University of Leicester's new conference centre and hotel recognised by Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors
Issued by University of Leicester Press Office on 9 May 2014
A project to transform a former University Halls of Residence into a state-of-the-art conference facility and Hotel has won an award recognising the highest standards of restoration and renovation of buildings in the East Midlands.
The University of Leicester's College Court Conference Centre and Hotel Project won the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) East Midlands Regional Award for Building Conservation Project of the Year. Members of the University's Division of Estates and Facilities Management and the College Court Management team were presented with the award by ITV weather presenter Emma Jesson at a ceremony on Friday 2 May.
College Court is a £17.5 million project which turned the University's Grade II listed College Hall buildings into a leading residential conference venue.
The buildings were originally designed by internationally renowned architects Trevor Dannatt and Leslie Martin and were originally built as catered student accommodation.
The refurbishment was designed by Associated Architects of Birmingham and constructed by Wilmott Dixon. The new designs met with the approval of one of the original architects, Trevor Dannatt.
The development also houses 18 conference rooms, 123 en suite bedrooms, restaurant, bar, private dining room and garden lounge.
The Grade II listed buildings, located close to the City Centre, had been out of use for around eight years.
Trevor Humphreys, Director of Estates, said: "The project to create the College Court hotel and conference centre is an excellent example of building conservation where a new use is found that breathes new life into a building or complex of buildings. The project team did an excellent job in delivering this project on time, below budget and to an excellent quality."
Steve Crawford, College Court Conference Centre Director, said: "I am delighted, and it is most fitting, that the first award given to College Court has recognised the bringing back to life of a Grade II listed building. It is a great endorsement to the project team led by the Estates Division. I am also thrilled that for such a young business the excellent reviews that we are receiving from our customers and the new revenue that we have brought to both the University and indeed city of Leicester."

oh weekend, how i love thee.
i had a sleepover last night at my best friends house. we were supposed to work on our student teaching portfolios for many hours, but instead we ate tomato, artichoke, and feta pizza (n0 sauce) from rotolo's and made brownies with homemade icing.
we made the icing with lots of powdered sugar and several tablespoons of skim milk. oh and a tsp of vanilla extract. the icing melted on the brownies and it reminded us of oreos. so yummy.
we also watched dan in real life, and i am officially obsessed with sondre lerche. every single song in the movie was sung by him, and he is wonderful!
Happy Friday and Happy, Happy Birthday to my darling sister, Lizzy! I am so thankful that she is my sister and my best friend, too. God is so good 🙂 In honor of my sister's birthday I have been baking and shopping.
My baking has been for Lizzy's birthday and also for the LSU party I am going to tomorrow.
My shopping has been for Lizzy's birthday gift and my outfit for her birthday outing tonight. I can't show you Lizzy's gift, but I can show you the dresses I purchased (ehh, my mom purchased for me). They are from a local boutique, Miche, and I love them all!
I am wearing the dress on the left tonight since we are still experiencing record breaking heat…but aren't the 2 long sleeved ones so lovely? I can't wait to wear them!
and some Michael Jackson at House of Blues! It is going to be such a fun night and I am so excited to celebrate Lizzy's birthday with her, our friends, and our family.
p.s. I ordered the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster in yellow…very excited about it!
Alright, well my bags are packed (sort of…I've got a few more things to throw in) and my Simply Organic Chai Spice Scones are baked. I can't wait to try these scones. I sampled some dough and it was quite yummy!
I also baked some healthified (I used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and omitted the Funfetti icing on top) Funfetti cookies!
I tried a small Funfetti cookie and it tasted so good. You would never know I used applesauce! And, the fact that these are cake cookies makes them so fluffy and doughy…well, cake like! I originally wanted to bake something from scratch and a little more wholesome, but I decided to save time and give these a whirl. I know my girlfriends will love these!!
Oh! I got my hair done today and I am back to brunette 🙂 I have been reddish/blonde since February and I loved it, but I missed my dark hair a lot. And with fall arriving I thought now was a good time to bring back the brown! It is super dark right now and it will fade a bit with time, but I love it dark! I feel so mature, haha. I will have a picture for y'all soon!
Happy Saturday, y'all! Today has been great so far 🙂 I did some yummy yoga, baked tomorrow nights dessert (and licked the spoon hehe) and received some fun surprises in the mail!
A handwritten note, a magnet, Food, Inc info, a reusable bag, and COUPONS galore for Stonyfield's yummy yogurt! I can't wait to head to Whole Foods and put these coupons to good use. Thanks again, Kristina!!!
Oh, and last night my friends and I had a movie night…a Jane Austen movie night! We watched Emma and Becoming Jane. I loved Emma! I think it is now my favorite of all Jane Austen novels/movies. Although Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility are wonderful. I just love Emma's character. She was such a gossip but tried so hard to be kind hearted! She was so loving. And, Becoming Jane was so beautiful, but the ending was too depressing. Have any of y'all seen Becoming Jane? I want to see The Jane Austen Book Club next.
Tonight I am babysitting my cousins while my aunt and uncle attend a wedding. I love spending time with my cousins! They are so much fun when they are little 🙂 Hopefully we get to color a lot, my favorite thing to do!

Canada willing to wait for suspended Reinhart
by Shawn P. Roarke
TORONTO – Canadian national junior team coach Brent Sutter has absolute trust in Griffin Reinhart.
How far does that trust go? Far enough that he is comfortable playing a bit shorthanded on the blue line for the first three games of the upcoming World Junior Championship tournament, which begins Dec. 26 in Malmo, Sweden.
Reinhart, the star defenseman for the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, must serve the final three games of a four-game suspension delivered at last year's World Junior Championship for a high-sticking infraction committed against American forward Vincent Trocheck in the final preliminary game. Reinhart missed the semifinal, which Canada lost, and now must still serve the remainder of his ban.
"We weren't exactly sure what to do, but after the Subway Series was over, it was pretty clear that if we could have Griffin Reinhart for the last four game of the tournament, we would rather have that than not have him," Sutter told NHL.com on Sunday, the last day of Canada's selection camp at the Mastercard Centre for Hockey Excellence. "At that point, I haven't thought about it since then."

Reinhart only played in one Subway Series game, a 3-2 loss to the Russian team in Red Deer, Alberta, but he had a goal and was plus-2. He was one of Canada's most dominant players.
But, even with all that, Reinhart's inclusion on the Canadian WJC team is not without its critics and does leave the team in a bit of a bind. When the Canadians hand in their final roster on Dec. 19, it will only have seven defensemen. That means the Canadians will play the first three games with six available defenders, leaving no wiggle room if a player is injured, struggles or is suspended.
But it is a chance Canada management is willing to take. Reinhart's teammates are willing to wait too.
"With Griff out, that's obviously a big loss," said Mathew Dumba, a candidate to play on the top pair with Reinhart when he returns. "He's a great player. I guess it is something we are not focusing on too much. We have guys that can step up and play a big role, and when Griff does get back, the more the merrier I guess."
But why exactly is everyone willing to make such a roster gamble in a tournament that means so much to Canadians?
Because Reinhart is simply a game-changing talent.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound defender, taken at No. 4 by the New York Islanders in the 2012 NHL Draft, is an adept puck handler with the poise to weather the forecheck and the vision to make the proper outlet pass. He can run a power play and has a dangerous shot from the point. Plus, as a 19-year-old who has been through the WJC battles before, he knows what Canada faces in the next few weeks and how to handle that pressure.
"I was here last year, so I know what it takes to win the games; so I'll try to lead them off the ice in that way," Reinhart said. "I'll be watching, making sure I stay in the loop with what is going on with the team. I'll be working, doing some extra skating to keep me in shape."
If anybody knows what Griffin Reinhart brings to the equation, it would be Sam Reinhart, Griffin's younger brother. Sam Reinhart is in the mix to be one of Canada's 13 forwards.
"He's a great presence to have on the blue line; he is so composed in any situation," Sam Reinhart said. "Obviously, the experience and leadership he brings is great to have."
Reinhart admitted it will be hard to watch those first three round-robin games while he finishes serving his suspension, but he said he will treat it as though he is out injured, and insisted he will be ready when eligible to return.
"It'll be hard watching for sure. Everyone wants to play," he said. "I've sat out in the WHL with injuries, so I have to take it like that and just take all the positives and not look at the negatives.
"I think I will be OK. I have sat out over a week before and then come back to playing. It's not really too much time off."
Plus, he knows he will be thrown right into the fire. His first game back: New Year's Eve against the Americans, the defending champions.
That alone, he says, will assure he is ready to go.
"I've definitely seen the schedule," he said. "Obviously, the first three games I can't play, and that is upsetting. But coming back and playing against the States on [Dec.] 31st, that is a huge rivalry and everybody gets hyped up for that game."

Q: Variants of VGA connectors Recently, I bought a replacement for an old VGA cable. The original one looked like this:

The new one looks like this:

I have Ubuntu OS in my PC. When I use the old (blue) VGA cable, it detects the monitor and the resolution properly. But, when I connect the new one (black), Ubuntu says that the maximum resolution is 1024x768 although I have got a full HD resolution in my monitor.
Why is the difference? Are those two connectors different in functionality?

Relaxing. Do we Fit Girls know what that word means? Well, it has never been on the top of my to-do list. Until now, that is. Maybe it's that I'm getting older, or maybe it's the phase I'm currently in – mother with number two on the way. I'm not really sure, but I needed some true peace and quiet. I really had to recharge my batteries and I wanted to rejuvenate my inspiration. So I treated myself to a mindfulness weekend. I would love to share some mindfulness exercises with you that I learned and that are really valuable and special to me. And that are really easy to integrate into everyone's daily life.
Mindfulness is one of those fashionable terms that you see being used just about everywhere. I did a quick Google search, but the huge amount of hits made my head spin. I didn't want to go to a monastery and wasn't looking for something that was very spiritual. Fortunately a good friend of mine had heard positive reviews of Lighthouse works. The weekend program contained yoga, meditation, mindfulness workshops and guided walks. And the weekend was in a really good location, in the middle of the forest, in a luxurious spa hotel ;-). I was sold and booked immediately.
Most weekend trips I go on are with my best friends or with my family but I had to go on this weekend alone. It was pretty scary in the beginning, because I didn't know what to expect and what if I was the only one not that spiritual inclined or yoga minded? Surprisingly (to me), most women were just like me. Modern, hard working, ambitious, in love with life, but also struggling with issues like pleasing others, always wanting more out of life, not aware of the moment we are living in now and always busy with tomorrow. I was so ready for this.
After our first yoga class, I had my first mindfulness (and meditation) workshop ever. We learned some of the basics about mindfulness and then we did a funny exercise with raisins. We had to put the raisins in our hand and act like we have never seen a raisin before. "What do you see? How does it feel? How does it smell? What does it sound like when you hold it against your ear? Put the raisin on your lips, how does that feel and when you put it in your mouth, what happens?" Finally we could bite the raisin, but we still had to try and find out what we felt and experienced. It was pretty weird and funny at the same time. I don't like raisins at all, but because of this exercise, I ate them all and they tasted pretty good. By paying close attention to something, you can feel much more joy. In my case I gave this raisin a chance and I liked it, even though I don't like raisins at all. Judging things in life can limit your awareness and joy. Life lesson number 1.
We also did a lot of one-on-one exercises. And one exercise in particular made me very emotional and made me realize that I'm much more of a giver, than a taker. We had to sit next to each other with our shoulders touching each other, while we both had to face in opposite directions. While we sat there, we had 5 minutes to finish the sentence "I can call myself a special person because…" But we were not allowed to make contact, react or make any sound while the other person was telling their story. It's called active listening. The story the girl next to me, was telling me was very recognizable to me and made me pretty emotional because she was able to say all those things out loud. She is a beautiful person and she should be happy, instead of feeling guilty or miserable. When it was my turn, I blacked out. I couldn't speak for the first 2 minutes. I'm not a big fan of expressing my feelings I guess. I'm a much better listener. For the girl next to me it was hard because she could feel how difficult it was for me and the only thing she wanted to do, was comfort me, and put her hand on my shoulder, but she wasn't allowed to do that. When I was alone in my room later on, I did the exercise again but this time I wrote it down instead of saying the words out loud.
Minute 1: Think about all your thoughts, your mood and how your body is responding to all of that.
Minute 3: Keep focusing on your breathing but slowly you let the environment in. What do you hear, what do you see? Be aware of the moment you are in.
I never thought I would be able to enjoy meditation, to enjoy silent walks (which felt like being at a funeral at first) and to enjoy peace and quiet this much (I turned off my mobile phone). I met beautiful people with different stories and they made me realize that's okay to be me. And when the weekend was over, I had a hard time with all the noise around me, the messages on my phone and the rat race of life. But now I feel stronger and I'm more aware of my emotions and doubts and I've learned to accept my thoughts and feelings. I'm still doing some meditation and I (trying to) live more of my life in the moment. Mission Mindfulness accomplished.

CSA grad keeps the 216 in his heart, offers kids hope through dance–Lee McKinstry (2016)
It's a fair June evening and Nehemiah Spencer sways stageside at Wade Oval Wednesday, clad in black-on-black Converse and a crew neck festooned with the familiar red curves of the Coca-Cola logo. Today's theme is "Reggae Night," and the assembled families are chatty and sporting Bob Marley T-shirts. Spencer has picked up a loose branch in each hand and moves his arms in easy rhythms, improvising a deft twirl of one wrist in time with the band. A few huddled couples smile at him from their blankets, unsure if he's part of the show.
Spencer, a graduate of the Cleveland School of the Arts (CSA) and Juilliard, is now a company dancer with the Complexions Contemporary Ballet in New York City. The Glenville native is preparing for a new show with the company in Israel. So what's he doing in Cleveland on a Wednesday night?
Spencer comes home every summer. In 2012, he founded the Nehemiah Project, a dance-intensive effort that provides affordable instruction to inner-city youth. Beyond typical lessons in technique, however, the program holds classes geared toward social justice, covering topics on everything from bullying prevention to race relations workshops.
"For example, I know that bullying is not just physical, but most of the time, there's an aggression that needs to be let out, in some cases physically," says Spencer. "I wanted people to realize that there are different ways you can use your body to allow yourself to feel liberated. That's what dance basically does."
Every year, the program tackles a new community initiative. One summer, the students created a showcase for nursing home patients, choosing the venue and choreographing the piece themselves. Last year, the group held an anti-bullying flash mob in Tower City, dancing to "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The Cleveland-based MadWerkz Studios filmed it, and created a documentary short that was shown at three film festivals, winning the "Audience Choice Award" at the ICE Film Festival in Dayton. For several summers, students have participated in diversity and community relations seminars hosted by the Shaker Heights High School Group on Race Relations and the Cleveland Police Department.
"We had our first student alumni of the The Nehemiah Project graduate from college just recently and that's huge," says Obadiah Baker, founder of Tender Hearts Crusades, the nonprofit that acts as the Project's primary fiscal sponsor. "That's the whole point – to give them the emotional tools they need to cope with the reality of life. We're trying to build resiliency in at-risk youth, especially those that are in disadvantaged, underserved areas in America. We want to equip them with the tools they need to endure in any type of environment, especially because of their social position within American society."
But on this summer night, the kids are at Wade Oval as part of a collaboration with Fresh Camp, an urban gardening and hip-hop recording program for Cleveland youth. They've created a modern dance piece to a song the Fresh Campers wrote and produced. The performance starts quietly, with four dancers stretching their arms into acute angles to a folk-inflected melody. Soon, the bass rises, and the Fresh Camp MCs enter, rapping "Everything is better when we work together!" while the dancers spin. By the end of the set, they've invited half of Wade Oval to join them onstage.
It's more than Spencer ever hoped for. He started the program as a one-off after a conversation with his mother, Callie, lamenting the lack of affordable dance courses in Cleveland. Through CSA, he traveled to dance conferences across the country, but knew many of his peers didn't have that opportunity. In the Nehemiah Project's first year, he taught the classes himself and created a Kickstarter to pay for costumes. Soon, he'd raised $1,500. Five years, a number of Juilliard Summer Arts Grants and a fateful meeting with Baker later, and the Nehemiah Project is a rising force in Cleveland arts education.
For Spencer, the program is a tribute to his mother, who serves as a mentor and for many young dancers. When he founded the Nehemiah Project, he also established a scholarship fund for graduating CSA seniors and named it after her – the Callie E. Taylor Award.
"Programs like this are important, because they give students an alternative viewpoint on the reality that we live in, because we can live in a really scary place. But it doesn't have to be, if people find something that they're passionate about or something that scares them, and do it anyway."

Genre: Time-Travel, Fiction
Publication Date: December 6th 2013 by John A. Heldt
Amazon | Goodreads
In May 2000, Joel Smith is a cocky, adventurous young man who sees the world as his playground. But when the college senior, days from graduation, enters an abandoned Montana mine, he discovers the price of reckless curiosity. He emerges in May 1941 with a cell phone he can't use, money he can't spend, and little but his wits to guide his way. Stuck in the age of swing dancing and a peacetime draft, Joel begins a new life as the nation drifts toward war. With the help of his 21-year-old trailblazing grandmother and her friends, he finds his place in a world he knew only from movies and books. But when an opportunity comes to return to the present, Joel must decide whether to leave his new love in the past or choose a course that will alter their lives forever. THE MINE follows a humbled man through a critical time in history as he adjusts to new surroundings and wrestles with the knowledge of things to come.
Time travel is hit or miss for me, it's never been one of those branches of fantasy that has pulled me in, but I had the opportunity to read this and it intrigued me.
Joel Smith is a twenty-two year old in 2000, fairly care free, reckless and a leap before thinking kind of guy. So when he ventures off with his buddy Adam to an abandoned mine on a day unlike any other [six planets are in alignment, spooky!] He finds himself stepping through some kind of barrier that leads him into May of 1941. He's dumped in the past with nothing to his name and no way to return to present time.
I enjoy the depiction of the 40's, it's not an era I typically read but I enjoyed the easiness of it, the way I could feel as if I was in that time. Joel found himself pressed to find a way to make a living, with nothing to his name and no way of paying for housing or even food he was even reduced to garbage picking, but he found his way and met the onslaught of main characters. Each one had a personality of their own, their own backstory.
Joel grew as a character but stayed true to who he was, which I enjoyed immensely. He touched the lives of others and felt them affecting his life and heart as well, but he was also faced with the difficult decision and the knowledge that he would have to leave and return to present time. He knew that while he was there he mucked things up but would he do the right thing in the end? He had some pretty hard choices to make!
There was really only one thing that bothered me, it was that although I enjoyed the characters I found myself lacking a connection to them. Which made delving into the book trying at times.
My favorite – and a shocker for me was the end, which was a perfect ending in my mind. This was a fun book to read, though.

The triphenylmethanol was purified by recrystallization. Introduction A Grignard reagent is a type of organometallic, which consists of a bond between what are codes of practice in health and social care metal and a carbon. There are three types of carbon-metal bonds: ionic, polar Grignard Reaction Lab Report, and covalent. The ionic bonded compounds example: RNa have a weak bond between the carbon and the metal, and are therefore not useful because they are Grignard Reaction Lab Report volatile, and they will react with nearly anything.
The Grignard Reaction Lab Report bonded compounds example: R2Pb are toxic. The compounds that are polar covalent bonded are Grignard reagents and are useful in making carbon-carbon bonds and reducing carbonyls. They are called Grignard Reaction Lab Report reagents after their discoverer, French chemist Victor Grignard, who was a corecipient of the Grignard Reaction Lab Report Prize for Chemistry for this socratic method of teaching 1.
Grignard reagents commonly are Grignard Reaction Lab Report by reaction of an alkyl halide RX with magnesium in a nitrogen atmosphere because the reagent is very reactive toward oxygen and moisture, which. Grignard reagents react with water to produce alkanes. This is the reason that everything Theme Of Self Determination In Frederick Douglass to be very dry during the preparation. Alkyl halides vary greatly in their Grignard Reaction Lab Report of reaction with magnesium. For example, alkyl iodides generally react very rapidly, whereas Grignard Reaction Lab Report aryl chlorides react very slowly, if at all. Their chemical behavior resembles that of carbanion species that contain a Grignard Reaction Lab Report charged carbon :CH Grignard reagents are strong bases and strong nucleophiles.
Grignard Reaction Lab Report reagents are made through single electron transfers What Makes America Great magnesium and an alkyl halide. Grignard Grignard Reaction Lab Report are manufactured through the process of a radical reaction Grignard Reaction Lab Report shown below. Grignard reagents react with molecules to extend Grignard Reaction Lab Report chains through the attraction of a nucleophilic carbon to an electrophilic carbon nucleophilic addition. The Grignard reagent Grignard Reaction Lab Report serve as a nucleophile because of the attraction between the the roman legacy negativeness of the carbon atom in the Grignard reagent Grignard Reaction Lab Report the Grignard Reaction Lab Report of the carbon in Grignard Reaction Lab Report carbonyl compound.
The Grignard reagent can oxidize a carbonyl functional group into a hydroxyl group. The metal is less electronegative than the carbon, so the carbon bears a partial negative Grignard Reaction Lab Report. This partial negative charge attacks Grignard Reaction Lab Report carbonyl at the Jackie Robinson: A Biography positive carbon, forms a new carbon-carbon bond, and obeah in jamaica an electron Grignard Reaction Lab Report out of the double bond into the lone pair position.

Many of these reactions are used for synthetic purposes, notably those with carbonyl compounds e. Grignard tesla swot analysis react with water to form a strong base, and they can Grignard Reaction Lab Report as a nucleophile to find a primary alcohol as shown respectively below.
Grignard reagents also react with the least hindered carbon Grignard Reaction Lab Report an epoxide to break the ring in order Grignard Reaction Lab Report relieve ring strain. A reaction of the Grignard reagent and carbon dioxide results in an acid, and reaction of a nitrile and a Grignard reagent produce a carbonyl Similarities Between Beyonce And Rihanna an imine intermediate. These are show below, respectively. Grignard reagents are reactive enough to also attach esters; however, two equivalents of the Grignard reagent are usually added because less then two equivalents leave a large quantity of unreactive ester.
This reaction forms a tertiary alcohol. Grignard reagents cannot be synthesized from alcohols because instead of reacting with the halide to form the Grignard reagent, the alcohol is Keep Ticks Off Your Dog Essay. Grignard reagents also cannot be Grignard Reaction Lab Report from Esther In The Bell Jar with a carbonyl group.

For those not familiar with the play, what is it about?
Adam: The short answer is it's about a man who is turned into a beetle and what happens as a result of that. If you want a more in-depth answer… How much time have you got??
Metamorphosis examines themes of identity, perception, coming of age… It's about how far you can push the ones you love; it's about prejudice based solely on outward appearance; it's about the importance of being rather than seeming to be.
Kafka's story begins with a man inexplicably transformed into a monster, seemingly for no reason whatsoever, and addressed what might happen to the man/monster, his family who care for him, and the world around him as they react to him.
Adam: All of the above! There is so much to take away from this story, honestly every time I read it I get something else from it that I'd never noticed before.
We're always finding new angles with it, even in the middle of rehearsals. It's also extremely relevant today, particularly with the theme of mental health, which we've focused on quite heavily. On top of this there's the added bonus of having a phenomenally talented makeup artist who is capable of creating the transformation live, so that's always an attraction too!
It was written about 100 years ago, have you updated it at all?
Adam: In parts. The story has been expanded to include a few characters that are mentioned but never seen in Kafka's novella, and a few scenes have been added which focus particularly on the deterioration in the relationship between our man/monster Gregor and his sister Grete.
The time period has been updated too, to a more modern setting in order to emphasise its relevance. The language has needed less of an update than you might expect – it turns out Kafka's disjointed style translates to a modern-day audience rather well!
While playing with the makeup we've also found that presenting Gregor's transformation as a step-by-step metamorphosis has proved more striking than having a complete change at the start of the play.
It's a very visual production, can you tell audiences what they should expect to see?
Adam: Some pretty impressive makeup, for a start! I don't want to give too much away, but it is absolutely terrifying. Particularly with the speed at which Sarah works – it's some of the weirdest quick changes I've ever seen!
We have a lot of fun with the lighting too: plenty of shadows and flickering lights. There's also some more bizarre moments, some… I'm not sure if comedy is the right word for a play like this, but black humour perhaps! We have a lot of fun with one of our actors, Luke, who is playing seven characters and is running all over the set doing quick changes with costumes, hats, fake moustaches… Like I said, it's bizarre.
How have you created the makeup?
Sarah: With a lot of trial and error! Adam and I started by discussing what the metamorphosis would look like in an ideal world with unlimited time and budget. I then went away and worked on how to get as close to that as possible whilst considering the parameters of live theatre.
We use all sorts of materials including prosthetics, crepe hair, greasepaints, fake blood as well as some more unusual things like marmite and salad cream! Often the things that give the best effect on stage are the most basic… but I won't spoil it by listing all of them!
What's the most fun makeup look you've ever created?
Sarah: This is definitely up there as one of the most fun looks I've done! Adam has given me free reign to do whatever I think will work, which has been terrifying at times but a real treat.
The gradual transformation of Gregor throughout the play from human to monster has meant I get to be super creative – there is so much going on!
As for other makeup looks I've created – it's always fun to work with blood and gore so I would say those are good to do, but I always enjoy creating any character look. The process of researching the person, period, story etc and putting it all together into their unique look never gets boring.

The Leica Angle Viewfinder M shows a large, round, upright and un-reversed central section of the viewfinder image of approximately .3 inches or 8.7mm. The freely rotatable 45 degree eyepiece allows subjects to be viewed easier in all situations, especially where the photographer does not want to hold the camera directly in front of his/her eye, for example during reproductions. More comfortable posture is allowed when shooting close-ups near the ground with the Leica Macro-Elmar M 90mm f/4. When necessary, the Leica Angle Viewfinder can be outfitted with any Leica dioptre correction lens or the 1.25x Viewfinder magnifier. This VF magnifier is most beneficial with a long focal lens (starting at 75mm).
The Angle Viewfinder has a weight of just 1.5 oz and is only available with a black chrome finish. When not in use the Angle Viewfinder M can be stored in a matching high-grade leather case. The Angle Viewfinder M will also be included in a set consisting of the Leica Macro-Elmar M 90mm f/4 and the Macro adapter.
With the Leica Macro-Elmar M 90mm f/4, Leica is offering a compact and versatile telephoto lens. The lens' optical correction was specifically optimized for the complete distance range of close-up to infinity.
The combination of the Leica Macro-Adapter M and the Leica Macro-Elmer-M 90mm f/4 allows close-ups with reproduction ratios of up to 1:3. The Leica Macro-Elmer-M 90mm f/4 is a universally applicable lens in the medium telephoto range, but also a macro lens that exhibits excellent image quality in the close-up range.

A Message From Our CEO
A Difficult Decision That Impacts Our Community
Dear friends and supporters,
Due to ongoing health concerns and continued unknowns created by the COVID-19 global pandemic, I am here to share a very difficult announcement which impacts our community and marks an unprecedented time in the history of the Heritage Foundation.
The Heritage Foundation has a mission to save places and stories that matter in Williamson County, which includes hosting long-standing signature events that create cultural community engagement. These events also serve to generate much-needed operational revenue to keep our preservation, education and community programs going.
With a clear focus on the health and safety of our community, and after much deliberation and review of economic impact, virtual options and health and government updates, the Heritage Foundation and our Board of Directors have agreed to cancel all live festivals and events for the remainder of 2020.
In addition, we will postpone all further programming at the Franklin Theatre effective June 18, 2020 with the exception of two concert events previously scheduled in July.
The Foundation events which will be cancelled for 2020 include:
37th Annual Main Street Festival scheduled for July 18-19
37th Annual Pumpkinfest on October 24
36th Annual Dickens of a Christmas on December 12-13.
We have also made the decision to cancel the 47th Annual Heritage Ball scheduled for October 3, which is the longest-running black-tie event in Williamson County and the Foundation's largest fundraiser.
All remaining programming, movies and events at The Franklin Theatre as of June 18, 2020 will be postponed, with the exception of two concert events previously scheduled in July (details to come).
The new live performance series slated to launch this fall will also be postponed. We are currently making our best effort to reschedule these events into our 2021/22 season and pledge to keep you informed of our progress along the way. Current ticket holders will be contacted with options, and new dates for the Performing Arts Series and other 2021/22 programming will be forthcoming.
I know this announcement is terribly disappointing to our community, vendors, local businesses and all of our supporters, but firmly believe this is the best decision to ensure that the Heritage Foundation can continue to serve our community for generations to come.
I want to thank each and every one of you who have attended any of our festivals, supported our annual fundraiser ball, or visited our beloved Franklin Theatre. Creating community and connecting people with our local heritage is critical to the mission of the Foundation. Without these major community fundraising events and theatre programming for operational revenue, we need your support now more than ever.
Only with your support can our team continue to bolster advocacy and education for historical preservation, continue our current preservation projects, and support downtown Main Street merchants through this unprecedented season. But we can't do it without you — our community and our supporters.
We need you to be part of the story this year, so it will be possible to make 2021 a year of community celebration, reviving our downtown Franklin signature festivals and events, and filling the Franklin Theatre with the new live performing arts season.
If you would like more information about today's decision, email info@williamsonheritage.org or CLICK HERE for a list of Frequently Asked Questions.
Our team is here to answer any questions and support our community that we love to serve.
The role you play this year will be part of our story for generations to come. Please donate, join our Leadership Society, become a member or a volunteer. Just be part of the story and help us keep it going!

About a year ago, I raved to everyone about the great book from James K. A. Smith, Desiring the Kingdom. He suggests that a Christian anthropology which sees humans as "knowers" or "believers" (which is often implicit in many Reformed circles/studies on worldview) misses the deeper aspect of humans-as-lovers. What we desire drives what we are.
It's not really earth-shattering; more like a recovery and clarification of a truth that should have never dropped from view.

New York Jets Have Slight Edge To Win at Home on Thursday Night
Published on November 10th, 2015 10:14 pm EST
Thursday Night Football has been delivering some very good games so far this season, and this Thursday night's game is no different as the New York Jets play host to the Buffalo Bills in a crucial AFC East contest.
The New York Jets enter the contest with a 5-3 record, while the Buffalo Bills are currently 4-4. Neither team has much of a chance of catching the 8-0 New England Patriots, though a wild card spot is very much a possibility for both teams.
Both teams are currently dealing with injuries right now, as the Jets are dealing with a hand injury to their starting QB, Ryan Fitzpatrick, while Bills' running back LeSean McCoy is dealing with a shoulder injury. Karlos Williams was sublime in Shady McCoy's absence this past Sunday, as he managed to get into the endzone twice while McCoy was on the sidelines.
In addition, Sammy Watkins continues to battle some nagging injuries, though he put up a strong performance this past weekend.
With the Buffalo Bills having a run-first attack and Ryan Fitzpatrick dealing with a hand injury, there is a strong likelihood that much of this game will be contested on the ground. Many people feel as though this gives the edge to the Bills, though the Jets will be playing in the friendly confines of their own stadium.
Let's take a look at the odds for Thursday night's game:
Buffalo Bills, 2.25
New York Jets, 1.69
Buffalo Bills, +2.5, 1.95
New York Jets, -2.5, 1.87
Over 42.5 Points, 1.91
Under 42.5 Points, 1.91
As you can see, the Jets are small favourites to wi
This is a crucial game in the division, as mentioned. The Jets could really give themselves a great shot at securing a wild care spot with a win, while the Bills desperately need a win in order to keep pace.

Congrats on your raise, minimum wage workers
Courtesy photo Climbing the economic ladder.
On Wednesday, Jan. 1, Arizona's minimum wage increased to $12 an hour. This increase is the continuing result of Prop 206 passed in November 2016, which increased the state's minimum wage to $10.50 per hour at the beginning of 2018 and $11 per hour at the beginning of 2019.
For minimum wage workers, this increase means an additional $2,080 this year.
Arizonans passed Prop 206 when the state's minimum wage was $8.05. Beyond 2020, minimum wage is planned to increase based on the cost-of-living changes dictated by the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers.
The nonprofit organization Living United for Change in Arizona put Prop 206 on the ballot, which not only increased minimum wage but also mandated paid sick time for employees.
"Most of the stories we've heard from this is that people are using the new funds to help better themselves in the workforce," said Bill Scheel, a Phoenix consultant who aided the nonprofit on the Prop 206 campaign. "They're getting their cars repaired, attending community college classes for job skills, and paying for supplemental classes to educate their kids."
Even before the act went into effect, it proved controversial. Multiple Arizona chambers of commerce unsuccessfully attempted to block the act a month after 58 percent of Arizona voters approved it. More than two years later, chambers of commerce remain critical of the increase.
"Flat out, small businesses, which 85 to 90 percent of our local businesses are small businesses, get crushed," said Amber Smith, President and CEO of the Tucson Metro Chamber. "It's extremely difficult to absorb the cost of minimum wage increasing. It's going to be extremely consistent with what previous impacts have been."
While minimum wage in Arizona is now $12, this is not the case for everyone; employers are permitted to pay employees who receive tips as low as $9 per hour, so long as the tipped employees earn at least minimum wage when their tips are included.
According to the Industrial Commission of Arizona, those employed by their family members, by the State of Arizona or the U.S. government, or by certain small businesses grossing less than $500,000 annually, may still be paid less than $12 per hour. Arizona's minimum wage laws make no distinction between full-time, part-time or temporary employees.
Prop 206 also allows for counties, cities and towns to mandate their own minimum wages, so long as it is not lower than the state minimum wage. While this does not change anything for Tucson, cities like Flagstaff currently have a higher minimum wage than the rest of Arizona.
With this wage increase, Arizona will have one of the highest minimum wages in the nation (tied with Colorado and Maine which also raised to $12 per hour at the beginning of 2020). Arizona is only behind New York, Washington, Oregon and Washington D.C.
"We're so used to being 48th or 49th in national listings, and to be in the top five is awesome, we ought to be really proud," Scheel said. "This benefits not only working-class families, but Arizona as a whole."
While it can be difficult to measure exactly how many hires, fires and business closures resulted from increasing minimum wage, this information can be hinted at from other statistics, such as the unemployment rate and job sector growth.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Arizona's unemployment rate has not radically changed since voters revised the state's minimum wage laws. Arizona unemployment has fluctuated from 5.2 percent in January 2017, to 4.8 percent in January 2018, to 5.1 percent in January 2019. The state remains roughly one full percent above the national unemployment rate.
"[Increasing minimum wage] can make us less competitive; it's a double-edged sword," Smith said. "We are extremely involved in workforce development, because it is our goal to grow individuals and talent to have a self-sustainable wage. So rather than mandate what someone should get paid, we'd rather support and grow people's ability to gain skills and then earn a higher wage... I think everyone needs to be more focused on how we can better train and build skills so that we can really grow our economy, rather than create these false results."
Prop 206 also requires employers to provide employees upwards for 40 hours of paid sick leave per year, depending on the size of the company.
"More than just the economics of minimum wage, we've seen a change in the way people organize from this, and I think that will continue to affect politics in the coming cycles," Scheel said. "The credit goes to LUCHA, this organization was not well known before this effort, but took a lead that elevated them to national coverage."

Trade deal could mean end of procurement strategies, panellists say
Top 10 most romantic getaways in Europe 2012
Fiat's Marchionne calls for EU action on auto oversupply
Posted by ICCC on in Canadian Economy, European Economy, General Interest, Trade
March 6, 2012 – 7:45pm BY REMO ZACCAGNA BUSINESS REPORTER @ Calgary Herald Business
An impending trade deal with Europe could spell the end of procurement strategies like the one used to award the $25-billion shipbuilding contract to Irving Shipbuilding Inc. in Halifax.
Under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which is expected to be finalized sometime this year, Canada has agreed to prohibit municipalities and provinces from offering incentives or favouring local bidders on procurement contracts.
According to the draft agreement, that means any contracts above $340,000 for goods and services and $8.5 million for construction would be subject to a challenge if a European company thought it was being excluded.
It's one of a number of red flags about the deal that were raised Tuesday at a forum at the Delta Halifax organized by the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour and the Canadian Auto Workers.
A three-member panel discussed the impact of the trade agreement on Canada and Nova Scotia.
One of the most troubling potential effects for panellist Scott Sinclair, a senior research fellow at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, is that the Irving shipbuilding contract may not have happened if the agreement was already in place.
In his view, the federal procurement strategy used to award the shipbuilding contracts should be a model for the future.
"It's sensible for governments to factor in the economic spinoffs and training opportunities and benefits for small businesses in their community when they go and make major purchases," Sinclair said.
"CETA could mean that that's the last Canadian success story for an industrial strategy and government purchasing, and I think that's wrong."
But Fred Morley, the executive vice-president and chief economist for the Greater Halifax Partnership, said the agreement means "there will be winners and those that don't win."
Halifax is one of the places expected to benefit from the agreement, as liberalized trade will increase the flow of goods and services between Canada and Europe.
"As the increased trade flow occurs both ways, a lot of that movement will come through the port of Halifax. Some of it may indeed be moving through the airport, through the cargo aspects, and that kind of thing," he said.
"And we know every ship that comes through the harbour creates four full-time jobs per year. Fisheries also stands to benefit because of reductions in tariffs and the ability to move more products at a better price into Europe."
Jim Stanford, an economist with the CAW, agreed that fisheries and agriculture might benefit from the trade agreement, with about 300 jobs in each sector being created in Nova Scotia.
But that does not offset between 475 and 2,850 job losses in areas like manufacturing that he said will occur under CETA.
"It's very hard for me to see how this agreement would result in anything but more lost jobs and a bigger trade deficit," Stanford said.
"The reality is CETA will give a much bigger boost to European sales in Canada than the other way around."
According to Industry Canada, Nova Scotia companies produced and shipped $459-million worth of goods to the European Union in 2010 — representing 11 per cent of the value of total provincial domestic exports — up from $425.5 million in 2009 but down from the 10-year high of $520.8 million in 2006.
Fish, wood and pulp and paper products represented 62 per cent of exports from Nova Scotia to the EU, with machinery, fruits and other goods next on the list.
Meanwhile, there was $4.6-billion worth of imports from the EU cleared in Nova Scotia in 2010. These imports were not necessarily bound for Nova Scotia customers but may have been intended for other domestic markets. This was about $1.8 billion more than in 2001.
Three-quarters of those imports were cars and trucks, with the rest machinery, oil, metal products and other goods.
Trade with the EU represented almost 57 per cent of the value of imports cleared through Nova Scotia international points of entry in 2010.
Stanford said the trade deficits with Europe, both provincial and federal, are expected to continue after CETA. As some European countries teeter on economic collapse, he warned, they may be vying to export their way out of the crisis.
"It would be unprecedented, after signing a free trade agreement, to suddenly improve our trade balance," he said.
"In practice, the opposite has occurred. We've gone worse into deficit and lost more jobs with each free trade agreement that we signed."
The federal and provincial governments need to be more involved and open with the public as negotiations come to a conclusion, Sinclair said.
"They have an obligation to go out to their community and do a better job of explaining what's on the table in these negotiations and giving people a chance for input when it makes a difference before the agreement is signed, sealed and delivered and a fait-accompli," he said.
Morley agreed.
"We need a lot more engagement from all sectors of the economy, a lot more understanding of this agreement and what it means for all of us. Labour groups, business groups, everyone needs to become more aware and more involved in this process and have their say and have their input into the final result."
