kom dock att förverkligas, då Fredriksdal skapades utan den stora museibyggnaden, men resten av friluftsmuseet tog form och kunde invigas 1923. Den botaniska trädgården anlades senare under 1930-talet.

Kulturhistoriskt skydd
Fredriksdals herrgård är varken klassad som byggnadsminne eller skyddad genom något bevarandeprogram från Helsingborgs stad. Däremot ingår herrgården i fastigheten Filborna 29:1, som i sin detaljplan är Q-märkt, vilken innebär att bebyggelsen är skyddad enligt 8 kapitlet, paragraferna 13 och 14 i Plan- och bygglagen som särskilt värdefull från historisk, kulturhistorisk, miljömässig eller konstnärlig synpunkt och inte får förvanskas. Byggnaden skall också hållas i vårdat skick och underhållas på ett sätt anpassat till omgivningens karaktär. Trots att herrgården har genomgått flera förändringar genom tiderna och har få bevarade äldre materiella spår värderas herrgården av landsantikvarien i Skåne att uppnå högsta kulturhistoriska värde, i klass med byggnadsminne.

Home World Americas Kittyhawk: Where Flight Happens (Even In Controlled Airspace)
Kittyhawk: Where Flight Happens (Even In Controlled Airspace)
Now Offering LAANC as an FAA-Approved UAS Service Supplier
For months and months, our customers have been hounding us about LAANC, including customers that recently became investors. While listening to ideas and feature requests, we were heads down building and coding (aside from the occasional trip to DC to meet with the FAA :). Today we're excited to announce that native LAANC authorizations are live available in the Kittyhawk platform, opening up more than 30,000 square miles of controlled airspace for drone flights.
As you might expect from us, we've rethought LAANC from the ground up. For both our enterprise customers and extensive community of commercial 107 operators, a LAANC authorization is more than about speed. Without context to your flights, your fleet, and your operations, the value of a LAANC authorization is lost. We're making LAANC authorizations actionable, enforceable, and visible across your organization in real-time.
Within our new LAANC UI, you'll experience new designs with a quick yet compliant flow to apply for LAANC. When creating your flight plan, you'll experience brand new Kittyhawk maps with data sources pulled directly from FAA-approved sources. Don't be surprised if you can't help but smile as you go through the flow.
After you've applied for LAANC, you'll have had a complete and detailed record of both past and pending authorizations with easy access to your FAA reference code. We've designed an intuitive timeline so that you can see the history and state changes of a request. We've built screens so that you can view the flight plan, compliance details, as well associated airports and airspace. Basically all of the detailed history and reporting that you've come to love from Kittyhawk.
As the skies open for Kittyhawk and our customers, we took some time to think about the the platform we've built, the role we're playing in moving the industry forward, and ultimately what Kittyhawk stands for — both in the present and for the decades to come. Without belaboring team off sites and design sprints, we can sum it up in three words:
Where Flight Happens™
The problem for most commercial drone programs is that flight is happening everywhere for them. Multiple tools and technologies, each with their own security policies, contracts and data sources. We want to become the single source of record for commercial drone flight. One place to do everything from flight-to-flight operations, so drones can become more like other tools in the workplace. They're safe to use, the data moves where it needs to, and ROI is clear and sustainable.
Over the past few months, we've had some very exciting and transformational developments. We closed a round of funding with some awesome new investors, including Boeing HorizonX, followed by an investment from Travelers Insurance. We've been hiring like mad, and our team is growing across the board (PS, we're hiring :). Though perhaps no bigger moment happened for our team, the company, and our customers than becoming an FAA-Approved UAS Service Supplier.
The skies are opening for all of us, and it was with this energy that we wanted to evolve the Kittyhawk brand. We're changing on the inside, and our public face should fit with where we're going. We love (present tense) the Kittyhawk "K", but Kittyhawk embodies more than a letter. When we started the company, it was important to us to give a nod to where flight began. With the launch of LAANC, we're releasing a new look, new colors, and a new mark for the company.
Different people will see and feel different things from our logo. In my mind, we've found a four-dimensional representation of flight. A modern day version of the infinity symbol, with ties to a Celtic knot. Inherent in this mark is transportation, flight routes, traffic, directions, and a virtual bridge. Plus, if you look hard enough, you can still find a "K"… Oh, and a new green. Check it all out at https://kittyhawk.io

Greg Burridge
Pukka Elbow
Greg Burridge was more than one half of Team SHAG (with Colt Cabana). He was, and still is, a British wrestling institution. His Openweight title reign in 1PW saw him face the likes of PAC, Doug Williams and Zebra Kid, but it's his Iron Man draw against the incomparable Nigel McGuinness that, arguably, elevated him from a 1PW champion to a 1PW legend.
Since his days in 1PW, Burridge has continued to be a fixture in British wrestling, a much-respected trainer of the likes of Will Ospreay and has even taken his talents to the big screen in British films such as London Rampage.,

Recently I decided to reboot a game I was play testing. It was actually a pretty well received game, but as I've said before you have to make a game you like. I decided this game was a bit too euro for my tastes, and the theme begged to be more lightweight than the mechanics allowed. A lot of my play testers were shocked when I dropped the old design, but I stand behind my conviction about the game you design having to really appeal to you.
I say this because the new game, with zero rules in common with the old, does share the same theme and story as the old one. It also uses some mechanics I've been dying to put into a game for some time now, so I'm really pleased with the design. The tricky thing is I purposely left the mechanics a bit on the spartan side. I'll talk about this more in a future article, but generally speaking I prefer to design a game with fewer mechanics up front, and make it "deeper" as I play test. With this game I knew I'd likely need to add something to help push the story of the game along, but the mechanics were so unique I just wanted to confirm the game had potential before fleshing out the rest.
Meanwhile, I'm talking with a friend of mine who hasn't done a design, yet, but he likes to muse about game designs that would appeal to him. In his game each player controlled a team of goblins piloting a steam powered mech, badly, trying to beat each other up. He spelled out a decent overview of the rules, and mechanics without going too deep for a pitch to me in an email. His final sentence in the pitch was "and if a goblin team can get the pig into the other player's goal they win." At no point previously did he even mention the pig. He didn't have to. I instantly knew what he was going for, and I realized something. My game needs a pig.
As an homage to the idea I even named the mechanic in my new game "the pig." Ultimately, I dropped that mechanic, but I was still worked to find the right pig. That is to say every game needs a pig, not just any pig, but the pig that will make it stand out, and move the story of the game forward, create that unique decision, or take the whole experience to a new level. It doesn't have to be the most creative pig, but it's nice when it is, but it does have to be elegant, and promote one of those core ideals of game design.
Just in case I'm not being clear about what "the pig" might be I'll list a few well known recent games, and their pigs.
Mice and Mystics – The Cheese Wheel.
Forbidden Island – Water rises cards.
Prophecies: In the Shadow of the Titan – Tribute dice.
Of course not every game has an easily described pig. Look at Sentinels of the Multiverse. It's an incredible game loved by gamers of all types, but I personally am at a lose to describe its pig.
The first time this game has hit the table!
OK, I'm going to tell you a secret. It's a terrible secret. I've been lying to you. Well, I've been lying to you if you're one of my play testers.
So yeah, maybe if you're one of my play testers you should look away now.
When I say "this is the first time the game has hit the table." I'm just being dishonest. (I got tired of the word lying.) The truth is, as many game designers will tell you, the game has hit the table plenty of times before you've ever seen it, or possibly even heard of it. The process I'm about to describe isn't a revolution in design, and each designer will have his own spin on it, but it's a critical step in the game design process, and one that I've seen some designer skip.
I can't stress this enough. Do not skip these steps, or the steps like them when designing a game.
The first step is to play the game in your head before you even finish writing your initial notes about it. Walk through the rules in your head, as best you can, and play out a turn from top to bottom. Focus on each detail of the process, and what the player will be doing on his turn. Imagine the mechanics at first, and then later when you run things through your head, after you've written down the rules, imagine his experience. Is he making a choice that is interesting? Or is the game just sort of playing itself? Are there steps that are slowing him down, getting in the way, confusing to describe? Find those weak points in the player's experience, tweak the rules, and replay them in your head again.
That first step hasn't made me dishonest just yet. The game doesn't even have pieces at this stage.
At some point after you've done this you're on to actually prototyping some pieces. My advice is to have as few pieces made as needed to play a quick version of the game. There are tons of guides out there on prototyping, and I'll talk about it more in greater detail in later articles. The thing to remember now is make the prototype as quickly as you can justify making it. Cut all corners you can cut while still making a playable prototype. That is to say if you can play a sample round or two with 20 cards, don't make 50. You might find that the game needs heavy tweaking after you test it, and you've just wasted a lot of time, and energy if you made more than you need.
Once you have the prototype ready setup the game where you are the only player. This means you are taking on the function of player 1, player 2, and maybe 3 and 4 depending on the game's requirements. Now start playing rounds of the game. This is easier said than done depending on the game's nature, and mechanics. A hidden Identity game will be very tricky to test in this way, but with a bit of effort you can still get a sense of play by yourself. Meanwhile with a game like Addictive Alchemy it's really easy to test all of the roles as one person. You can't account for individual behavior by yourself, but you can see a lot. Whatever the game type is test as much of it as you can by yourself with actual pieces before putting in front of other people. Like I said before I've seen designers bring games to people, and they haven't tested things, and it's rarely pretty.
OK, that was it. That's how I've been lying to you. I have a good reason though. I don't want you to suffer with a game that might not even work right from the first round. I need it to be something that has a chance of functioning correctly when I've asked you to give your time to test it. I need it to be something that won't waste either of our time.
So the next time I tell you this lie, just look the other way, and pretend like you don't know, because really it's the first time that it has hit the table and mattered.
I love cooperative games. It's just a lot of fun to work together with your friends, and see if you can beat the board game. You either all win together, or you all lose together. Usually when you lose it's dramatic, and you still had a great time. In concept it's the perfect game for someone like myself, and everyone I game with tends to love them as well. However, that doesn't mean there aren't a few people who don't like co-op games.
One thing I try to do with most people I game with is find out what kind of games they enjoy, and why. I think it's a great way to help build community, and to make sure that people are pairing into groups that will help everyone get the most out of their time at the table. So when I hear someone say "I don't like co-op games." It really catches my attention, and I endeavour to find out why. Time, and time again I hear the same complaint from those people. I can't blame them because it's a pretty common, and big flaw that pops up in a lot of co-op games.
Let me tell you a story. This involves one of my favorite co-op games, actually one of my favorite games period. I sat down to play Flashpoint: Fire Rescue with a person who I sort of knew at a local game shop. I hadn't played the game before, but he gave me a quick introduction, picked the Fire Chief, and started his turn. For those of you who haven't played Flashpoint before the Fire Chief is best played when he gives up, most if not all, of his actions to move other players. I mention this key point because the gentleman I was playing with always used the minimum number of required actions to share each turn. In retrospect I can say, maybe he knew the rules, but not the strategy of the game, OK it's a rough start, but moving on. After that he rolled his dice to "spread evil" (in this case fire.), and it was my turn. I moved my fireman around the board, did my thing, went to reach for the dice, and he grabbed them, rolled them, and I found that for the next half hour I was basically watching him play the game.
This is a too common experience in co-operative games, and it can be a real turn off if you get that one person at the table with a really strong personality because they'll start playing for everyone else. Myself, I've learned to try to politely rein these people in, but in the process I have to be careful to not become them.
If this has been their experience, then it's understandable why some people don't enjoy co-ops.
The good news is I have a list, took me long enough to get to the list, that might just help you avoid these kinds of situations. Keep in mind the Fun ranking is my personal enjoyment level, and the Co-op ranking is how well the game does at stopping other players from running your turn.
Agents of SMERSH is a fun cold war James Bond style spy game that is almost a choose your own adventure book put into board game form. The goal of the game is to defeat the Bond like villain with your friends, while reading fun encounter descriptions from the novel length book that comes with the game. It's challenging, but not too challenging, and it makes this list because even though a strong personality can try to drive for you, there are enough choices you make on your turn that they can't interfere with that you're still mostly safe from their influence.
At some point in the past, possibly recently (I'll remain vague), I was sitting near a table of people play testing a game. I have no idea whose game it was, because I wasn't looking at them, or even what game it was. Whoever these brave play testers were they had just finished the game. As is fairly common in play tests the designer was there to watch, or even play along with the others. It was fairly quiet, so I couldn't help but overhear the feedback session. It was a lot like many feedback sessions I've heard.
Play tester 1: The game was too [something mumbled].
Play tester 2: Yeah, too [that thing again].
Game designer: Oh well, I don't think [that thing] because [some reason].
Play tester 1: It really does need to be less [that thing].
Game designer: But when you look at [who cares], then it's not really too [that thing].
Play tester 3: Can you do [some idea] to make it less [that thing]?
Game designer: [That thing] shouldn't be a problem for people who play games.
First I want to say to Game designer. I hear you. Players just love to not get your game. I mean you've thought through every detail, did the math, and probably even did some trial runs in your head before you ever started building pieces. Not only that you've played it with other people who played the way you wanted them to. These play testers who have concerns are clearly missing the point. Let them know what they're not seeing. Right?


Personal Trainer Salary - How Much Can Instructors Make?
As one of the fastest-growing industries – and arguably one of the healthiest career choices you can make – personal training and fitness instruction has become one of the most sought-after occupations of the modern-age.
With career building potential, flexibility, and opportunity to grow your business the way you want, it seems that the personal training industry has endless benefits.
But, how lucrative is the personal training industry? What does a personal trainer salary look like?
If you're hoping to build a personal training business but aren't certain that it's the right financial choice for your career, we're here to provide you with the answers you need to make an informed choice for yourself.
Check out what we have to say below to get a better idea of just how much personal trainers can make, and what kind of options might be available for you!
While there are dozens of different options when it comes to working as a personal trainer. We're going to take our time and focus on the two primary – and very broad – categories that most personal trainers typically find themselves choosing between.
Generally, personal trainers and fitness industry experts often are forced to make the choice between working as an independent contractor – equipped with freedom and the ability to creatively form a place for themselves within the fitness realm – and an employee – which allows them a steady supply of clientele and usually an hourly or salary wage.
Each of these categories have their pros and cons, and it's likely that one or the other will best benefit you and the personal training business you hope to build.
And of course, each will offer you different opportunities to make money – but which will work best for you?
Typically, personal trainers can expect to make an average of $25 per hour, or rather, just over $52,000 annually as full-time trainers; however, you can expect this number to fluctuate depending on the personal training opportunities you intend to embrace.
Which of these pathways can offer you the most financial security as well as bring the most to your personal training career?
Read on as we discuss just how much you can make, and how you can benefit, from working in these personal training realms.
As an independent contractor, you're a professional with the freedom and flexibility to build your business exactly the way you want to.
You can set your own hours, control your business associations through your choice of networking, market the way you want to, and can craft a schedule and client base that makes the most sense for you.
But how does this work out financially?
As an independent contractor, you're not obligated to follow a certain price point and you don't need to rely solely on a salary coming from the corporation or organization you work for.
That means, ideally, you can set prices for your services that make the most sense for you.
This also means you'll need to work (likely) twice as hard to bring in clients, market yourself, and build a client base.
According to the Exercise Science Guide, it's possible for self-employed personal trainers --- or independent contractors – to earn as much as $140,000 annually.
This number, however, fluctuates based on your clientele, your hours, your fitness repertoire, what kind of certifications you hold, and what type of degree you might have.
Essentially, the amount of money you can make is going to build down to your work ethic, your area, your expertise, and the number of clients you're able to take on and train.
Personal trainers can make anywhere from $25 hourly to about $75 hourly, depending on the demand, expertise, and commitment they're able to offer.
This option, however, is going to cost you in areas that working as an employee for a corporation or organization wouldn't.
You'll need to provide your own insurance, liability coverage, work space area, resources, supplies, and, if you choose to expand your business, salary for your own employees.
As a personal training employee, you're afforded the benefits of steady clientele, steady salary, health insurance, and the ability of direct your focus entirely on the training.
A personal trainer who is an employee typically works for a gym, an exercise studio, a specialized corporation, a resort, a spa, a cruise ship, a retirement community, a university, or any other organization that will pay them based on salary and commission.
As an employee at a facility, you're often not able to set your own prices, and you typically cannot adjust based on the specific services offered.
Instead, you'll either be paid based on a flat rate salary, hourly or on commission.
Your salary is going to depend on the facility you work at, your experience, education, your certifications, your specializations, and dozens of other considerations.
When working on commission – especially when first starting out – it's likely you'll work for (close to) minimum wage while you work the floor, or rather, while you try to get members of the gym or organization to hire you.
Commission will vary based on the facility you work for, but on the high-end, you can likely expect anywhere from 30-60 percent based on your education and experience, and as low as 15-20 percent.
According to the Exercise Science Guide – who built a table based on Salary.com and BLS.gov – the reported annual salaries for personal trainers shows an average salary of about $39,410 annually, with a median salary of $55,158.
The lowest 10 percent were reported making less than $27,300, while the top ten percent were reported earning about $79,200.
Although you'll be lucky enough to reap the benefits of your corporations marketing, networking, and steady stream of clients, you'll also likely be stuck at their price points, meaning, you might not be able to create costs that make the most sense for your services.

Q: How to make a macro universal and usable everywhere I have written several macros that I would like to have accessible with a keyboard shortcut any time I open ANY workbook, not just in one specific workbook. Is there a standard procedure for this?

A: You could try making an add-in.

A: I did end up finding another solution to this as well. If you only want your macro available to you whenever you open an Excel worksheet (as opposed to distributing it to others), choose to save your macro in Personal Macro Workbook.

OSRAM GmbH
Lighting - OSRAM
HID lamps have the problem that structures grow on the two electrodes of these lamps. Back-burning of the electrodes increases the distance between the electrodes and therefore also the operating voltage of the HID lamp. The increase in the operating voltage may be up to approximately 1V per hour. This invention relies on the idea to produce a current pulse such that structures are removed.

Operation Jurist referred to the British recapture of Penang following Japan's surrender in 1945. Jurist was launched as part of Operation Zipper, the overall British plan to liberate Malaya, including Singapore.

While a larger Allied fleet sailed on to Singapore through the Malacca Strait under Operation Tiderace, a detachment of Royal Navy warships, led by Vice Admiral Harold Walker, moved towards Penang Island, arriving off the island on 28 August 1945. The Japanese garrison in Penang surrendered on 2 September and a party of Royal Marine commandos landed on Penang Island the following day, thus returning Penang to British rule.

Consequently, Penang became the first state in Malaya to be liberated by the British; Singapore would only be formally surrendered to the British on 12 September, while the rest of Malaya was subsequently liberated in the following weeks.

Background
During the final phases of World War II, the Soviet Union launched an invasion of Manchuria, while the Americans were also planning a massive invasion of Japan itself. Concurrently, the British-led Southeast Asia Command, fresh from their success in reconquering Burma from Japanese hands, drew up plans to recapture Japanese-held Malaya, codenamed Operation Zipper.

The original plans had called for an amphibious assault on the western coast of Malaya by over 100,000 Allied infantry, equivalent to two divisions and a brigade, to capture Port Swettenham in Selangor and Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan. Once the beachhead was secured and reinforced, two separate thrusts were to be accomplished—Operation Mailfist southwards to Singapore and Operation Broadsword north towards Penang. The British had expected to commence Operation Zipper on 9 September 1945 and Operation Mailfist in December 1945, concluding in the liberation of Singapore by March 1946.

The Americans opposed the British plans of reconquering Malaya on the grounds that such a campaign would divert a considerable amount of shipping and other resources from their planned invasion of Japan, Operation Downfall. However, the British government believed that it was necessary to liberate Singapore as soon as possible on both military and political grounds.

However, the sudden surrender of Japan in the face of Soviet conquests in Manchuria and Sakhalin Islands, and the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, forestalled all the plans.

Operation Zipper, therefore, had to be reduced in scale; while the bulk of the Allied forces would be allocated for the liberation of Singapore under Operation Tiderace, a detachment of the Royal Navy fleet and the accompanying Royal Marine commandos were tasked with the liberation of Penang instead, codenamed Operation Jurist. The liberation of Penang, which was to be carried out prior to Operation Tiderace, was intended to test Japanese intentions; up to that point, it was still unclear whether the Japanese forces in Malaya would surrender or continue resisting the Allies.

Order of battle

British
The Royal Navy's Task Force 11 allocated to Operation Jurist consisted of the following ships.

Vice Admiral Harold Walker, with his flagship HMS Nelson, was appointed the commander of the detachment.

In addition, Royal Marine commandos of the 3rd Brigade formed the ground forces for Operation Jurist.

Japanese
Air strength in both Malaya and Sumatra was estimated to be a little more than 170 aircraft.

The Japanese Seventh Area Army, which was responsible for the defence of Malaya (including Singapore) and Borneo, included about 26,000 soldiers stationed in Malaya. Meanwhile, the port facilities in George Town, which had been used by the submarine fleets of the Axis navies, were by then heavily damaged by the repeated Allied aerial bombardment of the city. The Penang Strait was also mined to impede Japanese merchant shipping passing through Penang.

Liberation of Penang
The Royal Navy's Task Force 11, carrying the Royal Marine commandos, departed Rangoon, Burma on 27 August 1945. The task force arrived off Penang Island on 28 August, met by a small fishing boat with Japanese officers on board.

Initially, the Japanese officers in Penang prevaricated. Japan's surrender had taken the Japanese high command in Singapore by surprise, with many among them unwilling to surrender and vowing to fight to the death. However, Field Marshal Count Terauchi, the commander of all Japanese forces in Southeast Asia, then ordered Japanese soldiers and servicemen in the region to lay down their arms. Things came to a head when an impatient Vice Admiral Walker issued an ultimatum for the Japanese officers stationed in Penang to sign the surrender documents on his flagship by the morning of 3 September.

Eventually, the Imperial Japanese Navy Rear Admiral Jisaku Uozomi, accompanied by his officers and the Japanese Governor of Penang at the time, Lieutenant General Shinohara Seiichiro, boarded HMS Nelson on the evening on 2 September. Inside the battleship, Vice Admiral Harold Walker, Rear Admiral Uozomi and Lieutenant General Seiichiro signed the surrender of the Japanese garrison stationed in Penang. Soon afterwards, Rear Admiral Uozomi reportedly fainted and was rushed to hospital.

In the morning of 3 September, a party of Royal Marine commandos landed at Weld Quay in George Town. After raising the Union Jack, the Royal Marines, led by a local band, marched to the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, where representatives of the Asian communities in Penang were waiting to formally hand back the city's administration to the British.

The Royal Marine detachment then spread out across George Town, encountering no resistance. Subsequent Royal Marine landing parties then took over the important military facilities on Penang Island, including the Bayan Lepas Airport and a seaplane base at Gelugor. The British commandos also confiscated Japanese military vehicles and marched the Japanese prisoners of war through the streets of George Town; the captured Japanese soldiers then surrendered their firearms before boarding the ferries to mainland Malay Peninsula, which at that point was still under Japanese jurisdiction.

By the end of the day, with the island's police force under British control, George Town became the first city in Malaya to be recaptured by the British. However, hunger riots broke out across Penang Island, as years of brutal Japanese occupation took their toll on the depleted food supplies.

Aftermath
Penang became the first state in Malaya to be liberated by the British from Japanese rule. Over the following weeks, the rest of Malaya was gradually liberated as well. Under Operation Tiderace, the larger British and French naval force arrived off Singapore on 4 September, formally accepting the official Japanese surrender of the island on 12 September. On 9 September, another component of Operation Zipper commenced when an amphibious assault was launched at Morib, Selangor. British troops also reached Kuala Lumpur on 12 September, where the 6,000 strong Japanese garrison surrendered on the next day.

On the other hand, the British were slow at reestablishing control over all of Malaya; for instance, British forces would not reach the eastern state of Pahang for another three weeks. This allowed a growing communist insurgency to take over a number of smaller towns throughout Malaya. It was only much later in 1945 when the Malayan Communist Party's armed wing, the Malayan Peoples' Anti Japanese Army (MPAJA), agreed to surrender their weapons.

To restore order and curb the communists, all of Malaya was placed under British Military Administration beginning 12 September. British military rule would only end on 1 April 1946, whereupon it was replaced by the Malayan Union. Concurrently on 1 April 1946, the Straits Settlements was dissolved, and the now separate British crown colonies of Penang and Malacca became part of the Malayan Union.

Davie Florida
Davie is a town in Broward County, Florida, United States. The town′s population was 91,992 at the 2010 census. Davie is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census. It is the most populous municipality labelled as a ″town" in Florida, and the fourth most populous such community in the United States, trailing only Hempstead, New York; Gilbert, Arizona; and Cary, North Carolina.
Caffeine Benefits for Energy
Caffeine is a plant stimulant and compound. It has similar structure to other plant compounds like theophylline, xanthine, and theobromine.
For the average person, tea or coffee is their big source of caffeine. Coffee canephor and coffee arabica are 2 types of plants that generate coffee beans. Meanwhile, the Camellia sinensis leaves are used for green, black and white teas.
Although tea and coffee both contain caffeine, they can have various effect on our health. This may be due to their different amounts of caffeine or other things. White coffee also contains diterpene alcohols that can increase cholesterol, tea contains polyphenols, which have many health advantages.

Davie was founded by Tamara Toussaint and Jake Tannebaum. The original name of the town was Zona. In 1909, R.P. Davie assisted then Florida Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward by draining the swamplands. Robert Parsell (R.P.) Davie, a developer, bought about 27,000 acres (109 km2) in the area. He built a school in Zona. In 1916, the people of the town were so grateful they renamed the town after him. It was carved out of Everglades land that was mostly underwater.
Davie has always had a reputation as a "Western" town, with many earlier buildings having "Wild West" architecture. It boasts a significant horse-owning population and once was home to many herds of cattle. In recent years, commercial and residential development has discouraged such practices, but Davie still tries to maintain a "Western" feel. Pioneer City, a western theme park, was located across the street from Flamingo Gardens. It was built in the 1960s and closed a few years later.
The Old Davie School
The Davie School, designed in 1917 by August Geiger, one of South Florida's most prominent early architects, opened its doors in 1918 with about 90 students. The Davie School was the first permanent school in the Everglades and is now Broward County's oldest existing school building. The building was in continuous use as a school until 1980. The Davie School Foundation was established in 1984 to protect and restore the Davie School to the integrity of its earlier appearance. The Foundation in conjunction with the Town of Davie, the Broward County School Board, the Soroptimists International of Davie, the Davie Historical Society and the community at large has worked tirelessly to preserve this important piece of Broward County's history The building is now referred to as the "Old Davie School," and is maintained by a collaboration of the Davie School Foundation and the Town of Davie.
In the early 2000s two other historic buildings from the surrounding neighborhood were moved to the property adjoining the Old Davie School.
*The Viele House, built beginning in 1912, is the oldest residential structure remaining in Davie and is an excellent example of vernacular architecture. It survived the hurricane of 1926 and the floods of 1947. It was continuously occupied by members of the Viele family until being moved to the Old Davie School property. Regrettably, the Viele House was sealed to accommodate a modern air conditioning system, as part of the permanent preservation plan. One of the most important features of the original structure was the non-electric "air conditioned" design of the home. Specifically, warm air was drawn up and out through the opening in the top of the attic. The natural air flow kept the home relatively comfortable, even in the hot south Florida climate. Also, as with most of the old Davie homes, the Viele House was elevated on pillars, which permitted the breeze to blow under the building.
*In 2004 the former home of Colonel Charles A. & Katherine M. Walsh (1912–1932) and the Bud & Betty Osterhoudt family (1958–2004) was also moved to the site.

Kmart brings back the Blue Light Special
Barbara Thau
Kmart, the beleaguered discount unit of Sears Holdings, is bringing back the Bluelight Special, its fabled sales ploy, Reuters reported.
The Bluelight Special debuted in 1965 as flashing blue sirens in the center of Kmart's stores that would go off to direct shoppers to a discount item, as an announcement was blared on a loudspeaker, "attention, Kmart shoppers," a term that became part of the American lexicon.
The retailer revived the blue sirens in 942 stores last week to kick off 15-minute deals. Kmart will launch a marketing campaign to highlight the move with a TV ad on "Sunday Night Football" on NBC, Reuters reported. The retailer phased out the Bluelight Special in the early 1990s.
The comeback of the Bluelight Special is an attempt to inject some excitement into Kmart's underperforming stores. It resulted from months of research that revealed Kmart shoppers' positive remembrances of the sales tactic from shopping on their own or with their parents when they were children, Kmart president Alasdair James told Reuters.
"It's part of our DNA," he said. "We think there is a real positive buzz coming out of it and we expect to see an increase in sales."
This is not the first time Kmart has revived the Bluelight Special. The retailer brought it back in 2001, and filed for bankruptcy the following year.
The gimmick has returned intermittently as part of one-off holiday campaigns since then, but this reintroduction marks the Bluelight Special's full-fledged comeback, the company says.
"It is all about bringing fun back into the shopping experience," Kelly Cook, Kmart's chief marketing office, told Reuters. "We are giving you that spontaneous rush which is at the heart of why the Bluelight Special works."
Kmart has posted two consecutive quarters of comp-store declines, but its problems go deeper than that. Sales at the retail chain have been on a nearly steady downward trajectory since 2005. That's when Eddie Lampert, Sears' largest shareholder and CEO, orchestrated its merger with Kmart. Lampert's critics say Kmart's troubles in part reflect his lack investment in the chain.
What's clear is that the retailer has failed to carve a meaningful niche amid low-price leader Wal-Mart and cheap-chic discounter Target, a far from its heyday in the 1980s, when it was the nation's biggest discounter.

There Is Envy Everywhere – Stonebwoy
Award-winning dancehall act, Stonebwoy talks about the music industry. He revealed that he has no friends in the music industry.
However, he admits that there is some level of support among artistes in the music industry. He made these statements to Lexis Bill on Behind the Fame on Joy FM
"We do support each other. It all comes back to understanding because when it comes to performing at shows, it is usually a win-win situation for the artistes involved,
"I do not have friends though it depends on the details"
"I won't say friends, you know when we say friends we shouldn't underestimate the word friends so we might not use that to explain the type of relationship that I have…,"
Moreover, he described colleague singer Samini whom many see as his close pal, as a brother.
"I mean if we are talking about 'friend-friend', Samini is my big brother as I see it so and then"
"Mugeez is somebody I speak to on that level so I'm mentioning people that are like if it is supposed to be friend-friend…Edem we speak 'once and once', Yaa Pono we speak 'once and once', Kwaw [Kese] as well."
According to him, he has no one in the industry that he speaks to constantly and even picks moves with.
"It's not really necessary, it all depends on the heart…because sometimes we don't talk for a long time, we don't see each other but what's in the heart remains if it's for peace, [if] it's for love we all know…,"
Also, Lexis Bill inquired if there is envy in the music industry. He answered: "there is envy in life so it flows everywhere."


To celebrate the launch of Ettore Blues, Lucy Folk has commissioned Seala Lokollo-Evans to create a series of ceramic works as a visual response to the current collection.
I was born in Byron Bay and grew up in the Byron Shire until I was 19. I went to Shearwater, the Mullumbimby Steiner School for 15 years and this, along with my home life really shaped the path for where I am now. I recently completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at RMIT specialising in Ceramics and Sculpture. Now I am working from my North Melbourne Studio where I make both small metal objects as well as ceramics.
Is this where you draw inspiration?
Definitely. Going to a Steiner school was a really magical experience and the memories I have from that as well as home life inspire a lot of my work today.
How did you begin with your ceramics? What made you choose that medium?
Since I was little I loved using clay. We used it a lot at school and at home. When I moved to Melbourne I met some very talented artists who work with clay and they definitely inspired me to continue using the medium. Clay, as a material, is very beautiful. It has a calming nature. I think I love how it absorbs a lot of water in it... keeping you feeling cool and relaxed.
What have been your most proud moments in your artistic journey so far?
Having the opportunity to collaborate with artists such as Lucy Folk.
This year I was awarded two awards from Craft Victoria which was unexpected and a proud moment for my personal journey.
What is your first memory with your art?
My earliest memories I have are being involved with painting, drawing and making all kinds of things with my mum, dad and sister. Everyone was always making something in our household.
To be grateful for the opportunities and support around me.
Seeing friends and family around me pursuing their various passions inspire me on a daily basis.
How would you describe your creative aesthetic?
I love process, texture and pattern...the building of a work is more important to me than the finished object.
Tell us about the works you have created for the LF collaboration?
I have created a collection of small vessels inspired by Lucy Folks Ettore Blues.
The works embody the texture, colour and pattern you see throughout Ettore Blues apparel and jewellery, combined with my signature shapes, textures and symbols.
The vessels are like old relics, not two are the same. Each holds it's own identity.
What's your go-to at LF?

New Kavanaugh claims: What's the impact?
Mike Bebernes
·Editor
"The 360" shows you diverse perspectives on the day's top stories.
What's happening:
Allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh were the source of intense debate during his confirmation hearing last year. The issue has resurfaced, after a story published in the New York Times that adds detail to an account from Deborah Ramirez, one of Kavanaugh's Yale classmates, who says he exposed himself to her at a party.
The story also includes a previously unreported accusation from someone who said he witnessed Kavanaugh's friends push "his penis into the hand of a female student" during the same period. The Times later revised its story to add the fact that the unnamed woman reportedly doesn't remember the incident. Much of Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing focused on a decades-old assault allegation from Christine Blasey Ford that the Times article's authors said they found "credible" in their reporting. Kavanaugh denies all of the allegations.
The story also includes new claims that the FBI chose not to interview dozens of people who could have corroborated Ramirez's account or follow-up when a Democratic senator brought the new accusation to its attention.
The claims have reignited tensions over Kavanaugh's seat on the Supreme Court. Several Democratic presidential candidates have called for him to be impeached. President Trump, on the other hand, said Kavanaugh is being "Assaulted by lies and Fake News!" and said the Justice Department should "come to his rescue."
Why there's debate:
Much of the debate in recent days echoes the one that took place in the leadup to Kavanaugh's appointment to the court. Republicans have questioned the validity of the allegations and claim they are politically motivated. Many Democrats have reiterated their view that his alleged behavior, and their belief he may have perjured himself during his confirmation hearing, should disqualify him from the court.
The information in the New York Times story might not be enough to shift people from these entrenched postures, whether they applaud or scorn Kavanaugh's presence on the court. One of the story's writers lamented the "rush to judgment" and "absence of truly introspective thinking" while discussing the response to its publication on Yahoo News "Skullduggery" podcast.
However, there may be consequences from the Kavanaugh saga being scrutinized in public again. The controversy has resurfaced at a time when the Democrats now control the House of Representatives and are in the midst of a presidential primary. Both of these factors could empower them to keep the issue in the news in a way they may not have been able to before.
One element of the new reporting that may lead to substantive action is intensified attention paid to the FBI's investigation into Kavanugh's behavior before his confirmation. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said the inquiry was a "sham" that was hampered by pressure from prominent Republicans.
What's next:
Democratic leadership in the House has thrown cold water on the notion of impeachment proceedings against Kavanaugh, citing the unlikelihood that the Senate would come close to enough votes to remove him. It's possible Democrats could launch their own inquiry into claims against Kavanaugh or whether the FBI's investigation was credible.
Regardless, Kavanaugh's confirmation will likely be a major point of debate for the 2020 election, both at the presidential level and in crucial Senate races. It could be a defining issue in the reelection bid of Maine Republican Susan Collins, who is seen as casting a key swing vote in Kavanaugh's favor.
From the Left
The new allegations further erode the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
"It was Kavanaugh who said in his opening statement to the Judiciary Committee at his 2018 hearing: 'The Supreme Court must never, never be viewed as a partisan institution.' But it's impossible not to view the court in exactly that way, thanks to a GOP determined to control it by any means at its disposal. It's why questions — about Kavanaugh and the court itself — will continue to haunt us." — E.J. Dionne Jr., Washington Post
The Kavanaugh hearing has shown Republicans they can get away with ramming through any judge they want.
"If you think this was a singular event, don't be too sure. If given the chance, Republicans would surely rush through another Supreme Court confirmation, facts and investigations be damned." — Robin Abacarian, Los Angeles Times
An inquiry into claims of an illegitimate FBI investigation could be damaging to Republicans.
"Democrats could use the scandal as another cudgel against Trump, who has ardently defended Kavanaugh and, in doing so, tied himself to the embattled judge. A congressional investigation into the Kavanaugh confirmation could paint a deeply unflattering portrait of Republicans' conduct in ramming him through to a 50-48 confirmation." — Eric Lutz, Vanity Fair
Kavanaugh will likely be a major issue in the 2020 election.
"The new allegations about him and the investigation into his conduct have reignited what is arguably the most contentious single political battle of the Trump era. It also was and is a fight worth having, and one that shouldn't be forgotten come election year." — Chas Danner, New York
The integrity of our institutions is at risk if the claims are not earnestly pursued.
"If presidents, cabinet members, and jurists who lie to Congress are not investigated and impeached when evidence of wrongdoing is revealed, then the system of checks and balances is rendered meaningless." — John Nichols, The Nation
There will be no substantive results out of these new claims.
"The horrifying thing is that we knew enough to know all of this last fall — and then, as now, there was no road to accountability, no way to demand a real investigation, no path to delay the process that would end in a lifetime appointment." — Dahlia Lithwick, Slate
Down the middle
Kavanaugh's seat on the Supreme Court is safe.
"... no matter how many books get written about Kavanaugh's past, his future is almost certainly on the Supreme Court." — Chris Cillizza, CNN
There will be intense scrutiny on the court's decisions in the near future.
"...this term, which opens in October, the Court could face high-profile cases involving sex discrimination, abortion rights, and more. The new details likely mean Kavanaugh and the Court as a whole will face even more scrutiny as they make decisions that affect Americans' lives."
— Anna North, Vox
Democrats will try to use Kavanaugh to delegitimize a possible decision on Roe v. Wade.
"The hope of the Democratic party and most of the media is to delegitimize Brett Kavanaugh and hence any Supreme Court decision in which he joins a 5–4 majority. The ground is being laid to make the case that, should Roe v. Wade be overturned in such a manner, that decision would exist under a cloud." — Kyle Smith, National Review
A potential Democratic president will be forced to take action by political pressure.
"...it seems quite likely at this point that any Democratic president elected in 2020 would be under significant pressure from the Left to, at a minimum, reopen an FBI investigation into Kavanaugh that can be framed as an effort to uncover the truth and ensure the integrity of our institutions." — Philip Klein, Washington Examiner
Democrats will rerun the Kavanaugh playbook if Trump nominates another justice.
"I think we have to worry about what happens if Trump eventually has another appointee that these kind of attacks are going to continue." — Carrie Severino, Fox News
The fight over the Supreme Court makes 2020 Senate races more important.
"The partisan relitigation of Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation is an embarrassment to the country, but it is useful in putting the 2020 election stakes in sharp relief. The future of the Supreme Court is on the ballot in Senate races as much as in the presidential race."

With chants of "Long live Kamala Harris," fireworks and prayers, residents of a tiny Indian village celebrated her inauguration as U.S. vice president. People flocked to the village and its Hindu temple in southern India, to watch Harris, who has ancestral roots in the village, take her oath of office on Wednesday in Washington. The villagers chanted "Long live Kamala Harris" while holding portraits of her and blasted off fireworks the moment she took the oath.
Ashley Biden: 'I will not have job in my father's administration,' unlike Ivanka Trump
Joe Biden's daughter Ashley has said she will not have a job in her father's administration, unlike Ivanka Trump, in her first interview since the election. The only child of President-elect Biden and wife Jill, Ashley, a 39-year-old social worker in Delaware, said she instead wanted to use her new platform to "advocate for social justice and mental health." "I will not have a job in the administration," she told NBC's Today Show, in what could be seen as a jibe at the current First Daughter, who, along with husband Jared Kushner, had adviser roles in the White House. "I do hope to bring awareness and education to some topics, subjects that are, you know, really important." Ms Biden, who is married to plastic surgeon Howard Krein, was active in her father's presidential campaign, speaking at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, and hosting an event for women in Wisconsin.
