when first we saw it. It had been worn by long and hard usage in launching and drawing in boats, yachts, and cutters, and it was now aged and weather-beaten and seldom used. It was the centre of attraction, however, morning by morning, for dozens of sailors, old and young; and as many as could conveniently rest their arms upon it did so, while others threw themselves down on the beach close to it, as if it could tell them stories far dearer to them than were ever written in books, or told by eloquent story-tellers.
It was among these idlers in appearance, though not in reality-for they were awaiting the return of the fishing-boats, which brought either the day's grief or joy with them to hundreds of industrious families that I first saw Peter Last. He appeared as old as the capstan, and quite as wrinkled and weather-beaten. Venerable grey locks floated in the wind; a keen blue eye, nevertheless, took in the waste of waters, and a silent, resolute face watched the weighing of anchors and the preparations of the little fishing fleet to return to shore. I was struck with the gentleness and strength of the face, and with the effect which his appearance among them had upon the beachmen. They were not the less cheerful because he came, but their mirth assumed a more subdued character, and they looked at the old man with something of a filial reverence in their faces In his brown canvas suit and coarse sou'-wester, he looked no better than any of them in the social scale ; but no one could have looked into his face twice without feeling that there was no ordinary heart behind it.
The boats slowly made their way in, and as they neared the shore looks of disappointment were exchanged, for practised eyes saw no preparations for landing fish. Soon the dismal truth was made known, that they had toiled all the night and had taken nothing, or next to nothing. Then there arose a kind of sob amongst all assembled on the beach; women turned homeward with pale faces, and husbands and brothers threw themselves sulkily around the old capstan.
" It is the Lord's will, mates," said a grave voice; do not let us tempt Him by angry and rebellious thoughts."
" It is all very well for you to say so, Peter"-for it was the venerable seaman who had spoken-"because you can keep a house about your head, fish or no fish; but it is
. different with us; we have day's hunger before us."
"I have had two or three days' hunger and thirst before me ere now," said the old man gently; " and I know what your sufferings must be with wives and children around you; but for all that don't be rebellious; it is the Lord's will, and depend upon it, so long as it is the Lord's will, no harm can come of it; I have experienced that many a time-and it was," he added reverently, lifting his old tarpaulin, "it was in an hour when I thought I should die of hunger and thirst, that I found the Bread of life and the Water of life."
I could see, in a moment, that they knew his story well, and that their impatience was softened by it. I determined that on the first convenient opportunity I would throw myself in his way to have a chat with him. The opportunity presented itself on the evening of the day on which the fishermen had been so greatly disappointed. Peter was leading two little children through a narrow street, and each of them held in the disengaged hand two or three sea biscuits, while from the breast-pocket of an old pea-jacket, which he had exchanged for his canvas frock, peeped two or three more. Remembering the conversation of the morning, I thought this one of the most touching sights I had ever witnessed. It told of the poverty of the old sailor, at the same time as of the gentleness and generosity of his soul. What he had he was ready to share with those who had not.
Meeting him on his return, I gained immediately an open door to his heart, by placing in his hand a small sum and begging him to expend it as he thought best. "Will you walk in, sir," he said, lifting his sou'-wester, "and let me be away for a few minutes ?" He conducted me into a kind of little cabin, and immediately vanished. It was
crammed with the knickkpacks dear to sailors; models of boats and ships, bits of rope and seaweed, curious shells and rare pieces of coral, miniature anchors and canoes, rough prints of shipwrecks, and a few old books of a devotional character. We were yet examining his curiosities when the old seaman returned, somewhat out of breath.
"You cannot tell, sir, how thankful the poor creatures were; they would have gone supperless to bed but for you."
"And your biscuits, old friend," I said, with a smile.
"Oh, they were nothing; they were merely for the children to sop and stay their crying. Their fathers and mothers would as soon have thought of dying as touching a crumb of them. We have as fine a set of fellows on the beach, sir, as can be found on any part of the coast; but they do find it so hard to say, 'It is the Lord's will,' in foul weather, though they can do it readily enough in fair."
" Is it not the case with most of us ? But from what I gleaned this morning I think you must have found foul weather more full of blessing than fair."
" Such was indeed the fact," said the veteran seaman gravely, after a pause; "and if you do not mind listening to an old man's yarn, I should like to tell you why."
" Above all things it would be what this evening I should like to listen to."
"Well, then," said the old sailor, with a great sob; "I nearly broke my poor mother's heart by going to sea; but when she saw how strongly I was bent upon it she made the best of it; she gave in, and tried to fit me out as confortable as her slender means would allow. I never knew my father ; but she was father and mother both in one to
One of my most vivid of childish recollections is praying at her knee, and, as I grew older, reading the Bible to her, and hearing her interpret what was difficult, in her sweet, simple way. Of her own griefs, though she was early
, left a widow, with the care of two children besides myself, she seldom spoke; if ever she did, it was to say quietly,
with a hand on our heads, "It is the Lord's will.' Sir, she has been dead nearly thirty years, but I hear her voice now, as if I were a boy again." The old man paused, almost in a listening attitude, that he might recall the tones which had been so long silent.
"I went to sea, and forgot my mother. I plunged into all kinds of dissipation on shore, and was amongst the most profane on board ship. I had promised to write home from every port at which we touched, but I never did so; and if ever a thought of home occurred to me it was so saddening that I immediately checked it in revelry the most wanton. I was the prodigal in the far country, sir, turning my back on my home, and quenching all remembrance of it in riotous living. Thus five or six years passed away, during all which time, partly through shame and partly through a rebellious, proud spirit, I never once wrote or visited home.
"We were homeward bound from New York, when there came on board a young gentleman whom I feared to face;. he was the minister of the little town in which I had been brought up, and he was my mother's friend. He had not been on deck an hour before I saw that he had recognised me, though years had passed since I had met him. I shunned him most studiously, for I feared to hear news from home; he saw my purpose, and made no attempt at recognition. One moonlight night, when it was my watch on deck, I felt in a more softened frame of mind than usual, and allowed my thoughts to steal homewards. I saw my mother in her humble cottage, with my two sisters at her feet, thinking of and praying for the wayward and ungrateful boy who had inflicted such unmerited suffering upon them. A sigh escaped me, and at that moment a hand was gently laid upon my shoulder as these words were uttered : 'Peter, I fear you have broken your poor mother's heart; I do not expect to see her alive when I get back to England; but
of course that can be a matter of little consequence.' "«What do you mean, sir ?' I asked angrily.
"I mean that I left her on a sick bed, mourning not only your unkindness, but
66 * But what?' I asked, with a shiver.
""The death of your two little sisters when you left them, but fine-grown young women when they died.'
Dead, dead !' was all that I could say.
«« Yes,' said the minister, sadly; "and all that your
mother said when she felt herself thus left childless—for she never believed that had you been alive you would so soon have forgotten her—all that she said was: "It is the Lord's will." Then she took to her bed, and I do not expect to see her alive again.'
" I fell senseless to the deck, as one who had been struck by lightning. For two or three days subsequently, in every moment of consciousness, my mother's minister, and, as in my case he proved to be, God's minister likewise, was by my hammock's side reading, talking, praying, and reviving old associations, which made me weep as I never thought to weep' again. He brought my great sin to my remembrance, but only to console me by pointing me to the Lamb of God who taketh away all sin. He instructed me, as if I were a child again, in the first principles of the Gospel, and by the Holy Spirit blessing his endeavours I saw myself lost without Christ, but safe in His merits if I accepted Him as my Saviour. What I should have been but for a more solemn teaching 'I know not; but I was no sooner able to do my work again than we were plunged into the most imminent danger. After a day marked by unusual calm there came a night of dreadful tempest. Our captain 'was one of the best and bravest men who ever sailed the seas, and all that man could do to save the ship he did, but all in vain. She had not been well built, and the storm told upon her. The water poured in, and although every man on board worked incessantly at the pumps, she rapidly filled. Ah, sir, you do not know how men feel at such times; it is then that they cry unto the Lord as they never cried before.

Since the previous thread, I often ran into troubles with constraining sketch. Very often quite some time was spent on adjusting here and there without definite direction, and suddenly the issue was gone. This made me trapped in anxiety everytime creating a sketch with splines to be constrained.
Below is an example, in which I was told "Sketch nees 0 constraints" and in fact the angle (34.2°) is free. If the angle is fixed, the sketch is onverconstrained.
I found how to fix it after trial and error ---- simply moving the driving dimension "b=30.0" to other objects, e.g. the short line in the middle. But I don't know why it works. That means, I don't know whether I can have good luck to fix similar issue next time.
Hope to have your suggestions. Thanks!

What to see at the Asia Pacific Architecture Festival
The Asia Pacific Architecture Festival returns to Brisbane next week, with this year's theme focusing on water and our relationship with this finite resource.
"We each have a relationship with water, as an identity or a memory, but first and foremost, as a necessary resource," say the festival's organisers.
"In a time of great environmental challenges, water plays a significant role in the growth of urban and rural regions. With current affairs in mind, the 2020 festival will showcase leading architects, designers and planners, and their innovative responses to water across the Asia Pacific region."
The festival will run in various locations throughout Queensland's capital from 7 – 20 March 2020, and is curated by University of Queensland dean and School of Architecture head Cameron Bruhn and architecture graduate Georgia Birks.
Cameron Bruhn and Georgia Birks
The 2020 program features a selection of exhibitions, installations, symposia, lectures and workshops that promote and celebrate architecture's pivotal role in the culture, sustainability and economy of the Asia Pacific region.
One of the highlights is the The Architecture Symposium on 13 March, a day-long event that explores the innovative thinking and transformative projects that are creating new world cities for the emerging Asian Century.
It will include speeches from COX Architecture founding partner Phillip Cox, RAW Architecture principal Realrich Sjarief and Komada Architects' Office director Takeshi Komada.

The following day, you can explore Federal House alongside its architect, Kim Bridgland from Edition Office, and K and T's Place with its architects, Lachlan Nielsen and Morgan Jenkins, as they share stories together with their clients about the successes and challenges of creating homes that reflect the way we live today.
Also on 14 March, the University of Queensland Art Museum will be hosting a timed oral presentation curated through a series of visual prompts. The guest speaker is Alison Page, an award-winning creative at the forefront of contemporary Australian Aboriginal design and storytelling, and her visuals will be uploaded to an Instagram 'feed' so you can view them on your own handheld device during the Blak Feeds session.

Women in design, art and architecture will also be celebrated in the Thinking Through Craft: Sustainability, Materials, Practice on 18 March.
During this conversation, panellists will uncover the role of craft techniques and traditions in driving enterprise. The panel will draw from the fields of education, architecture, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and craft research.
On 19 March, join Pacific scholar and feminist Karamia Müller and Charmaine 'Ilaiū Talei, discipline lead for Kramer Ausenco's regional offices in Australia and the South West Pacific Islands, for Oceanic space and Pacific futures – a lively discussion of Pacific architecture, urbanism and oceanic spatial concepts.
Finally, on 20 March, you can watch Tim Ross: Designing a Legacy – a live cinematic show that looks at why architecture matters, curated by comedian and design nerd Tim Ross. The show features the Australian families whose lives have been shaped within the walls of modern masterpieces designed by Robin Boyd, Roy Grounds, Ken Woolley and John Andrews.
The Asia Pacific Architecture Festival is a mix of paid and free events, some are open to the public and others require bookings. To find out more, visit the official festival website.

        $this->loadEventCategories();

        $this->loadEvents();

So if someone know how to correct the error or ignore ?

Home Pop Culture Coke Studio: 6 Potential Contenders Who Can Replace Strings
Coke Studio: 6 Potential Contenders Who Can Replace Strings
Image Source: Dawn
Sunday night was remarkable in many ways. While the nation was celebrating return of International cricket to our national stadium, Strings announced their retirement as producers from Coke Studio after 4 years of sheer glory.
The development led to mixed reactions with some finding it hard to say goodbye and others feeling it was about time. Regardless of what side you pick, there is one question that has been worrying all of us following the band's decision i.e. "who will get behind-the-wheel next?"
Also Read: 10 All Time Favorite Coke Studio Songs On A Millennial's Playlist
In a bid to answer this query, we have listed out for you 6 potential candidates perfect for the job based on their previous performances. Let's have a look at it!
1. Shuja Haider
Image Source: Coke Studio
With CS hits like Aaqa, Aaya Laariye, Jaan-e-Baharaan, Sab Jag Soye, Khaki Banda and Tera Who Pyar in his bucket, Shuja Haider became a household name for producing heartfelt Sufi melodies and successful renditions of Pakistani classics in a short period of just 2 years.
Also, Shuja Haider is perhaps the only artist on this list who doesn't belong to any band nor did he start his career in a conventional manner by releasing singles. Rather, he started off his music career by lending his voice to songs in Pakistani films, "Khuda Kay Liye" and "Bol" directed by critically acclaimed Shoaib Mansoor and then went on to produce music for artists as big as Shehzad Roy, Ahmed Jahanzeb and Haroon Rashid.
He is also the man behind many exceptional OSTs of Pakistani drama serials like Tum Mere Hi Rehna (2014), Muqaddas (2015), Sehra Main Safar (2015) and Mann Mayal (2016). During this time, he released three singles as well and all three of them did pretty well on the music charts.
With such extraordinary music career, Shuja Haider remains one of the strongest claimants to the throne.
2. Jaffer Zaidi
It won't be wrong if I might say that music runs in his blood. Son of famous Pakistani Singer Nayyara Noor and the lead vocalist of semiclassical band Kaavish which gave us unforgettable songs like "Bachpan", "Choti Khushiyaan" and "Tere Pyar Mein", Jaffer Zaidi started his career as a music director and producer in Coke Studio much later in 2016.
Since then he has given numerous promising CS numbers with artists like Ali Azmat, Javed Bashir, Sanam Marvi, Ali Khan, Saieen Zahoor, Ali Hamza, Ali Sethi, Ali Zafar and Strings themselves. Whether its Janay Na Tu, Man Kunto Maula, Uddi Ja, Chall Mele Noon Challiye/Lagi Bina or Faasle, each song has a recall value to it which explains why Jaffer sits on this list.
Cherry on the top is one of the best cover songs of CS, Ranjish Hi Sahi and this year's season finale's tribute to Junaid Jamshed (Uss Raah Par) which further strengthens Jaffer's case.
3. Ali Hamza/ Noori
Noori has been an integral part of Coke Studio since the beginning; having the honor of performing in both Rohail Hyatt and Strings produced seasons. After producing CS hits like Saari Raat Jaga, Hor Vi Neevan Ho, Baliye (Laung Gawacha), Aja Re More Saiyaan and the undisputed Paar Chanaa De, the duo decided to part their ways and hence, we were introduced to Ali Hamza as music director for the first time in season 10 of Coke Studio.
My personal favorite for this job, Ali Hamza didn't miss the mark even once and put up consecutive extraordinary performances like Tinak Dhin, Jindjaani (Jhanjar Phabdi Na) and Kaatay Na Katay; with the former being referred to as the best original to come out in Season 10.
Other than that, Noori on the whole and Ali Hamza alone have had glorious musical careers apart from their CS journey which does not need much introduction. This is why I believe that Ali Hamza is the perfect guy for the job.
4. Shiraz Uppal
Image Source:Coke Studio
There is no way that the producer of CS biggest hit, "Tajdaar-e-Haram" won't make it to this list. Shiraz Uppal is a name which needs no introduction. Having worked with musical genius A.R. Rahman, Atif Aslam, Noori, Zeb and Haniya, JAL, Amanat, Fareeha Pervaiz and produced several successful tracks for many Pakistani and Bollywood films, Shiraz Uppal is undoubtedly at the top of his game.
Though, he directed music in Coke Studio in only season 9 but even then, he managed to leave his mark with melodies like Saasu Mangay, Ala Baali, Shamaan Pai Gaiyaan and Tu Kuja Man Kuja.
Shiraz Uppal, with his diverse experience and unmatched capabilities, has what it takes to run a show as grand as Coke Studio.
5. Shahi Hasan
The odd-one–out on the list, Shahzad Hasan has never been on Coke Studio apart from producing backstage music for the series. However, being a cofounder and bass player of Vital Signs, by far the most popular music band to have existed in Pakistan, Shahi does not need to prove why his name should be on the cards. He is unequivocally country's best bass guitar player and one of the most seasoned music directors to live.
Also Read: EP Performed in Pepsi Battle of the Bands' Grand Finale and We Can't Get Over It!
Having said that, I also dread that on being offered any such position, he might turn it down due to his contractual obligations towards Pepsi Battle of the Bands, another music reality show (the return of which took whole music industry by storm).
6. Rohail Hyatt
Image Source: Express Tribune
The most obvious yet improbable contender, who would be more appropriate for the job than the man himself who conceived the idea and laid the foundation of Coke Studio which was later adopted in India and Middle East?
He not only produced the show for more than half of a decade but also took Coke Studio to new heights by collaborating with artists beyond the borders. Much of the popularity that Coke Studio enjoys today internationally is ought to Rohail Hyatt's unparalleled flair for music, his visionary leadership and tireless dedication to preserve our musical heritage and produce, "sound of the nation".
Also Read: Saieen Zahoor & Sanam Marvi Return to Coke Studio with a BANG!
Whether he will come back to the rescue of Coke Studio or not is whole another debate that we should leave for another day. For now, let's just hope that whoever grabs the producer's hat lives up to the nation's expectations by maintaining the benchmark set by the predecessors.

Karolina Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, (: Caroline Amalie Elisabeth von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel; 17. května 1768, Brunšvik – 7. srpna 1821, Londýn) byla jako manželka britského krále Jiřího IV. britskou královnou.

Biografie
Karolina se narodila jako třetí ze sedmi dětí Karla Viléma Ferdinanda, vévody brunšvicko-wolfenbüttelského a jeho manželky Augusty Frederiky, waleské princezny, sestry britského krále Jiřího III.

Manželství a dcera

V 27 letech se provdala za svého bratrance, 33letého waleského prince Jiřího Augusta, budoucího britského krále Jiřího IV. Ze strany ženichovy předcházely sňatku složité peripetie: ve svých 21 letech se zamiloval do dvakrát ovdovělé katoličky Marie Anny Fitzherbert; sňatek s ní mu byl ovšem podle Act of Settlement z roku 1701 zapovězen pod hrozbou ztráty nároku na trůn.

Jiří podle jiného nařízení, Royal Marriages Act z roku 1772, potřeboval ke sňatku souhlas krále, který mu ho z pochopitelných důvodů nedal, Jiří se však s ní přesto – tajně a bez souhlasu krále – 15. prosince roku 1785 oženil, podle výše uvedeného zákona však sňatek byl neplatný, paní Fitzherbert však věřila, že je legitimní, pokládajíc zákony katolické církve za nadřazené zákonům státu a anglikánské církve. Z politických důvodů byl sňatek utajen. Způsob života prince Jiřího vedl nicméně k postupnému enormnímu narůstání jeho dluhů;, jejich placení řešil několikrát parlament. Nakonec se král Jiří III. rozhodl mu pomoci, ovšem pouze za předpokladu, že se ožení podle práva. Za nevěstu byla vybrána Karolina Brunšvická.

Svatební obřad Karoliny a Jiřího se uskutečnil 8. dubna roku 1795 v St James's Palace v Londýně.

Manželství, k němuž byl ženich takto donucen, se zákonitě ukázalo jako fatálně nezdařilé a po celou dobu jeho trvání Jiří dával pocítit manželce svou nenávist. Stavěl se k ní od počátku negativně, již jako novomanžel označil Karolinu za nepřitažlivou ženu nedbající o hygienu a navíc ji podezíral, že v okamžiku svatby nebyla již panna. Karolina rovněž považovala Jiřího za málo atraktivního; když přesně za devět měsíců porodila dceru Šarlotu Augustu (7. ledna 1796), bylo narození malé princezny považováno za "zázračné", neboť jak vyplynulo z pozdější princovy korespondence, měl Jiří za společného života se svou manželkou pouze tři intimní kontakty. Jiří dítě od matky drasticky odtrhl několik dní po narození. Když měla Šarlota Augusta několik měsíců, její rodiče se formálně odloučili.

Zavržená královna

Karolina neměla žádnou možnost vychovávat svou dceru a v roce 1799 byla vypovězena do soukromé rezidence v Blackheath, známé jako "Pagoda", kde měla mít cizoložné vztahy s politikem Georgem Canningem a admirálem Sirem Sydney Sithem. Po sledování jejího soukromého života jejím manželem Carolina odjela ze země do Evropy, zanechávajíc po sobě cestou po kontinentu velké dluhy a různé milence; mezi nimi nejznámější byl Ital Bartolomeo Pergami.

Mezitím se jediná dcera Karoliny a Jiřího provdala a nedlouho po svatbě (v roce 1817) zemřela při porodu svého prvního dítěte, které se narodilo mrtvé.

Po smrti Jiřího III. roku 1820 se stal Jiří IV. jeho nástupcem. Karolina se vrátila do Anglie, ale Jiřího vztahy k ní se nezměnily a byly velmi chladné. Odmítl ji přiznat práva manželky krále a její jméno bylo vynecháno i v knize obecných modliteb. Král se pokoušel dosáhnout jejich rozvodu, ale byl od toho svými přáteli zrazován, protože by vyšly najevo podrobnosti o jeho rozmařilém životě. Proto se Jiří pokusil roku 1820 dosáhnout rozvodu návrhem Zákona o pokutách a trestech, ve kterém navrhoval, aby parlament mohl uvalit trest bez projednání záležitosti před soudem. Pomocí tohoto zákona chtěl dosáhnout anulování svého sňatku. Zákon se ale setkal s velkým odporem veřejnosti a byl z parlamentu stažen. Jiří se rozhodl Karolínu vyloučit z účasti na své korunovaci 19. června 1821, třebaže byla stále britskou královnou a měla být korunována spolu s ním.

Přes všechna protivenství Jiřího proti ní byla Karolina u Britů velmi populární.

Smrt

V noci po korunovaci Karolina onemocněla – zvracela a měla slabý puls. Zemřela o dva týdny později, 7. srpna 1821 ve svých 53 letech. Byla poslední královnou, která nepřežila svého manžela.

Přesnou příčinu její smrti se nikdy nepodařilo stanovit kvůli Karolině samotné – věděla, že umírá a žádala, aby se neprovedla její pitva.

I během svým posledních okamžiků byla přesvědčena, že je sledována mužem jménem Lushington, který podával zprávy o jejím zdraví věrnému stoupenci královu, lordu Liverpoolovi. Důvod tohoto dohledu nad jejím úmrtním ložem je dosud zahalen tajemstvím a písemná dokumentace Karolinina skonu byla označena za extrém.

Třebaže byla podle práva zákonnou královnou Velké Británie, byla pohřbena – podle svého přání – ve svém rodišti Brunšviku.

On Saturday, July 27, 2013 Cindy Hicks-Orth, founder and director of Giving Back to Wounded Knee Foundation gave a presentation titled "Together In The Spirit" at the Westchester Public Library. Midwest SOARRING Foundation, a Native American organization located in Westchester, Illinois, sponsored her as a guest speaker for this event. Hicks brought with her an extensive collection of books, photographs, artwork, and hand crafted Native American handcrafts for display, which impressed her audience.
Hicks, of Shawnee ancestry covered the history and current day affairs on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations. Spending much of her summers planning and organizing her foundation's annual Give Away for the Oglala Lakota and Rosebud Sicangu Reservations in South Dakota, her motivating talk inspired the audience. An activist for Native American Indian issues, Hicks speaks all over the country on issues current and relavant to the people she serves, and those issues of historical value that may not be so familiar with "outsiders".
By creating awareness of the conditions in which her Sioux friends exist, she is careful to dispell those who think that all Native Indians are wealthy due to some of the casinos found on fortunate reservations. The Rosebud and Pine Ridge are in two of the three most poverty stricken counties in the country. Hicks told her listeners that every summer, she gathers a group and together they take a Truck of Honor out to either Pine Ridge or Rosebud to distribute the goods among the tribal citizens who are all invited to attend.
In response to her talk, Hicks received plentiful donations in gently used clothing and household goods, contributions for gas money, and the promise of a rental truck and driver for the upcoming 2013 fall trip to the Rosebud Reservation.
The week of October 6-12, 2013 a caravan of cars, trucks, trailers, vans, and box truck traveled to the Rosebud Sicangu Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. Midweek found 3 feet of snow in the Black Hills and the last day there were 70 mph straight winds and rain, but the weather for the Giveaway was sunny and mild so it was a good day for lots of people to get out and come to inspect the collection of clothing and household items and take what they needed.
Several hundred came through the doors at the Barry Greenstein Gymnasium and as usual, when the doors were opened at 8:45 a.m., the room was quite bare by noon. There are so many people to thank for all of the help Giving Back To Wounded Knee Foundation received to make this event a success. We thank you all, and appreciate the help from President Cyril Scott of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, his Administrative Assistant, Wilma Robertson, and Teddy Rae Herman-Rogers, her beautiful daughters and friend Raechel Rae Herman and Ariana Herman-Waln and Dawn Rae Waln, in helping us find the space and assistance we needed for the event. And to Mr. Joseph Standing Bear Schranz and Janet Sevilla of the Midwest SOARRING Foundation who encouraged their members to donate many beautiful items at their September Harvest Pow Wow. Many other people either joined us on the trip to South Dakota, and/or contributed their time to loading the trucks, sorting and packing boxes, and in many cases purchasing and donating many of the items for the Give Away. For those who joined up with us ~ whom we could not have brought this off this year, our deepest thanks for making this trip so really very special.
We came equipped with six sets of twin bed mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and warm bedding in excellent condition. There were over 100 formal gowns for spring proms, dozens of warm coats for men, women, and children; many new shoes and boots, warm sweaters of all sizes, school supplies and stuffed animals for the little ones, dozens of new socks and underclothing. A large screen TV was donated to the veterans on the reservation and a Finish wood burning stove was also a Give Away find. There were dressers, mirrors, side tables, comfy chairs for relaxing, and a large wrought iron patio table with eight chairs. Other items include a kerosene stove, a 27" Sony TV, thousands of clothing items (many new) for men, women, and children, and an especially nice selection of beautiful, warm coats and jackets for men. View photos of the 2013 Give Away.
We wish to thank ALL who generously donated impeccable goods and clothing, time and money to keep making these trips to Pine Ridge and Rosebud, South Dakota happen successfully, year after year. We coul NOT do this without you ~ in fact, we need more volunteers to help us bring off what has become a "looked forward to" expedition and function. The joy we receive in being able to expedite these big loads of goods to folks who may need them were received in the same spirit ~ we found many warm smiles, thank you's, and God's Blessings our way from the Rosebud citizens who trekked out and took advantage of our supplies ~ which we love to hear and love to help as well.

MNL48 performs Filipino-translated AKB48 Songs at First Fan Meet
Fans of the Philippine-based idol group had the first taste of the translated AKB48 hits during the event.

The first-generation members of MNL48 have surprised the fans with their Filipino version of select AKB48 songs during their First Fan Meet event held at Elements at Centris in Quezon City last Sunday.
In their first performance since the General Election, the all-Filipina members of AKB48's newest sister group performed Aitakatta, Heavy Rotation, and Sakura no Hanabiratachi with Filipino lyrics for the first time to their fans.
Opening the performances were all 65 members singing and dancing to Aitakatta in Filipino. Despite the audio difficulties experienced throughout the event, the acts continued with the Senbatsu members performing the Filipino version of Heavy Rotation.
The first-generation members of MNL48 concluded the event with a tearful performance of the translated Sakura no Hanabiratachi.
Some fans with knowledge of the Japanese idol system have noticed that the group did not perform an "Overture," an opening song that AKB48 and its sister groups usually start their events with.
"Gusto ko lang po magpasalamat sa inyo kasi nagsisimula pa lang po kami pero ang dami n'yo na po…" Sheki Arzaga, MNL48's Center, said.
(I just want to thank everyone here because there's so many of you here even though we're just starting out.)
Arzaga adds, "Sana po 'wag n'yo kaming iiwan hanggang dulo po. Alam ko po na marami pa kaming pagdadaanan; simula pa lang po ito. At alam ko po na magiging successful itong MNL48, at kayo po ang dahilan kaya po kami nagiging successful ngayon."
(I hope you won't leave us until the end. I know that there are more things to come our way, and this is just the beginning. I know that MNL48 will be successful, and that's all because of you.)
Aside from the performances, there were also games and raffle promos for the fans during the Official Meet. Photo Cards of the girls were also sold at the event for PHP400 per set of 5.
A trading area was also set up for fans who want to trade cards of their oshi or favorite members.
MNL48 is an international sister group of AKB48 following previous units namely JKT48, BNK48, and TPE48. The Philippine idol group is set to perform daily on its own theater, continuing AKB48's concept of "idols you can meet."
AKB48 was formed in 2005, regularly hosting events where fans can interact with its members, including taking pictures or shaking hands.
Since then, they have been one of the most successful girl groups in the world, releasing several singles and albums which are being sold in millions worldwide.
The idol group currently holds the Guinness Book of World Records for "Largest Pop Group," which was set in March 2013.
They have since expanded to several sister groups in Japan, which include SKE48 (Sakae, Nagoya), NMB48 (Namba, Osaka), HKT48 (Hakata, Fukuoka), and NGT48 (Niigata).
Their first overseas expansion was JKT48 based in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2011. SNH48 followed the next year, but AKB48 suspended its partnership with the Shanghai-based group in June 2016 due to a contract violation, removing its references on their website.
In 2016, the idol group expanded their overseas sister groups to three more cities, which are BNK48 based in Bangkok, TPE48 based in Taipei, and MNL48 based in Manila.
The idol group announced in December last year that they are launching another overseas spin-off, which is MUM48 based in Mumbai, India.

Final Fantasy XV's Final DLC Will Have 4 Player Co-Op
Bros hanging out with bros.

Home » News » Final Fantasy XV's Final DLC Will Have 4 Player Co-Op
It's been a pretty good day for Final Fantasy XV fans. Not only has the game finally gone gold, but Square Enix also put out a brand new trailer with tons of cool stuff and surprising announcements. One such surprise is the addition of four player co-op that'll be coming by way of DLC.
The mode, known as "Comrades," will be the last piece of post release content for the game after solo episodes focused on Noctis' friends Gladio, Ignis, and Prompto. Exactly what you'll be doing beyond fighting monsters is going to be a mystery for the time being, as Square Enix has only fairly recently begun work on Gladio's adventure. They hadn't even started working on any of the DLC until the summer after the game was delayed.
Comrades will come as part of the Season Pass, but if you don't want the other three adventures, you're free to buy it separately when it releases. Obviously, a price point or release window for the co-op mode hasn't been revealed, but when it does, we'll let you know.
Final Fantasy XV will finally release on Nov. 29 for the PS4 and Xbox One.

Carroll Baker Biography
Known as the "Canada's First Lady of Country Music", Carroll Baker epitomizes every value that has made country music the enduring form that it is: honesty, reality, genuine feeling, hard work, love, family, church, friendship, respect for others. Born in Nova Scotia, Baker moved to Toronto at the age of 16 and began singing with a bar band in Oakville, eventually moving on to fairs and jamborees across Southern Ontario.
Her first single, 'Memories of Home' was a minor hit in Ontario, but it was her 1975 recording of Conway Twitty's, 'I've Never Been This Far Before' that launched her into international success. Her long time management pact with Don Grashey also saw the pair co-write many of her early career hits on Grashey's Gaiety Records label.
Baker has had fourteen consecutive #1 hits and over fifty recorded compositions, including, 'Tonight with Love', 'Why I Had to Pass this Way', 'It's My Party', 'It's Late I Have to Go', 'Hooked on a Feeling, 'Love Triangle' and 'Dreamin' Ain't Cheatin'. Her composition 'I'm An Old Rock 'N Roller' was a country chart hit in 1984 for Tom Jones.
Baker also experienced success on television, appearing live on CBC's "Superspecials" in 1978-79 and on her own CBC summer series, "The Carroll Baker Jamboree" in 1983. In 1998, she starred in the BBS special, "Carroll Baker's Country Classics".
Baker received Juno Awards in 1977-1979 for 'Country Female Vocalist of the Year', as well as numerous Big Country Awards for 'Vocalist of the Year', 'Album of the Year' and 'Single of the Year'. She received the CCMA Award in 1982 and 1985 for 'Best Female Vocalist' and in 1986, took home the award for 'Best-Selling Album'.
Carroll Baker continues to lead a successful life as one of Canada's best loved songwriters and performers, acting as an ambassador of Canadian country music.
Carroll Baker was appointed to the Order of Canada on May 25, 2009.

Unfortunately, everything that I'm reading at the moment and have been reading recently hasn't been down to my own choosing. I've been pacing through University reading lists, taking in one different novel each week as well as, at least, four poems (some being about the same length as a novel!).
Although I haven't bought every book below – I'll admit that I did borrow some from the library…if I didn't, my bank balance and I would have problems – I have put them all together to show you my haul from over the past month!
I've decided to stick solely to the novels for the time being to save it from getting messy and too long, but if you're interested in seeing the poetry I've been reading then just let me know! Furthermore, if you would like to see reviews/ratings on the books I've been reading then that's also something I can get around to doing.
I apologise for the over-indulgence of Scottish fiction, but that is my main focus for the time being after all. I have enjoyed the majority of these novels…some, not so much…but, if I'm being honest, I am itching to get back to my own choice of reading! I think being told what you have to read makes the whole process quite tedious; if I had read these novels off my own accord, I feel that I would have appreciated them more. Nevertheless, there's no way I would have read this much if I didn't have the pressure from university, so I guess I have to be thankful for the motivation.
Have you read any of these books? Tell me what you thought of them in the comments section below this post!!


The Library of Congress had a few more really good Arnold Genthe photographs I'd like to share.
The first two are from San Francisco, around the time of the great earthquake.
Genthe also photographed famous people. I like this one of the dancer Anna Pavlova and the next of Theodore Roosevelt, near the end of his life.
The last photograph is of the artist himself. This is Arnold Genthe, at Long Beach, New York – and dressed to the 9s! He looks very spiffy!

Watch a Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R undergo a factory restoration
As Nissan Skyline GT-R values continue to soar, the automaker's Nismo performance division has launched a factory restoration program. This Nismo-produced video shows an R32 Skyline GT-R going through the process.
The comprehensive restoration process involves stripping the car down to its bare body shell. The shell is then checked for damaged, given an anti-rust coating, and repainted. Every other component is also inspected and tested, and replaced with a reproduction part if necessary.
While Nissan has a line of official replacement parts for the R32, R33, and R34 GT-R, original interior fabrics can't be replaced due to changes in flame retardant standards, according to the automaker. Nismo restorers can clean the original material for reuse, or replace it with fabric used in the current R35 GT-R.
R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R undergoing Nismo restoration
Once the car is reassembled, it's tested on the dyno and on the track. Completed cars get a build plate showing they've been restored, and a one-year, 20,000-kilometer (12,427-mile) warranty). All work is done at Nismo's main facility in Yokohama, Japan. A full restoration can take up to a year, according to the automaker.
The cost of all that is 45 million yen (about $414,000 at current exchange rates), not including the donor car. Nismo does have options for GT-R owners with smaller budgets, though. Instead of a complete restoration, Nismo can just focus on one area, such as the powertrain or interior. Alternatively, Nismo also offers an upgrade service that can for example, turn a standard GT-R into a V-Spec or V-Spec II Nur. However, that's dependent on parts availability.
With the R32 GT-R now eligible for import into North America, and so many cars heavily modified by tuners, values of original cars are likely to continue rising. As with other automakers' factory restoration programs, Nissan's GT-R restorations monetize the company's heritage, but also keep more classics on the road.

It seems that summer has now arrived. OK, storms and flash-floods aside that is!
If you're going to make those dreams of outdoor living a reality this year, now really is the time to ring the changes.
Before we know where we are, we'll be talking autumnal evenings and winter warmers!
So, what does outdoor living mean to you, or would you prefer the idea of 'bringing the outdoors indoors', which means different things to different people?
We know that the English weather can be somewhat unpredictable, with unexpected showers and surprising cold evenings.
Therefore, if al fresco dining and entertaining is on your agenda this summer, there's a lot to be said for planning!
While many homes open from the living room onto the garden, this is often less than ideal, with garden debris being tracked across your beautiful and luxurious carpet!
This is amplified in all but the driest of conditions when you're hosting a barbeque or garden party.
And that's before you get to the spilled drinks and dropped food!
Some of the best transformations for bring the outdoors inside are created by opening up the kitchen to the garden. A nice wide opening is often the first step in engaging with the outdoors. A clever use of plants blurs the lines of inside and outside too, while the bright kitchen surfaces reflect the light throughout the space.
We often say that the kitchen is the heart of the home and never more so during social gatherings! Guests tend to gather around the kitchen island and the hard floors are simply the best when it comes to spillages, garden souvenirs and general wear and tear!
And if the weather changes and the gathering moves indoors, bringing the damp with them, so what? The kitchen is designed to take all this in its stride!
If you're considering your kitchen design options, or thinking about bringing the outdoors in this year, get in touch or pay us a visit at our showroom!

Pop-Up Shop at West Elm!
I recently had a pop-up shop at West Elm in San Diego. WOOT WOOOOT! Nothing like a good excuse to connect with your community, am I right?! I really wanted to find a way to bring this amazing DIY floating acrylic frame project to people via the 'A Beautiful Mess' blog, without conducting a workshop where I had 20+ people I didn't know using a power drill. Floating acrylic frames can be a bit pricey, and this technique really accomplished the look for a lot less $$.
More pictures from the pop-up below, thank you so much West Elm San Diego for having me!

Cops In Cuffs
Hawaii Military Officer Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Child Pornography
A U.S. Military Police Officer asked a 12-year-old girl for nude pictures.
A former military police officer stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, was sentenced in federal court on Tuesday to 15 years in prison for producing child pornography and for online exploitation and "sextortion" of a minor female.
Christopher Fox, 21, was ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution to the victim and her family, serve 10 years of supervised release and register as a sex offender.
The case is the result of a probe by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Wiltshire (United Kingdom) Police Department.
According to federal court documents, Fox began corresponding with a 12-year-old female in the United Kingdom through social media – including Instagram and Snapchat – in August 2016.
Fox began to solicit sexually explicit photographs from the girl, knowing she was a minor. After obtaining her nude photographs, Fox asked for more.
Fox used the photographs he initially received from the girl to blackmail her into sending additional explicit photographs, and threatened to distribute the initial photographs to her friends and family if she did not comply with his demands. When his victim refused to continue sending Fox her photographs, he created a fictitious social media account under her name, and used that account to distribute the sexually explicit photographs to her friends and classmates.
As a result of Fox's crime, the minor victim was bullied, harassed, and threatened with further extortion by random strangers online.
Kenji M. Price, U.S. Attorney for the District of Hawaii, mentions:
"This office is committed to holding those who sexually exploit our young people accountable for their crimes, which have a devastating impact on victims, their families, and the community at large. We will continue to aggressively prosecute, and seek significant sentences for defendants who prey on our young people."
This case was pursued as part of the Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood and HSI's Operation Predator an international HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators.
Since the launch of Operation Predator in 2003, HSI has arrested more than 16,000 individuals for crimes against children, including the production and distribution of online child pornography, traveling overseas for sex with minors, and sex trafficking of children.
In fiscal year 2016, more than 2,600 child predators were arrested by HSI special agents under this initiative and more than 800 victims were identified or rescued.

Before you even start reading, you need to know how much I worship these cheesecake bars. If I could eat one dessert, heck one food, for the rest of my life it would be these. I am not exaggerating at all. I don't know what it is about them; maybe it's the decadent crust or the melt-in-your-mouth filling… well, all I know is that they are HIGHLY addictive and basically have a cult following with my friends and me.
In all honesty, more often than not I find myself eating multiple of these at a time (maybe 3… alright 4), and I ain't mad about it! I listen to my body, fill it with nutritious foods, and give it what it asks for – it is asking for these bars. They are made will real ingredients that make me feel good and satisfied, so heck yes I'll have another if I want it!
So yeah… If that doesn't sell these bars to you I don't know what will. Make them – rest assured you will not regret it.
These bars were inspired by a recipe created by one of my biggest mentors, Dani Nemeh!
* If you do not have either of these, I have not tested with other granolas but feel free to experiment at your own risk!
In a food processor (I suppose a blender would work too) combine the ingredients for the crust and process until smooth. Transfer crust mixture into the parchment lined baking dish and allow to set in the freezer for 30 minutes – In the meantime, make the filling!
For the filling, add all of the filling ingredients into the food processor and blend it up until very smooth and creamy. This may involve scraping down the sides once or twice in between blending.
After crust has set and filling is done, layer the filling on top of the crust, smooth out the top, and freezer for at least 3.5 – 4 hours (if you can even wait that long :)). Slice it up and devour!
